What is the new setting for Culumus MX? It is currently set to 1.5 but 1.5 doesn't show up on the list?

0 = 0.1 inch
1 = 0.01 inch
2 = 0.2 mm
3 = 1 mm
4 = 'other' inch
5 = 'other' mm

Where did you found those settings in Cumulus MX?

Oh I see. Further down it says

"RainMult=1 Multiplier by which measured Rainfall (and therefore rainfall rate too) is to be corrected (default=1). "

So the default is "1". But what is 1? LOL

From the cumulus forum, Steve said "Cumulus takes the rate supplied by the console and applies the configured multiplier to it."

Tx1 is set to send .254mm so the setting should be 1?

Cumulux MX

Settings -> Calibration Settings -> Multipliers -> Rainfaill

Multiplier = Bucket Type / 0.2 - Yours is a 0.01"=0.254mm
Multiplier = 0.254 / 0.2 = 1.27

Weather stations send to the software the number of tips occurred, not a value. With a multiplier of 1, Cumulus counts each tip as 0.2mm of rain (default for metric Davis weather stations), so for a 0.254 rain gauge a multiplier of 1.27 is needed.

OK, I'm going to put that in a text file and stick it in my weatherduino folder for future reference! Thanks!
