I know... It was the only way I could think of to distinguish the I/C/T characters from the labels. I suppose I could keep them steady, or something... I'm open to suggestions at this point.

  3. Upon reaching "Marker 2", again press Middle Button. MPGuino displays "Direction A/ STOP", then "Direction A/ XX.36 MPG".
  4. Turn around, accelerate to speed, set cruise, and then at "Marker 2", press Middle Button. MPGuino displays "Direction B/ START", then Instant/Current variables.
  5. Upon reaching "Marker 1", again press Middle Button. MPGuino displays "Direction B/ STOP", then "Direction B/ XX.63 MPG", Then "A/B Average = XX.495 MPG".

Advantages:
  1. One button start/stop of test.
  2. No need to write down results during test.
  3. Auto averaging.
  4. Multiple runs stored for recording later.

Potential Test Screen Setup:
  • To enter: middle button long press
  • Start/Stop recording MPG: middle button short press
  • L/R buttons scroll through test results. "1A XX.36 1B XX.63 A/B Avg XX.495MG" "2A 2B" etc.
  • long press M/R clears current test (bad run)
  • long press L/M clears all runs.
  • Exit test screen: middle button long press.
This is a really good idea, and has a really good possibility of being implemented. In particular, I could combine the "Multiple runs stored for recording later" idea with my A-B display I've been tossing around in my head. I could probably fold the "store trips" code into this, too.

Gotta figure out how many EEPROM trip slots can be set aside for this.
