== Changing from Cumulus 1 to MX ==
=== Station connections ===
If your weather station used a port to connect to Cumulus 1, that port was set on the settings screen as a number and stored in Cumulus.ini in the station section as '''Port=n'''. In Cumulus MX, as it runs on various operating systems, the port is specified using text (instead of a number), again you select it within settings, on '''Station settings''' screen, but that is stored within Cumulus.ini in the station section as '''Comport=tttttttt'''. If your old number was '''3''', and you are still using Windows, the new setting would have value of '''COM3''', for other devices it might be '''/dev/ttyUSB0'''.
===web pages ===
If you have been using the Cumulus 1 supplied web pages, you will find they do not work with MX, there is a new set provided with MX that work slightly differently. Cumulus 1 uploads a number of images, these include a couple of images that combined show the moon phase, and a number of graphs (used on Cumulus 1 trends page). Cumulus MX does not upload any images (prior to Release 3.5.0, from then on it uploads a moon phase image), instead it uploads a series of '''.json''' files that hold time and value pairs that can be used to draw graphs. The gauges page provided with MX is based on Mark's implementation of steel series, so it is different to the old "Web Dashboard Components for FreeWX and FreeWX-Wi " that Cumulus 1 used. The other web pages look the same, and indeed are effectively functionally same.
