rscalc error

[s0161038]

Dear all,

I just reflashed my SD card after becoming read-only (LM4). After the recovery, I updated to firmware 20200720.

After restoring my backup I noticed the common rscalc function I use to check if the sun is up is not working any more on my system. 

Code:

function sun_is_up()

  -- returns number of minutes from 0:00 until sunrise and sunset
  latitude = 57
  longitude = 24.15
  log('gerund')
  sunrise, sunset = rscalc(latitude, longitude)

    date = os.date('*t')
    now = date.hour * 60 + date.min

    -- from 0:00 to sunrise
        if now < sunrise then
          alert('before sunrise')
    return false
    -- from sunset to 23:59
        elseif now > sunset then
          alert('after sunset')
    return false
        else
          alert('day')
    return true
        end
end

I always get the following error:


Common functions:7: attempt to call global 'rscalc' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

Does anybody have an idea what this is causing? 
Or does anybody know where the sourcecode of rscalc can be found to check what is going wrong?

thanks

You don't have in "Common functions" rscalc function. I've copied it from my LM (I don't know why, maybe it is not included in backup):

Code:

-- sunrise / sunset calculation
function rscalc(latitude, longitude, when)
  local pi = math.pi
  local doublepi = pi * 2
  local rads = pi / 180.0

  local TZ = function(when)
    local ts = os.time(when)
    local utcdate, localdate = os.date('!*t', ts), os.date('*t', ts)
    localdate.isdst = false

    local diff = os.time(localdate) - os.time(utcdate)
    return math.floor(diff / 60) / 60
  end

  local range = function(x)
    local a = x / doublepi
    local b = doublepi * (a - math.floor(a))
    return b < 0 and (doublepi + b) or b
  end

  when = when or os.date('*t')

  local y2k = { year = 2000, month = 1, day = 1 }
  local y2kdays = os.time(when) - os.time(y2k)
  y2kdays = math.ceil(y2kdays / 86400)

  local meanlongitude = range(280.461 * rads + 0.9856474 * rads * y2kdays)
  local meananomaly = range(357.528 * rads + 0.9856003 * rads * y2kdays)
  local lambda = range(meanlongitude + 1.915 * rads * math.sin(meananomaly) + rads / 50 * math.sin(2 * meananomaly))

  local obliq = 23.439 * rads - y2kdays * rads / 2500000

  local alpha = math.atan2(math.cos(obliq) * math.sin(lambda), math.cos(lambda))
  local declination = math.asin(math.sin(obliq) * math.sin(lambda))

  local LL = meanlongitude - alpha
  if meanlongitude < pi then
    LL = LL + doublepi
  end

  local dfo = pi / 216.45

  if latitude < 0 then
    dfo = -dfo
  end

  local fo = math.min(math.tan(declination + dfo) * math.tan(latitude * rads), 1)
  local ha = 12 * math.asin(fo) / pi + 6

  local timezone = TZ(when)
  local equation = 12 + timezone + 24 * (1 - LL / doublepi) - longitude / 15

  local sunrise, sunset = equation - ha, equation + ha

  if sunrise > 24 then
    sunrise = sunrise - 24
  end

  if sunset > 24 then
    sunset = sunset - 24
  end

  return math.floor(sunrise * 60), math.ceil(sunset * 60)
end

Thanks, just what i was missing.

Perfect

Good morning, I have the same problem, but I didn’t understand where the **rscalc** function needs to be copied.
