Hi,
I recently bought a SkyWeather kit. Yesterday I completed the assembly and testing guide (SkyWeather Assembly and Testing Guide v1.7). Everything is working, except rain bucket (wind speed and direction is working as expected). Total rainfall was always zero, despite moving rain gauge quite a lot.
I have checked if it's wired correctly twice. Today I was playing (checking different positions) with reed sensor in the rain gauge and found out that if I move reed sensor a little bit (1-2mm) in the right side (looking from magnet side - picture bellow) rain bucket is working fine (Total rain fall is changing when I move rain gauge).

I can do some modifications to rain gauge, but I still wonder what is the reason for this behavior?
I will be grateful for any help you can provide.
Best regards,
Ales
