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.

Nice job on the website!

Already done :) He is, as predicted, GREEN with envy! :) :icon_greedy:

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

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)

Not quite correct, I was :icon_dance-cpatch:

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.

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

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.

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

Well come on man....did you get it and more importantly waddya think!??? :D

Keep looking in my mailbox and I live i Canada, soon snow will slow the mail system here. :(

Hit 24c/74f here today, which is unseasonably warm for blight this time of the year...that said we had a cr@p Summer. So no such excuses for Paul.

Hope it gets to you so you can read those COLD intake temps CC :)

22c here today, been a very hot summer most days over 30. Supposed to have a warm fall , love cruising on a nice day with the top down in October or November

you could have a look at parcelsapp.com
that seems to be more detailed.

The ADU is absolutely perfect and is better than in all the pictures on here.
I updated the ADU with the new firmware supplied by Bob and as barnsie I had to install the drivers first.

Perfect fit and really is a 10 second plug and play.It took longer to take the parts out of the packaging :D

Tried to take a picture from drivers point of view

Patience, grasshopper, patience :)

You're right - as good as it looks in the photos, it looks better in situ than in the pics! Amazing job from Bob.

Bob mailed one to me in the second mailing batch. I believe you were in the first mailing lot. The tracking number should show up in the Canada Post tracking system. Does it say it arrived in Canada yet? I checked mind and it shows "International item has left originating country and is en route to Canada". I had an item shipped to me 4 months ago and it took 2 months to delivery from the UK.

Of all items that were shipped to Canada and US, only one now has the status "arrived in destination country" which is the one of Marc Voorhees.

Concerning the drivers for the device, you can install those already.
To do this, the device doesn't have to be connected to your computer.
https://www.silabs.com/products/deve...ge-vcp-drivers

I'm a little confused with this post, Bob. If these drivers are located on this website for download one will need an internet accessible device (computer with modem) unless our ADU's have modems or have the drivers onboard.

Our quasi state sponsored postal systems are still backed up. Some items get delivered quickly others can take 8 weeks.

DGL,

These drivers are installed on your computer, so the computer recognizes the ADU.

This was my experience:

When I first connected my ADU to my Windows 10 PC I ran the updater for my engine (4.2), as described by Bob.
The updater opened a window but this is what I got:

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...822d960b8e.png
Pressing any key terminates the program.

I then downloaded the Windows driver using Bob's link. The download took a few seconds and the installation similarly. I did not reboot the PC.

I then ran Bob's updater again, and the ADU was found this time. I then just followed Bob's on-screen instructions in the updater program window. After a few seconds the program reported that the update was finished.

The only slight confusion was that Bob initially said that W10 has the necessary driver built-in, but my W10 clearly didn't. I would suggest that everyone update the W10 driver anyway. It can do no harm to do so and it only takes a second or two. If you do this before you receive the ADU then you will be all set when it arrives.

I downloaded the drivers to ensure they are updated or installed on my PC running windows 10. The following is a screen shot of the zip file. It contains 2 install app files. Which one do I execute for the install?

EDIT: Ooops. I just read the readme file for documentation. There are 2 install files. One is named for 64 bit OS and the other is for 86x. I installed the 64bit version of the divers on my PC. I'm ready to go to install the update when Bob's ADU arrives.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...921d401cfe.png

First unzip the zip file (right-click and select "extract to ..."),
then go into the extracted folder and double-click "CP210xVCPInstaller_x64" for a 64 bit operating system (you probably have)

If you have a 64 bit PC, then you use the 64 bit installer file. (the one named _x64).

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...e05f95ac67.png
You can find out what type of machine you have from Windows Control Panel. Unless your machine is pretty old, chances are it's 64 bit,

Bob posted while I was typing. :)

:) And DGL edited his post while both Bob and I were typing. All sorted now!

yes it's clear now,
people with the "windows 10 home" edition probably do not have those drivers pre-installed.
I'm running win10 ultimate pro.

Good point. If I do another update, I'll try it on my Surface Pro which is running Windows 10 Pro.

Another update
 

Driving around at night, I noticed when passing street lights, the display of the device flickers, which I found to be annoying.
So I updated the firmware again, which smooths out the change in brightness of the display.
Now downloadable from my website.

EZ-updater from now on uses the previous mentioned ZIP-method:
- connect device to computer (micro USB cable)
- download EZ firmware ZIP file
- unzip the ZIP file
- go into the unzipped folder
- double click the "firmware.bat" file
- follow the on screen directions.

Be sure not to run the "firmware.bat" file from within a WinRAR window.

Shipping:
This morning I saw a lot of tracking info showing "arrived in destination country"....
