What if i modify bucket tip to 0.25mm, then rainrate will be wrong or right on Cumulus main page and in log files :?:
I did that to my Oregon. Stuck a funnel on top of just the right size. You could then use the 'calibration' thing?
- battery status above () Error and () Records - there is nice space for that
Yes, that's where the Davis battery status goes. But it should be showing the battery status for Oregon stations too, I'll have to investigate.
- extra sensor support ( max 3 ) and ability to choose "primary one" ( showing them where Davis has ET/UV/Solar now and ability to change titles for them )
Yes, it was my intention to support extra sensors for Davis and OS, but I was going to leave it until version 2. But I guess now that I've made space...
- Would be cool to simply add amount of rain manually and logs/daily stats would automatically sum it up. ( Rain add-on in Edit menu.. )
:roll:
Add an amount? For a particular day, or what?

Yes, but the rain rate showed on Cumulus will be software calculated or just a number received from the conzole?

For me the current day is ok... :roll:

Software calculated.

I remembered what happened to the battery display for the WMR928 - I took it out when I got my Davis. The WMR928 gives 4 battery 'status' values, and I used to have 4 little bar gauges showing the status. I replaced that with the single display showing voltage for my Davis. I'll put something back in for the WMR928.

Have you tried the new WMR928 battery status display? Does it look sensible?
