-Configuring the Cumulus software for an WeatherDuino weather station is mainly the same than configuring it for a Davis VP2, except in one detail, the use of the multipliers. Here we will try to explain their use and the reason why they must be set. For any other aspect of the Cumulus software configuration, consulte the [[http://sandaysoft.com/forum/|Cumulus support forum]].+Configuring the Cumulus software for WeatherDuino weather station is mainly the same as configuring it for a Davis VP2, except in one detail, the use of the multipliers.\\

For standard 1mph wind resolution, there is no need to change the Cumulus default multiplier (1.0).\\+Depending on the selected wind speed resolution, multipliers for Wind Speed and Wind Gust must be set accordingly.
