Cumulus 1 does not show the solar radiation of WS3083

Hi,

I have had this station for a month or so and installed both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX today. Cumulus MX shows everything correctly but Cumulus 1 does not show the light sensor data on the main screen (I am NOT running them at the same time). I am using the Fine option with light sensor and I watched a video on YouTube with this same station where the light information is visible. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jose

Is it showing zero for the values, or is it just that you haven't selected "Display solar/extra data" in the display settings?

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the tip, that was it. I had not realized that the display is configurable but now that I selected it, it is showing correctly.

And congrats, your software is very nice and I will definitely contribute. I installed it on a £100 Atom Baytrail computer running Windows 10 and both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX run perfectly (although the month long initial load and data processing took a few minutes). We are offgrid and have very limited power (solar) and this PC only uses 4-8 W which is great.

Cheers,
Jose

Just a small point but you do realise you cannot run Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX at the same time?

I guessed so. The reason I tried both was because I could not get the light information in Cumulus 1 to start with. I am undecided to which I will end up using as I prefer desktop apps. But thanks for the heads up.

I would stick with MX, that is where the development is taking place. Cumulus 1 is no longer being developed or fixed.
