Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX: Difference between revisions

m
It is best to work through the Internet settings screen in the MX admin interface.
 
Consequently, there is a difference between the entries in Cumulus.in, remove the IncludeSTDImages=1 used in Cumulus 1 and replace it with IncludeGraphDataFiles=1 used in MX.
* for example remove the IncludeSTDImages=1 used in Cumulus 1
*and replace it with IncludeGraphDataFiles=1 used in MX.
*whilst the former included the moon image for Cumulus 1, the latter does not affect the moon image for MX
 
If you have been using the Cumulus 1 supplied web pages, you will find they do not work with MX, there is a new set provided with MX that work slightly differently.
 
* Cumulus 1 uploads a number of images, these include a couple of images that combined show the moon phase, and a number of graphs are also uploaded as images (used on Cumulus 1 trends page).
*Prior to release 3.6.0, Cumulus MX does not upload any images
* Cumulus MX does not upload any images (prior to Release 3.5.0, from then on it uploads a moon phase image), instead it uploads a series of .json files that hold time and value pairs that can be used to draw graphs. (Hence the difference in settings mentioned above). Thus the trends web page works totally differently.
*From release 3.6.0, Cumulus MX can upload a moon image (again derived from another base image), as an option (2 settings, one to generate, another to upload)
* Cumulus MX does not upload any images (prior to Release 3.5.0, from then on it uploads a moon phase image), instead it uploads a series of .json files that hold time and value pairs that can be used to draw graphs. (Hence the difference in settings mentioned above). Thus the trends web page works totally differently.
* The gauges page provided with MX is based on Mark's implementation of steel series, so it is different to the old "Web Dashboard Components for FreeWX and FreeWX-Wi " that Cumulus 1 used.
* The other web pages look the same, and indeed are effectively functionally same. You might see some derivatives on MX pages that were not seen on Cumulus 1 pages.
