Hi

Thanks for making the converter. I've run against my Weatherlink files and copied them into my data directory on mi rasppi. I've updated dayfile.txt with extra data. I amended the cumulus.ini with the start date of my data 01 March 2019.

My problem is that my historic data has not updated - all time and monthly records. I don't doubt that I've done something amiss but any help?

Hi

Thanks for the converter, I have managed to move all the wlk files to cumulus txt format and copied all the lines to the dayfile.txt, and changed the start date to 09/04/2004 so that it picks up the data.

The data is there because it does the NOAA reports well, however some functions like maxima or graphs for those months are not working, also the monthYYYYYYYMM.ini files have not been created, which I think may be what is creating the problems.

Any ideas?

Hi,
Upgrading from cumulusmx v3 to v4 solved the problems, but I have realised that the converter didn´t coverted any rain data
This is a basic dato so any ideas about how to solve this?

Wow, old post!

There is a new converter in the works. I intend to release it after I finish work on the next Cumulus release.
