Metric Readouts

Post by cameron »

Need Kph for our Pro3 along with other metric measurements such as Celsius, kPa etc
Hard to understand measurement readouts since we have not used imperial since the very early 1970's

Other than the extra effort to configure things with virtual channels, what is wrong with using virtual channels to convert to metric?

Is it a memory or performance thing, or just that you don't want to write a simple script and switch the dash to use them?

Sorry I grew up in the 60's so old dog new tricks. I know cars, engines, wiring etc but Script sounds like something religious? (agnostic guy)
I am definitely not a programmer or coding guy so it would be like learning Russian. For pc stuff if its not as simple as clicking a box or moving a mouse its like talking to a pre school child. :(
When we got the Pro3 i just automatically thought it would read metric as its just software. I never thought it was imperial only because imperial has not been used for decades, we started using just metric way back in 1966.

Hi, We are looking to add a settings switch for GPS Speed and distance, it should be in the next firmware and app release.

For other sensors, you are free to configure the units and scaling as you see fit. In the OBDII and CAN channel mappings, you can edit the channel and go to the rightmost tab to select a conversion, if needed.

Thanks!

Thats good news on KPH. Our Temp, Pressure senders etc are all hooked up via analog. Our engine is old school carby, distributor we have no ECU, CAN, OBD11 and everything comes up as imperial not metric.

Hello, unfortunately, it did not make it into the last release. Hopefully the next one, which should be soon.

Will post here when that is available.

Is it possible to reduce the decimal places to Zero and reduce the update intervall of the speed channel on the dashboard?

In the upcoming v2.0 app due out in a couple of months it will be possible to adjust the display settings. Thanks!
