Error sushine hours

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. 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).

Hello, in summer it seems that my hours of sunshine are fine, but in winter they are not, what is the problem?

Have you calibrated your theoretical value (Bras in this case) for winter and summer readings by comparing its graph plot against the sensor value?

Ideally you need to do this mid-summer and mid-winter (so now) to adjust the turbidity factors for the two extremes.

You need clear cloudless days to perform the calibration and get nice plots. Around mid-day tweak the turbidity factor for Decemeber until your sensor reading is a few percent below the theoretical value.

Hello, I don't know how to do that, although I will investigate it, even so if you give me a suggestion I would welcome it.
