ShadowDash newbie question...

Post by hobieboy »

Just loaded ShadowDash & connecting it to a running MS3 was easy & all good so far but a few newbie questions:
1) I renamed a few generic sensors (Sensor 1 - 4) thru TS. How do I transfer these customization to ShadowDash so logging will show the field correctly?
2) I want to create a simplified dash when using ShadowDash in portrait format. I can create one via TS to start but standard TS is in Landscape mode. Any tips on how to start building a portrait dash?
3) Is there any way to tell ShadowDash to use the microSD on the tablet as opposed to main memory? There's a lot of room there.

thanks!

Those names are saved to the msq in, but not to the controller. If you copy your msq from TunerStudio to your Android device as:
/Shadow Dash MS/MS3/CurrentTune.msq

Then start Shadow Dash and connect, it will read the PC variables from that file and the names will be reflected.

You can also do a long touch on any gauge and change the Title and units, limits, etc..

Some info here:

Another tip, use TunerStudio 2.6 for now... Shadow Dash doen't yet support TS3 dashboards.

Unfortunately there is not, that needs to be added for the next release.

Thanks for the explanation Phil. So after copying CurrentTune.msq to the Android device then start logging, the renamed fields will appear correctly then?

thanks!
