Hi,
Can you tell. Me weather the 0.2 and 0.3 tipping bucket corresponds to the amount of water it takes to tip the bucket.
IE 0.2= 2mls of water
0.3= 3mls of water.
I was just wondering about this as I have Timex TX6700 which was originally a wireless unit which I have converted to a simple reed switch setup. It has a 4" 100mm funnel and it takes 3.5mls of water to tip the bucket. I have used a syringe to measure and check this 35mls = 10 tips. This test was done several times to check that it was consistent
This would make this particular bucket setup a 0.35= 3.5mls and therefore, I imagine, would require a slight adjustment to the software
I have worked out for 20mm of rain that 157mls of water is required and at 3.5mls per tip it would take 44 tips to register this and correspond to 20mm of rain fall.
Can any one tell me if I am correct with these assessments
Regards
