WeatherTracker Programing Question

[George Handley]

Dean,

This sounds fantastic, but please explain what the differences between the one hour rolling rain rate and the top of the hour rain rate is.

I can't wait to play with it.

Thank you so much,

George

You stated you're presently using Rain Rate to discern whether there is a .06 reading to synthetically calculate the Hourly Rate on the console, further stating that a reading of .06 in this variable will represent the tipping of the cup once. I'm wondering why a reading from that particular variable of .01 wouldn't do the job? Perhaps you're telling me that it will never work that way.

Even when the light is already on and it begins raining, the off script will turn it off if I can denote when it is just beginning to rain. That's what I figured "Rain Rate" should do.

I must be blind as I can not find any programming information on your site for WeatherTracker. I printed out your dictionary from the script editor, and can't find a command called Rain Hour.
