Hi guys,

Cumulus MX (v3.0.0 (3038)) on my Pi has suddenly gone a bit haywire for wind direction.  The average bearing seems to be okay, but the bearings swing wildy between set compass points.  See attached for detail.

Rebooted Pi, rebooted indoor unit, next to reboot is outdoor unit when I get up onto the roof, but from the set behaviour this looks like a Cumulus thing?

Thoughts?  Ideas?  Seen it before?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

I also note tonight your rainfall falling at an alarming rate :)

Are you using lithium batteries as that weather station model prefers them.
If not hopefully changing to them will iron out all issues.
