Cumulus Support

Did I miss something or does Cumulus not send the rain fall to APRS/CWOP or is that not an option? As rain is not showing up when I run Cumulus with the APRS/CWOP turned on.

It sends 'rain in the last hour' and 'rain since midnight' to CWOP. It doesn't send 'rain in last 24 hours' as it doesn't track that.

My rain shows up: http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wx.cgi?call=DW0688. I'm afraid I have no idea why yours apparently doesn't. You'll need to look at the raw data to see what is being sent.

What I have noticed is that if you use an 0900/1000 daily rollover, it's still sending the rain since the rollover rather than 'rain since midnight'. I changed the wxnow.txt code but not the CWOP code. Perhaps that accounts for what you're seeing.

Guess that is what I needed is the 24hour rain as that data is what show up for Barberton Oh, in this link when I use VWSaprs and doesn't when I use Cumulus to send data : http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/gmap.p ... &density=1

This link is the data that is sent by Cumulus :http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wx.cgi?call=DW2323

This was is my problem:
VWSaprs was sending my data and it was placing the 24hour rain on the map but VWSaprs was interfering with a program called WXSIM and wouldn't let the forecast generate at the given time.
So I switch to Cumulus and the problem with WXSIM was fixed but I then discovered that the 24hour rain was not showing up on the map.

Tracking the rain in the last 24 hours would be quite a large change, so I'm afraid it's unlikely I'll be adding that now.

OK Steve thanks for taking a look..
