Wind Gauge

Post by William Grimsley »

Hi there,

Is it possible to change the wind gauge range at start up of Cumulus? Currently, the wind gauge in Cumulus changes from a wind speed range of 0 - 100 mph at start up to 0 - 50 mph after Cumulus has downloaded the data. Is it possible to change the wind speed range at the start up of Cumulus to 0 - 50 mph?

Thanks,

William

Yes, that's set to 50 mph. I want Cumulus to start up set to 50 mph, too.

William, are you just concerned with the few seconds between Cumulus starting and the the first data packet being downloaded? Does it really matter? It would be once a month for me, and even then I don't stare at the app as it restarts.

Well, I have to restart Cumulus quite a bit, at the moment. But, I suppose it doesn't matter... :roll:
