Hi Mark
The wind gust / speed and direction is updated on the screen at each 5 seconds.
Turn ON the relay data function
and check if the TX led on your Pro2 PLUS receiver blinks at 5 secs or less intervals. If this don't happen, check if the TX unit is not too close to the receiver unit, also check your antennas.
TX units should always have an antenna attached to the output.
There isn't any remote access capability, the WiFi module is used just to sync time with NTP servers, and optionally upload data to Wunderground.
Yes, you should do it in your Config_TX user configurable settings:
There is also another important setting that you should configure in Cumulus:
Rainfall settings
Adjust the Cumulus multiplier according to this formula:
Multiplier = Bucket Type / 0.2
So, in your case for an imperial Davis rain gauge:
Multiplier = 0.254 / 0.2 = 1.27
Quote:One thing I have noticed is the data update rate to the screen. Is the wind speed and wind direction capable of being updated faster? It takes some 20 or 30 sec..I havent measured it but it seems that long

Quote:Also now the unit is internet capable is there any way to remotely log into it to get to the data as well as watching on Wundergound

Another thing my Davis rain gauge says on the inside 0.01 inch. I take it that is the measurement for rain. In the setup you say to set to 200 which is 0.2mm. This scale is wrong can I change this parameter to make it correct? It would be 245 wouldnt it?Yes, you should do it in your Config_TX user configurable settings:
Code:

/*
Use 0.300 for standard FineOfset rain gauges (Datasheet value = 0.2794)
Use 0.200 for standard metric Davis rain gauges
Use 0.254 for standard imperial Davis rain gauges
