New "digital" Rain instrument

[apenwith]

Hi
The EL-USB-5 is a stand alone data logger which needs to be plugged into the PC periodically not a continuous method of transferring the data.
The DLP108G is an A/D converter running all the time - link below.

I have now moved the flat roof RG-11 so that it is adjacent to the manual gauge in a more sheltered position at ground level. The effect of strong winds was causing the unit to record about double the actual rainfall.

Look forward to hearing your updated results - typical though - not much rain in the UK now compared to late.

If you go to the original link it lists all the online retailers.

For 1-wire help try here.
They also have a forum.

Mine arrived today. Ordered last Monday. No customs to pay, it was hanging out the letter box.

Nothing inside about the offer for the "free" one. Where did you guys find this offer?

Just had a PM back from Hydreon,

Thanks for ordering an RG-11.

We discontinued the free RG-11 with pictures a couple months ago.

Hi
I must have just been lucky - mine was bought early May - must be one of the last 'seconds'.

Or the company has just simply decided to cancel that offer as there were/have been enough purchases...
