Rainfall on Fine Offset ws3083 using build 3101

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Rainfall on Fine Offset ws3083 using build 3101

Post by BrunswickWeather »

As it happens infrequently on my Fine Offset( ws3083), today I had to remove the batteries after a lockup. Cumulus MX did show the rainfall for today 0.6mm before the reset but not after. My roll over is at 9am. Cumulus 1 showed 0.6mm before and after. (I run both programs but only one at a time).

Yes I did edit the rainfall on Cumulus MX to add 0.6mm after I found this.
This has not happened before.

ok that doesn't tell me anything much other that the catch-up is working and showing 6.3 mm of rain since midnight, and 0.6 mm today.

The run is stopped immediately after the archive catch up. I would have expected to see the first data read from the station produce a message about the rain counter being reset. Did you see the value go to zero on the dashboard at this point?
