Hi

Could someone please advise the rain gauge that came standard with the WM-918 Weather station, I have converted to 1 Wire. What Tip setting would I use in the 1 Wire setup page in WD

Thanks

John,
Welcome to the WD BB. I believe it’s 1 mm (0.04"). Someone who actually owns one will hopefully verify this for me.

you could also increase the collection size of the funnel, and get to a smaller tip size (and then tick that smaller tip amount in the dallas 1 wire setup)
note that you dont just double the width of the funnel to get 2x the area,
you need to use an area of a circle (is it 2 pie r or pie r squared?)
