New Cumulus User - APRS problem?

Post by wxperson »

Hi,

I just started using Cumulus about 1 week ago and wanted to try the APRS upload capability.

All is working fine except when cumulus says the humidity is 100% it is being understood by all software that the humidity is 10%. The raw data shows that 100% is reported in a different column than the 97%.

K4MET>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,CWOP-1:@210746z3357.11N/08425.26W_000/000g000t026r000P000h97b10198eCumulusDsVP

Is there a fix to this problem?

Thanks,

George

PS.. I see the option that says report 98% humidity as 100% but was not sure that this would correct it. What if the humidity is really 100%

It's supposed to send '00' for 100%. I knew this perfectly well (it's in the comments in the Cumulus code!) so why I didn't actually implement it is anyone's guess. I'll fix it in the next build.
