Solar Data and Max solar data out of sync

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Solar Data and Max solar data out of sync

Post by StormCapture »

I also have MX running on a Win 7 laptop for the moment until an adaptor arrives fro my Pi so it can have Internet connection, going to have a VP attached it to also use WD.

As I'm browsing through the records I've noticed the solar and max solar data are out of sync with each other by at least 3 1/2 hours, any cause of this why it's out and not parallel?

Possible causes I can think of...
1. Time Zone not set correctly.
2. Site longitude not set correctly.
3. 'Major' tilt of your solar sensor!

Shouldn't be any of them
- Timezone set to Adelaide (+9:30)
- longitude and latitude copied from Cumulus 1.9.4 so it's exact (well a couple metres up the road)
- solar sensor is straight

Didn't have this problem with 1.9.4

I'll have a closer look to see if it does the same on the Pi
