Hi,
I have just recently got MX working again on the PI and then my rain gauge stopped working just days afterwards. Problem traced to spiders making their home in the gauge, cleaned out, ran some water through and it ticked away merrily. I then went back to the laptop, where MX was already running, saw all the pointers seemed to update whilst I watched in 'gauges' page, except noting recorded by the rainfall gauge. A quick refresh of the screen and my missing rain appeared. Is this a known issue?
Other than that - all playing nicely.

Re: MX delay in getting rain to rainfall gauge
Not a known issue, and the data for the gauges is separate from the page and is pulled afresh every update. If the other values had changed, then it was getting the data from the transmitter - the FineOffset stations only update every 48 seconds of course, if it maybe missed a transmission you'd be into double that. I have no other explanation.

Re: MX delay in getting rain to rainfall gauge
Oh well, thanks.
I was just surprised to see the wind direction change a few times, but none of the rain appearing at all, from my test and it was around ten minutes between poring the water through, climbing down the ladder, putting it away, overalls and boots off, to being back in front of the laptop. Never mind, it is not a big problem.
