Where to edit rain values

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Where to edit rain values

Post by millguy »

My rain values are wrong in my dashboard. The todays rain is correct, but monthly and yearly are wrong. It happened this morning. Everything was ok yesterday. But now I'm off by several inches. If I go to edit and todays rain, the values there are correct.
Where do I change the values so things are right again?
Thanks for any help.

As with Cumulus 1, the totals are derived from the daily totals in dayfile.txt, plus today's total - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#My_mon ... _are_wrong

There is no dayfile.txt editor in MX yet, so you will need to stop MX and edit dayfile.txt manually.
