Cumulus assumes a certain level of weather station functionality. It checks that it has received data from a number of sensors (e.g. pressure, outside temperature, wind) before it starts periodic calculations, logging, uploading to the web, or drawing graphs. This is an attempt to make sure that bad data is not logged. If your weather station is not fully functional, you will not be able to use Cumulus fully. | {{Version badge 1}}Cumulus assumes a certain level of weather station functionality. It checks that it has received data from a number of sensors (e.g. pressure, outside temperature, wind) before it starts periodic calculations, logging, uploading to the web, or drawing graphs. If any of these stop, the previous value will be substituted, for up to 6 readings, then Cumulus 1 will stop working correctly. The reading interval depends on weather station being used, but Cumulus will always read at least once a minute, so it can keep going for just 6 minutes. | ||

You can over-ride the start up check by adding a line to the [Station] section of [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|cumulus.ini]], thus: ''NoSensorCheck=1'' | You can over-ride the start up check by adding a line to the [Station] section of [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|cumulus.ini]], thus: ''NoSensorCheck=1'' | ||
