Lux display

Post by adrianj »

Cumulus 1.94 build 1099

Its a really bright sunny day here, and just noticed that the lux reading down the bottom of the main display shows 25222.0 lux, Solar radiation of 989 w/m2.

Using the conversion of 0.0079 lux to w/m2 backwards shows the lux reading should be 125222.0, ie the leading 1 overflows the space available.

Only a minor issue, as its pretty obvious, but maybe could be fixed sometime.

It must be something to do with your screen resolution or your font/DPI settings. I've tried it on my PC and it displays OK:

I tried to accommodate various settings in Cumulus 1 as far as I could, but there were limits to what I could do that would work in all cases, and sometimes some text does get hidden, as mentioned in the readme.txt. This is one reason for moving to a browser-based display in Cumulus MX.

Thanks Steve. Certainly I am using a laptop with a relatively small screen, and odd font settings. No problem. Probably the decimal point on the lux number is a bit overkill for such a big number FWIW.
