SteelSeries Gauges rain rate problem

[davide verdicchio]

I have a problem with the SteelSeries Gauges 2.7.6 application. On the rain rate graph it says mm but the measurement is in inches. How can I solve the problem?

So which one is correct? If the plots are correct what are you using to generate gauge-data.txt?

The rain rate indicator and graph is in inch/hr but in reality it should be mm/h!

I'm sorry but it is still not clear to me what the exact issue is. I've opened the image from your original post on a better screen and as far as I can see the gauge shows rain rate in mm/hr, the labels across the top of the plot show rain rat win mm/hr but the y-axis label of the plot seems to show in/hr. Is the problem only the y-axis label being in in/hr? Do the rain rate values show on the gauge and in the plot correctly as mm values or as inch values? (ie does the gauge indicate 5mm/hr when in fact the actual rain rate is 5mm/hr or does the gauge show 5mm/hr when in fact the actual rain rate is 5in/hr)

Finally, what are you using to generate the gauge-data.txt? Have you installed the skin direct from the SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges repo or did you install the weewx-steelseries extension ? In either case could you please post a copy of the [StdReport] [[SteelSeries]] stanza from weewx.conf along with a copy of the skin config file, skin.conf, from the skins/ss directory. (note the location of the skins directory will depend on your WeeWX version and how you installed WeeWX - refer to Where to find things in the User's Guide for your particular WeeWX version).
