Changing unit values

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Re: Changing unit values

Post by HansR »

if you don't care, just delete the whole thing and start again. When setting up the station (in the settings, management interface) you set the units. Make the correct choice.
You should make those unit choices only once, don't modify later because the datafiles won't change units.

If you are not sure, experiment a little, take a day or so. No harm will be done. When finished experimenting, throw the installation away and make youd definitive installation and setup. This way you can try and err before starting the operational install.

For procedures and other wisdom: see the forum (other can point you to the right threads) and the Wiki (Top right: Cumulus Documentation).
Good luck.
Hans
