ws-1090 barometer
« on: November 17, 2012, 04:35:00 PM »
Hi I'm have trouble setting the pressure on my ws-1090. When I set the current pressure it will ether drop to far or it will climb to far I know the pressure will not be the same as other stations but mine is not even close. I think it has some thing to do with where I have the receiver I have it by my lap top to transmit to weather underground.com. So can you tell me what I can try? Thanks.

Is that part of the house closed up and sealed tight? Heating/AC ducts or vents nearby?  Maybe try other places throughout the house (for hours at a time) that might have better air flow? Since the barometer is inside the console, it doesn't matter if you have contact with the outside sensors so you can place it anywhere to experiment.  :?:

Just set up WS 1090 and am sending updates to Wunderground, however, Wunderground is calculating my inHG differently than my display on WS1090. 
I am using Cumulus software to view my data.  Thanks for any insight those with experience may have to offer.

Are you using Cumulus to also upload to WU?

Is this of any help? http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ#Cumulus_doesn.E2.80.99t_show_the_same_pressure_as_my_Fine_Offset_console

Yes I am using Cumulus to upload to WU as well.  The Ambient console display is NOT what Cumulus indicates. Thank you for that tip from Cumulus :D that helps!
