Nanocom evo - instrument pack

I'll keep watching this thread but also plan to start a "Nanocom Evolution Bug Report and Wishlist" Thread in this section.

BBS can use it for checking what additional features their customers want it will also build up a body of information regarding the issues that people are having with their units. (I'm yet to try and register at the BBS support forums - if they have a similar thread there we can cross-link it to here)

I've not been able to find a similar thread but if a Mod wants to merge it with something that already exists that'd be great.

Ok. So did my test today with the temp set at 87. No alarm or warning messages appeared despite temp climbing to 92.

All other functions of the nanocom did work though and twas able to change from aplications without the unit freezing like it did pre upgrade.

Overall happy with the unit and I am sure Colin will get the few bugs fixed in time.

Hiya guys

We are indeed very much on the case with the problems reported here and so a big thanks to all for raising our awareness of them.

The first thing we have to do for any reported problem is confirm it and replicate it here, preferably on the bench, which can make it quite difficult sometimes especially where some have a problem and some don't. After all we can't really fix something we can't see.

However today we managed to test the Over Temperature Warning feature and had it working on the older software but not on the newer versions, so now we have a definitive situation we can use to test, find and fix it.

We also discovered the loss of a second digit on the boost occurring at the same software update time.

So things are really looking very good and we should have these wrinkles ironed out in a jiffy.

Sadly, we do not have a nanocom forum or even a sub section of our BBS one. When i first took on the Nanocom, i did briefly consider this, but for a large number of very good reasons, i ultimately had to can the idea.

So your "Nanocom Evolution Bug Report and Wishlist" Thread sounds like a great idea, and you can certainly count on me to participate and support it as best i can.

Just to confirm BBS Guy's observations.
My temperature alarm used to work before the evo upgrade, but doesn't after.

Just another thing I picked up on the same screen, the tyre co-efficient is now not working either.
A rate of 1.05 dropped the actual speed by 3-4kmh. It now shows the same as the speedo at 1.00, 1.05 and 1.10:1 ratios that I've tested.

Thanks LOVEMYRANGIE, i will put it on the list of things to check after we fix the Temperature Alarm.

I say this because when things like this were working and now are not, especially when they have not individually been changed, it is almost always some common thing, as it is good code efficient practice to make things modular and re used, like a hex to decimal conversion routine, so it will likely all be automatically fixed even if you concentrate on figuring out why one thing has stopped working and trace the problem to a module change that was likely made to expand it to also do some new variation for the added systems.

eg, I imagine that the Temperature alarm problem is related to the loss of resolution on the Boost pressure and so on.
