Problem Rain Peet Bros Ultimeter 2100

How can I show you?

How come it brings 175mm rain today and also old rain 175mm, yesterday it did not rain and today only 4.8mm

Current data 21:03:30: Temperature= 12.0 Windspeed =8.1 Gustspeed =9.1 Direction =320 Humidity=92 Barometer=1011.9 Daily Rain=4.8
*****Received count =  ----------------------------->  59
Found !!
raw baro 1011.9
Short data length 4 4 6 0
rain =175.0
new rain =175.0
old rain =175.0
Data OK

Yesterday I had to give this command on the terminal for another application:
sudo apt-get update
Is it possible that caused the problem?

old rain is the previous rain total prior to the latest
what I need to see is when that increases (i,e when you get a new rain tip)

Ok, as soon as it rains and take the rain gauge, I tell you what value the program is processing.

Hi Brian,
I’m back home now, today it rained and the station console scores 3.30mm, the program has only processed 0.1mm.

How can I see when the millimeter has snapped on the console coming back?

I need to see the raw rain debug info from the console when the rain total increased

Unfortunately, the scroll does not make me go back to see the shot of the rain when it started to rain.

I have to wait for it to come back and I’m home.

Hello Finally I got a peck when the program started to read the rain, today it’s 1.3mm up to now, and the program only took 0.1mm a little while ago, I remind you that my station is a peet bros ultimiter 2100, underneath there is the part of the console when the rain has started in the program I hope it’s what you asked me.

What I do not understand and why the file that you sent me two weeks ago ', marked the rain, correctly and now he is defeated?!?
Sorry for my poor English but I help with google.

it looks like it was *10 too small

Ok just replaced, the next rain will update you. Thank you so much

Hi Brian,
this night it rained again, (we are lucky for now so we can test the program), the console station marks 0.25mm, while the program has read 0.1mm, I think there is to fix only the resolution of the rain shot.
Would you like to send by chance the configuration I had on windows about the rain, can you help?

that latest test program should be *10 higher amount that before
are you sure you actually using it?

I’m sure to use it because before, even if the console marked 0.25mm it did not rain in the program but it did, after it rained more.
While this night has just rained and 0.25mm has been taken on the console, the program has immediately received the rain, only that it shows 0.1mm instead of 0.25mm why? (The program at every rainfall should indicate 0.3mm etc…)

In this post you see on February 8th, you sent me a version of the program, where rain seemed to work.

can you post a screen shot of how you had the ultimeter rain gauge settings set in the windows version?

Certainly Yes, of course, here is the image of the setting on the windows of the rain.

OK, it looks like you have rain in inches coming through (i.e not a metric rain gauge)
I will have to use that in the code

No I in the file config.txt I set as rain unit 'METRIC in mm even on windows I measured the rain in mm, not in inches.

the metric setting in the config.txt is just to set to show metric units
that is all
that is not the same thing as having set in the windows version that you have a metric ultimeter rain gauge (which you did not have ticked)
the other thing is that it looks like you are not using complete record mode now?
that has confused me

try a new update
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/consolewdtest.zip

I’m installing this new update and see if it reads the rain correctly, as it reads on the station console.

What do you mean by complete registration? Pay the program?
The one on windows has been bought. I asked you, how much this cost if I had to buy it 2 weeks ago. Let me know.

Good morning Brian,
finally the program is back to read every single shot of rain in a perfect way.

[u]I am still waiting for the revelation of the mm/h data that is not communicated on the clientraw file of the program.

And let me know how to get the full version of the program.[/u]

for the rain rate
