So far, everything is working great with the 20131010 code!

Tomorrow will be a more complete test.

I believe that this new version has a bug in the choice of metric system, not premite off the metric system, please confirm.

Thank you

I do not understand. I could switch between US and metric mode with no problems.

Apart from the slight roundoff error that occurred when the VSS pulses/mile setting was converted to metric mode and back (10000 -> 6215 -> 9999), I could see no issues.

I'm sorry, as they say in Portugal (I was in the kitchen garden, but not eye the cabbages). The display configuration was expected moves (Metric 1-Yes) to (Metric 0-Yes) which can not happen because it is just a info, once again I apologize for my stupidity.

Thank you

Nope, it's not stupidity on your part. We just have to come up with some sort of better prompt for that. "Metric 1-Yes" is somewhat confusing, but there's not a lot of room for anything more. Maybe I can come up with some sort of display that alternates between the value label and its allowed values.

"Metric" (wait one second)
"Yes=1, No=2" (wait one second)
"Metric" (wait one second)
and so on, and so on...

Halfway report from the road 175 miles in and it's all good.

Eh, I vote "no" to that. I think it's intuitive as is.

If someone were to write out more verbose explanations in some documentation, it would help get a new user up to speed.

In fact although may make of otherwise, it was a bit obvious, I was even sleeping, I think the Ardent is right, no need to change the code.
But if you want to do, I think the simplest way without changing much code would be like this:

Code:

US 0 / Metric 1
selected:  1

The text (US 0 / Metric 1) and (Seleted) would always be fixed, and the value (0) or (1) is changed as it already happens.

Thank you

I've been trying to work for the MPGuino in the car, but without success, I believe I'll have the same problems we had with the buttons, due to the configuration of the arduino mega ports, which are different from those you use in the code.
Is there any way to debug to see what is happening?

Thank you
José Rodrigues

Since I now have an Arduino Mega, and a basic MPGuino signal generator, I can figure out what is going on. It still sounds like the compiler is not liking the interrupt vectors that are being supplied by the code.

Also seems to be the problem, especially in the analog pin Vss, as did the buttons.
