I am finding the the rain fall is reading a bit on the low side. I changed the setting so that it now runs from 9am to 9am instead of midnight to midnight. I be able to see what rain we had over a 24 hour period without getting up and checking at midnight.
I want to test the RX board with a Linux computer running WeeWX weather software. I am still building up a second RX board so that I don't have to bring down the system.
I checked the distance from the transmitter to the receiver. It's 18.5m and the signal has to travel through a metal shed then through 3 rooms that have solid timber walls. All I am using for the antennas are 2 164mm bits of cable that I pulled out of lenght of cat6 network cable.
