Rainfall rate graphic does not update

I'm using latest Cumulus version, and easyweather.dat file.

Since two days the rainfall rate graphic is always with a line at zero point. It was worked nicelly before, even with this latest version. I have checked the easyweather.dat file and the rainfall rate data is there.
Any sugestion? a bug?

Where does the easyweather.dat data come from - Easyweather, or created by some other means? Please attach an example showing the problem.

The easyweather.dat file is created by an Arduino. The rainfall rate data is present on the file, I have checked that.
I post two images, hope they help to see the problem. Today rainfall rate has ploted only one time (13:00)

Thanks for your attention.

That doesn't really help. I need to see an example of the file where you think it should be showing a rain rate so that I can investigate the reason for it not showing a rain rate.

You could also turn on the debug log, then the debug.log file would show all the data that Cumulus has read. Perhaps it didn't get to read the files with the rain rates in them before they were overwritten?

This is an important clue!!! I think you can be right, possibly the data is overvritten, before Cumulus can read it. I will investigate this possibility and report back.

Many thanks for this clue.
