Rain gauge counting double events about 80% of the time (and triple otherwise)

[fluxion-t]

When using https://makecode.microbit.org, adding the weatherbit extension and looking at how rain (in inches) increases as the tipping bucket performs single events, I have noticed that, if I divide the rain measurement by 0.011, I observe that most of the events trigger a +2 in the reading, while about 15-20% I register +3. Never +1 as I would expect.

Unfortunately, I can't help with the code, since I don't know TS.

I have tried with 3 different weather stations and 3 different microbit cards, so the problem is quite reproducible.

These readings are obtained regardless of the bucket's speed or if it bounces a little or not.

Changing the baud rate did not have any effect.

From the SparkFun forum, it seems that this is a case of switch bounce, which can be filtered by code.

Could you please fix this?

Thank you.

I have not tested whether the other reed relays (wind direction and speed) suffer from the same issue.
