buienradar van  
[node-red-contrib-buienradar (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-buienradar) werkt OK  
Je kunt de windrichting goed aangeven in graden (0-360) met windrichtingGR.  
Vraag  
De windrichting met {{payload.buienradar.windrichting}} heeft een aanduiding nodig in de vorm  
N-NE-E-S-SW-W-NW  
Is daar iets voor beschreven?  
Iets anders dan:  
graden-degree to point-compass point /. n-points to degree-degree

No idea if this is what you are looking for, but I found this with a little Googleing.

```auto
var degreesToCardinal = function(deg){
  if (deg>11.25 && deg<=33.75){return "NNE";}
  else if (deg>33.75 && deg<56.25){return "NE";}
  else if (deg>56.25 && deg<78.75){return "ENE";}
  else if (deg>78.75 && deg<101.25){return "E";}
  else if (deg>101.25 && deg<123.75){return "ESE";}
  else if (deg>123.75 && deg<146.25){return "SE";}
  else if (deg>146.25 && deg<168.75){return "SSE";}
  else if (deg>168.75 && deg<191.25){return "S";}
  else if (deg>191.25 && deg<213.75){return "SSW";}
  else if (deg>213.75 && deg<236.25){return "SW";}
  else if (deg>236.25 && deg<258.75){return "WSW";}
  else if (deg>258.75 && deg<281.25){return "W";}
  else if (deg>281.25 && deg<303.75){return "WNW";}
  else if (deg>303.75 && deg<326.25){return "NW";}
  else if (deg>326.25 && deg<348.75){return "NNW";}
  else {return "N";}

Or a simple function node containing...

@dick,

This kind of conversions can also be made using the  
[node-red-contrib-compass](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-compass) node.

Bart,  
bedankt voor de info.  
Zoals ik schreef in de vraag is daar een manier voor die werkt maar ik krijg dan de vermelding niet op het scherm bij de cirkel van het diagram.  
Ik zoek een andere oplossing  
Een afbeelding met die aanduidingen N-E enz al in de afbeelding.

I am confused about your issue... are you looking for something like a dashboard display?

Thanks

The display is good, but now i am looking for an integration in node-red/gauge/

I still don't understand what you are asking from us? That display I showed IS a custom gauge in node-red

@dick I see you have another topic about collecting weather data... with equally confusing details...

Are you looking to make some form of display or have you already got one and want to add details like the wind compass?

I made this one from [OpenWeatherMap Weather Dashboard with Icons - Landscape (flow) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/flow/d7af9f5d6f6923324466c58ea4f0655f), and later added in my compass. I pull the weather data from [Weather API - OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/api)

the custom display in node-red is without the markering e ,s,w etc.

the display you mentioned is not that i can find in NR.  
thanks for your efforts.

Gunner,  
thanks  
My purpose at this moment is to integrate my OWN data (a string of values, transformed to excel as a  
possibility) When i get this data in NR, than comes the question how to do that?  
Is it possible to get a string of data into NR?

It is a **custom gauge** based on Canvas. There have been a few recent topics about these such gauges and their various libraries.

You may have to install the canvas library in your node-red static folder... similar to how I did in this post

Here is two examples of the same "gauge" with changes to size, colours, tick marks etc. The script source path assumes node-red's `settings.js` path is at `/home/pi/node-red-static/` and the folder containing the library is called `Canvas-Gauges` but you can make it however you want and edit the path accordingly.

As stated in that other topic... there should be no need to get Excel involved, but you do need to provide clear details about where you are getting your data, and how it looks "natively" from the source.

These gauges (as do most) assume data as a number (in this case degrees 0-360), but just as it is possible to convert from number to cardinal, one can go the other way... See here (as posted above by @BartButenaers): [node-red-contrib-compass (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-compass)

But again... all depends on the source and type of your data and then what exactly you want to do with it.

settings.js should be in /home/pi/.node-red (note the period)

Inside it is a parameter ‘node-red-static’ that you can set to point at a folder for static data

The location of settings.js should be in /var/log/syslog.  
In a terminal run **tail -f /var/log/syslog**  
In another **sudo systemctl restart nodered**  
Then after a couple of seconds, in the first terminal CTRL c to stop the output.

You should get something like this

```auto

Don’t trust anything on google.  
Because in this case when deg=191.25 it will return “N”. 😁
