ShadowDash empty log files

Post by elaw »

I use ShadowDash sporadically to log data from my car, and in the past it's always worked well.

Yesterday and today I took logs on the drive to work, but they're empty! Yesterday I wasn't paying much attention and thought logging might have stopped for some reason, but today I specifically checked when I arrived at work and SD claimed it was still logging.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Thanks for reporting this issue. I am only seeing this in some cases when "Automatic Logging" or "Start Logging on Connect" is used to start the logs. The fix will be in the next release.

Workaround: Disable "Automatic Logging" and "Start Logging on Connect" in preferences and Manually Start datalogs

Thanks! I'm using both of those options (I know that doesn't really make sense but I think at one point in the past I had "start on connect" selected and it didn't always work so I turned on the other also). I'll turn them off and see if the issue is fixed.

FYI turning off those options and starting logging manually seems to have worked. Thanks! :D
