WS80 spike/hang

Post by HansR »

Just had again (after a year or so) another spike and a hang on the wind reading of the WS80.
Took the moment to take it down, clean it and install the new firmware. Hope the new firmware helps against this type of malfunction, it takes me (after discovery) some two hours to take it down, install/clean and take it up again. In winter at Bf 5 that is not funny. Fortunately it was some +10 deg and not -10!

One remark: one year outside really makes it filthy with a lot of spiders and birdshit.
Might be a cause as well as all that biosphere no doubt changes the behaviour of the ultrasone device.
