Yes, seems to be an old problem.
I wonder how people using a Vaisala WXT520 has made it work without
crashing.
The code, in the driver, that I think is an issue, is probably this,
however I am not a python programmer, so I have no idea how to fix it:
* 537 @staticmethod 538 def _delta_rain(rain, last_rain):
539 if last_rain is None: 540 loginf("skipping rain
measurement of %s: no last rain" % rain) 541 return None
542 if rain < last_rain: 543 loginf("rain counter
wraparound detected: new=%s last=%s" % 544 (rain,
last_rain)) 545 return rain 546 return rain -
last_rain*
