Ok guys more problems! Installed a standard old fashioned resistive fuel gauge in a pod on the dash today. Very simple gauge. 12v=full , 2v=empty. Wired it all up and switched on with 100% soc in the module. Gauge goes to 3/4 with a 2khz whine. Enter setup mode and gauge drops to empty. Ran the 5k pot up and down the track. No change. Key off , key on. Back at 3/4 and whining. Decided to do a little spin. Hadn't driven 100 yards when the whine stopped and needle jumped to full. Also when in normal mode and using the button to change screen , the needle jumps to full when pressed then back to normal reading when released. I presume this is to do with the interrupt driven key handling.Running v1.2 code. Any thoughts much appreciated.

Everything else works fine just cant seem to get this fuel guage problem sorted.

Now, Cole, when you shift the gear and that little needle on the ammeter goes into the red and reads 2000 Amps, that's bad.
