Re: New "digital" Rain instrument
Hi
The EL-USB-5 is a stand alone data logger which needs to be plugged into the PC periodically not a continuous method of transferring the data.
The DLP108G is an A/D converter running all the time - link below.

I have now moved the flat roof RG-11 so that it is adjacent to the manual gauge in a more sheltered position at ground level. The effect of strong winds was causing the unit to record about double the actual rainfall.
Regards
Alan

Look forward to hearing your updated results - typical though - not much rain in the UK now compared to late.apenwith wrote: I have now moved the flat roof RG-11 so that it is adjacent to the manual gauge in a more sheltered position at ground level.

Re: New "digital" Rain instrument
Does anyone know another online shop where I can buy this sensor?
Im also interested in the 1-wire idea, but I dont get it how it works.

Watching weather in Florida via Fine Offset. Attached is some "stuff" via the Fine Offset.
Here in the midwest I am set up with the two RG-11's adjacent to each other. No rain in immediate forcast in the midwest.

Re: New "digital" Rain instrument
Mine arrived today. Ordered last Monday. No customs to pay, it was hanging out the letter box.
Nothing inside about the offer for the "free" one. Where did you guys find this offer?

Re: New "digital" Rain instrument
Getting a bit of rain today.
I have debug enabled and wondering where I am to look for my counts?
Graphing increments on both the 1-wire connected RG-11 and the Cumulus RG-11
