Omid,

Thanks for the headsup on the displays!

It looks like the "calibration" is not quite accurate as the yellow zone on the tach doesn't start until 8000 RPM and the red zone doesn't start until 8500 RPM - I assume that you set the limits lower for demonstration purposes only?

It is available in the current release 0.9.12.

There are too different type of limits. There is the gauges colors and then there is the alert. The rings around are the alert; but I guess you would want to set the alert to match the gauge.
I do have them too low so I don't redline the car sitting there.

Very nice. I would assume it's the protege in the video. Doesn't sound like a perf. port rotary. Let alone a 3 rotor.

Yup, it's the protege.

David,

Just downloaded 0.9.12 and installed it. It interrogates the ECU and starts reading the VE/Constants, the ECU Status starts running and then the program dies and give a message that it has encoutered a problem and needs to close.

HP pavillion Laptop, AMD64, 1GB RAM, XP Pro...

Any suggestions?

Kirk

what ECU firmware??

IS this running windows, or linux ,and if windows is it a 64 bit version? (I have NO WAY to test on 64 bit boxes)

Sorry David, I guess I did not give enough information. MS-I (PCBA v2.2, ECU version 8.1), loaded up v29 of MSnS-extra. XP Pro is the OS and 0.9.11 ran just fine before I upgraded.

I guess that brings another question to my mind, should I have uninstalled the previous version before doing the upgrade? If it doesn't matter, do the COM port settings get retained during the upgrade?

David,

Uninstalling and removing all the old directories and files, then reinstalling got it up and running. I'll get to work on the alert ranges and post back comments.

Thanks for the updates and new features!

Yeah, forgot to mention that uninstall of the old is necessary, as the file formats changed slightly.

The scalable dash - very nice and cool to have...it has allowed me to run different resolutions and sizes of monitors to see what monitor/resolution cobination works best in the race car!

Alert ranges are easy to implement and understand, thanks for the tweak!

Still got some more work to do on some gauges - I'll send you an update after I am done, should you want them.
