Cumulus Rain problems
I am using a WH1081 Weather Station, the problems I am having is that Cumulus counts that it is raining even though it is not raining and the WH1081 Weather Station does not show that it has rained
At the moment the Display Units says 0.00 Inches
and the Cumulus Displays Rain Rate 0.02 Inches and h/r at 16:12
So Please can any one tell me what I need to do to stop this error this has happened mostly every day now.
Many Thanks for any Help / Information
Regards
Michael.

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
You're quoting a time, so I assume the display you're talking about is the rain rate in the 'recent extremes' for today? Are any of the other rain values showing anything? A screen shot would be good. Is your rain rate graph showing anything?
When did you start Cumulus up?

Hi Steve, Thank you for replying back to me.

In the Rainfull list they are all 0.00

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
That's great, thanks. It's a bit odd that your graphs only go back to 15:50 today, particularly if you started Cumulus at 10:12. And you have a minimum pressure today of 0 mb. And no 'yesterday' values. Lots of very odd things. I wonder if it's the 'close just before midnight' bug? When did you close down yesterday? What version of Cumulus are you using?
Could you please attach your Jan09log.txt, today.ini and yesterday.ini files? If you have problems attaching them in the forum, email them to steve@sandaysoft.com
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
Sorry I forgot to say that I deleted all the old History I now it was a silly thing to do. But I wanted to see if it would still do the Rain problem that I am having.steve wrote:That's great, thanks.

I will send you the files.

Well that at least probably explains the other odd values.M1DUL wrote:Sorry I forgot to say that I deleted all the old History I now it was a silly thing to do. But I wanted to see if it would still do the Rain problem that I am having.
It's strange, every now and then you do get a rain rate figure from nowhere without the rain counter changing. I wonder if it's a rounding error because you are using inches... but I know a few others are using inches with a Fine Offset... is anyone else seeing this problem?

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
Thanks, Harry - and you're using inches too, so if it were a rounding error I'd expect you to see it too.
Michael, are you using a rain multiplier on the calibration screen?

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
OK, thanks. Have you had any more of the spurious rain rates? If so, please could I have your jan09log.txt file again, so I can see if there's a pattern.M1DUL wrote:I have not changed anything in the calibration screen I have just had a look at it and

I'm putting a bit more debugging for the rain rate into the next build which I'll be uploading shortly.

I saw the 1800 one, so please wait until it does it again. I should have the new build with the extra debugging ready soon.

Re: Cumulus Rain problems
OK Thanks Steve, I will wait until it does it again. I was using one of the longer USB leads with a USB connector at one end and a USB plug at the other end. I have now changed it over to the one what came with it see if I still get the same problem.steve wrote:I saw the 1800 one, so please wait until it does it again.

I will keep you posted I will look forward to the new build.
