Today the last 4 devices are shipped. I'll send an email with tracking info.
Reverend Sam didn't respond, so his device is "waiting".

Barnsie, point your buddy to my website, then he can produce one of his own.

Attach the device to a windows 10 computer with a micro-USB cable

follow the on-screen instructions.
windows 7/8/8.1 users, unzip and install this driver software first.

Above, 5.0 firmware link updated, there was a code mistake

MarkyUK 09-16-2020 06:45 PM

Wow Bob, youre burning that candle!
I can confirm it works on my 5.0.

So not only the first owner in the world (apart from Bob) to fit, but the first to have split screen!! :D

Barnsie will be along shortly for his (usual) silver medal position and confirmation of operation on his 4 2 :)

203 Celsius ????? Your engine is toast! I'm sure it should read Fahrenheit. Love the dual read out.

Mark,

did you see post #245?
I hope you clicked the download button after the time of that post.

Yes, bench testing picture,
I forgot to change C to F (and it wasn't connected to my car)

Amended accordingly now, download was the same minute as your post, so allowing for you completing before you posted on here I'll be fine :)

If not will it self destruct?? :(

Great update Bob! Love the dual display. And just as legible as the single display.

One thing - although I am using Windows 10, I had to install the device drivers before the ADU could be recognised by my PC.

I also decided to change my unit to Celsius + Kilometres for when I am driving in France and Italy. I figured I already have a big MPH display on the dash, plus the MPH is also featured in my Waze window. (I always have Waze running when I am in the car, for speed cameras and other road warnings). Thanks for making it very easy to change from MPH to KPH and back again.

The faulty code would have ejected the passenger seat.
EDIT:
The faulty code would have disabled the last cycle item.

Good to know. Maybe caused by no internet connection (Windows searches for drivers on the internet).

Our country has recommended not to travel to France. Italy is fine ....

Yep hopefully Bob has standardised the download protocols going forward.

Cabrio Bob 09-17-2020 10:19 AM

Looking at the shipment tracking information, there's a 3rd person who received the device (UK).

I don't think so since my PC is always connected and I immediately downloaded the drivers from your link. No big deal - just thought you should know in case anyone else reports the same thing. No idea why it happened - I am definitely running Windows 10! :) Safest option from your POV is to tell everyone to download the drivers - only takes a few seconds and the install is immediate - no need for a reboot.

Same here now. I was meant to be back in France right now (this time in my wife's Porsche, but we had to call it off. I could get to Italy via Holland, Germany and Switzerland but it's too much of a PITA. Resigned now to no more trips to Europe until next year. I do like the Netherlands very much but not sure we can go there either. Damn virus,

That would be me according to the tracker :icon_dance-cpatch:
Cant wait to get home and get my first look at it, thanks Bob. :icon_toast:

Which order should I update the unit?
EZupdater first or the firmware update for the dual display?

Cant wait now to do the updates and get it fitted and tried out, pictures will follow probably tomorrow unless I cannot wait when I get home. :D

Cabrio Bob 09-17-2020 10:58 AM

Paul, the update from post #244 is the latest.
that's also an "EZ updater" but not wrapped into an EXE.
when I tried that Windows threated it as a virus, so I didn't want to upload that.

Marc Voorhees 09-17-2020 02:32 PM

The US is sooooo far away! I keep looking at the tracking hoping it is closer! BOB, truly, you seem to be a wizard at this
