I want to test the accuracy of my PeetBros raingauge, and how it works with WD.
Anyone an idea how to simulate a 500 mm ‘rainshower’?
Take off the cover…
Move the seesaw up and down.
You might want to figure out how much each tip of the seesaw is… then you can do an exact count of tips.

There is a document describing how to test the Pro rain gauge at this URL:

It’s possible that there is a problem with the wiring to the rain gauge. I had to re-do the wire connections on my tipping bucket gauge from Peet. They’d managed to twist one pair at the insulation rather than the bare wire.

Yep… I noticed that they used very short wires.
