t_vago - you've done a tremendous job to upgrade MPGuino's software. And I really appreciate the effort. Pity I can't test it right now for one simple reason... Berta is just standing in a garage and waiting for me... I'm riding my bike all the time, because there's no need to drive a car. But hopefully soon I'll be able to go for a round trip through "my" offices across Europe and I'll test your code throughly. Of course with a proper feedback.

One suggestion for you, maybe worth to consider in a next version of your code. I was changing the "Canadian" version of MPGuino, and I've embeded the code for coast down tests. Up and down speeds are edited with global parameters, and when I go to the proper screen it's showing the exact time and distance that car was coasting from one given speed to the other. It's very accurate and much more convinient than reading time and distance from your speedo and a stop watch.
