No, sorry, I can't sit here downloading and assembling a file from single entries. If you believe there is a problem, you will need to provide a log of a complete sequence of the easyweather.dat entries that have been given to Cumulus, that can then be compared with the graph and the Cumulus log entries. You can't just give me a single entry, I have nothing to compare it with. There should really be some logging of entries in Cumulus, but this whole input method is deprecated and not really supported any more.

I tried feeding your file with 'NNE' in it into Cumulus, and it decoded it as 22 degrees, NNE.

I've just uploaded the first 1.9.4 beta. This has the check for 'EES' and also logs easyweather.dat entries to debug.log, when the debug log is turned on. See https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9433

Thanks - sorry, but could you do that again, please, with the new build, with the debug log turned on, and let me have the debug.log file for the same period, and also the February log file?

I suspected what was happening when I saw your log file.

2/28/2013 14:13:56.255 : Offsets and Multipliers:
2/28/2013 14:13:56.255 : PO=0.00 TO=0.00 HO=0 WDO=60 ITO=0.00

You've configured a wind direction offset of 60 degrees. So it's hardly surprising that your readings are coming out as they are. :roll:

unbelievable! i did setup that setting 2 months ago, and i forgot it because i check the measures nearly every day and i never noticed an 60' fault angle! i was thinking it was wokring grat until today, its sure my fault, but for sure it was that, i changed to 0 and now it is working great! thank you on that and sorry for your time loss.
