Last Rain Gauge Tip

[actioman]

I take this topic to put my question, because it is similar.

Two days ago I noticed that in my website, Cumulus reported that my weather station had precipitation. (I use the 'AJAX/PHP multilingual website templates' from Ken True)
At first I thought it was some failure of the code templates. Then I looked the Cumulus files and I discovered in the 'today.ini' that my last rain was being reported with the following data:

[Rain]
High=0
HTime=00:00
Start=381,600006103516
Yesterday=0
HourlyHigh=0
HHourlyTime=00:00
LastTip=2011-04-14 02:04

But my real last time it rained was 2011-03-29 06:45, like you can see here:

29-03-11;06:40;11,9;97;11,4;0,3;3,6;303;0,0;1,8;1019,5;381,3;19,7;69;0,0;11,9;11,9;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,3;0;0,0
29-03-11;06:45;11,9;97;11,4;0,3;3,6;314;3,6;2,1;1019,4;381,6;19,7;69;0,0;11,9;11,9;0,0;0;0,00;0,00;12,3;0;0,0

From what I read here it seems to me that the solution will be in the files inside the 'Diags' folder.

Is that on the date that appears last rain, I had a problem in the PC and it has lost communication with the USB port. Been several hours without updating the data. I then close the Cumulus and change USB port.

How can I fix this error? Is there any way to manually edit a file and put back the correct date?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, if the station's rain counter changes, for whatever reason, then the 'last rain date' will be set.

Yes, just edit the date in today.ini, with Cumulus stopped.

Amazing! So simple and effective! It works just fine!

Thank you Steve!
