Misol rain gauge tipping bucket rain amount
-
Has someone measured what amount of rain one "tip" of the tipping bucket of the MISOL rain gauge corresponds to? It would be great to know so I can calibrate my scripts.
EDIT: I found this article that suggests it should be 0.0161 inches which is 0.40894 mm.
EDIT2: Another source is suggesting 0.2794 mm.
EDIT3: packetrat is suggesting 83.82 pulses per inch which should be 0,303030303 mm

This guy:

have calculated it to 0.2794 mm per tip.

@hek Thanks! I just saw that while editing my first post. It sounds a little bit low.

Maybe you should do some tests to see if it is looks resonable.

I let 1126-202 grams water slowly flow into the 55 cm2 gauge and it generated 475 tips.
That gives me 0.3537 mm/tip. I'll go with that.

What script did you use to test Misol Rain Gauge tipping bucket.
Finding a tutorial/testing for it proves to be difficult i'm not sure where to put the red and green wires into as well
