Discussion and questions about Cumulus weather station software version 1. This section is the main place to get help with Cumulus 1 software developed by Steve Loft that ceased development in November 2014.
Today I`ve been trying out this new version and found the problem under graphs menu.
When im trying to zoom in the wind graphs aplication simply crashes.
Also the wind average points are the same as wind direction points after restart of the program. Reading wrong line from logs?

Assuming you have a Fine Offset type station, it only stores one wind direction in the logger, so Cumulus simply displays that one twice. It could work out an average as it goes, I suppose; I can add that in a later release.

Yes, first clickling on small one then on big one click+down/right to zoom in and it crashes.

I'd forgotten it did that
and it crashes.
Works fine for me, on a Vista machine and an XP machine. Do you get a 'bug report' dialog? Could you send me the bug report (you'll have to save it then email it to me - steve@sandaysoft.com - I disabled the 'email' facility in 1.8.0).

Yes, I lied It's because Cumulus only saves one wind direction in its data files, and it uses that to populate the graphs at startup.
Thanks - I can reproduce that with the wind direction graph (same with the small one). TgT - is it the wind direction graph that causes you the problem?
I haven't seen mention in the changelogs, so I'll ask here: have you made any progress towards dumping out a WXNOW.txt file suitable for use by UI-View (and others I'd assume)? I'm basically not able to switch from WeatherLink until I get that functionality, but I'm monitoring here in hope it'll come, because I like almost everything else about Cumulus.
I tried to find one and failed. I was also in communication with Gerry Creager, who was going to help me, but some hurricanes came along and he had work to do!
Actual files are usually not posted anywhere, but I can see about rigging my setup to copy the one I generate with my WeatherLink add-in so that you can get at it directly.
