[wxqc] AS712: Experiencing sensor problems

Fellow weather-watchers,

	I must apologize for the low quality of barometer and temp data from my station (AS712) over the past month or so. I've been tweaking calibration values all over the place, but I seem to be having little or no success correcting the problem.

	At this point, I'm suspecting sensor problems. I have contacted Rainwise support, and asked for warranty replacement of whatever parts will be needed to correct these issues.

	I will say that Rainwise recently sent me a replacement microcontroller, with updated station firmware, to correct a battery drain problem. The problems seem to have started within a week or two of my installing that chip, so I'm suspecting that there may have been other issues besides those associated with the battery.

	Please bear with me. I'm not sure how long it will take to get this corrected, but I'm not letting Rainwise worm out of their promised 5-year warranty even if I end up replacing the entire station! ;-)

	Thanks much.
