Re: Calibrating extra sensor and adding a display

Steve Thank you for the reply. Im putting the grass temperature sensor in my Stevenson screen to calibrate it against the air temperature sensor so i know it reads the same, then i can put the sensor above the grass knowing its reading correctly. Ok i will have a go at producing a database. Thank you.

Calibrating extra sensor and adding a display

Hi. I run Cumulus mx with a raspberry pi. Ive ticked the box to add an extra sensor which is measuring grass temperature. This is reading 2c lower than the normal displayed air temperature. How can i adjust the calibration offset to bring the grass temperature in line with the displayed air temperat...

Re: Rainfall continually counts after rain stopped

Steve

Thank you for the info. So cumulus is not at fault but my Instromet station. If so that's strange as i have replaced the datalogger, new pcb and rain gauge wiring and sensor, 3rd one now.

Re: Rainfall continually counts after rain stopped

Hi Steve

I attach the diags folder zip file, hope you receive it. I started the datalogging and debug logging around 19.00 yesterday 11th July. This is when it stopped raining and the readings increased even though no rain.

Hope you can find the problem.

Thanks

Rainfall continually counts after rain stopped

Hi I have an Instromet weather station and i have renewed the rain gauge wiring and sensor twice now as when it rains cumulus records the rainfall, but when the rain stops cumulus keeps counting sometimes as high as 839mm of rain. Im guessing there may be something wrong with cumulus and if so what ...

Re: Rainfall readings wont stop

Hi I have now installed a new rain sensor and seems to be working correctly and has fixed the problem of continuously reading. I have another problem. On my Cumulus rain display it reads, This Month: 391mm and This Year NaN mm. I have tried going into the ini files and reset them to 0 but the displa...

Re: Rainfall readings wont stop

Hi all

I still have the rain gauge problem. This morning checking my readings my rainfall amount was 445 mm and my manual rain gauge read 0.2. I have taken apart the rain gauge and all seems ok. I have updated cumulus to the new version. Im stuck now? Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: Rainfall readings wont stop

The raingauge has been working from the day i installed it. This is the first problem ive had. Im tempted now on upgrading to new version of cumulus mx and starting again. I do need to look at the rain gauge though and check the wires to make sure everything is ok.

Re: Rainfall readings wont stop

Hi Thank you for the reply. The rain gauge readings went haywire when it was raining. I only found out when i went to look at the temperature and the rainfall was 800mm and adding 4 mm every second. I have managed to stop the rain reading to 0.0 but all my files are messed up with wrong data and sho...
