As mentioned earlier I have run into problems getting the circular bar gauge to work in v2.2. I have converted the “Carbon1.txt”, “Carbon2.txt”, and “evoscan1.txt” to run on v2.1 and I am pleased with the results, I will post the files when I am finished. I did find an irritating bug in v2.1 so I may revert to the earlier v2.0.
From the lack of response to my earlier post can I assume that I am the only one experiencing this problem?

Expert? to quote Clay Davis, "sheeeeeeeeiiiiit" Im' no expert, I just have time on my hands and fortunatly had just gone through setting up my EvoGPS on my new X so it was fresh in my memory. It helped that I had also already gone through setting it up on my VIII a few years earlier.
That said, if I had a nit to pick, evoscan ... you probably do need to do a better job of ensuring the SD cards you send out have all the latest defintions (I think Golden is a big help for you here with his database). No one likes to get their nice new shiney $3xx toy only to find out they need to troll the intertubes looking for their cars definition. It also might not be a bad idea to have a single download available for users to update their definitions (both for parms and guages).
I can't be telling you something you don't already know but really a bit of time spent on the admin right now can free up a lot of time in the future for you to continue doing the excellent work you do on the executables. Just my 2 cents from someone who was selling a product to the DSM crowd (1 million times less cooler than what you are selling) back in the day and knows what a demanding bunch we can be ;-)
I'm a fan, but fans can also be critics, so hopefully you don't take any of this personally

Oh and as to your gauges ... yeah I am not having problems but I'm also not really USING the gauges actively right now nor am I using circular gauges. I tend to make gauges for specific uses like tuning boost and then put it away for everyday. I don't use mine as a gauge pack, I use it for tuning help. Unlike SPN27 I don't feel like schlepping my laptop out to run some datalogs. I will either use EvoGPS or direct OpenPort2.0 logging to SD.

Of the experts you listed, I believe I am the only one with the Nav.
I build my graph, stuck it in my car and have been using it ever since. I have yet to upgrade my software. I got an email from Hamish back in December of last year to test a bug fix that I reported earlier. I have yet to test it / upgrade. (Sorry Hamish)
I'm not sure if I would be much help until I use the new software.
So... who does that leave to help you?

I love this EvoScan Nav. I have been using it a lot. I run the GPS in order to travel, and when I get there, I run EvoScan at the track. I have managed to make a Shift Light (as seen at [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofe8EpkvFrs[url]). The only thing I miss is a more complex (multi-variable) alarm system, so I can warn afr too lean or knock conditions. Also, the clear DTC would be nice.

Hi everyone!
Here's a video of my device working.
I'm using version PPC2.1 with Template2 (custom edition) from version 1.7, I worry about the low speed - in Evoscan mode, sampling rate does not exceed 58/sec, provided that requested a total of 8 parameters. In Gauge mode, the frequency drops to 23/sec.

When I tick SST temp for logging, it reduces the frequency to 3, and the activity lamp on bundle, blinks with 1 sec delay.

SPN27, did you follow the speed enhancement guide on the gpsnav webpage?
basically it says tick the Show Readings off, and set gauge display only (v2.2+)
yes SST is makes it slower if you tick it, it is just beta.
and if you are using OBDII software, it is 15 samples/sec... count yourself very lucky for this speed of 58/sec this is very fast. Tephra will make it faster with new EvoX mod roms.

I have: Mod23 enabled; O.P.2.0; Mode23 2008 JDM EVOX, Metric (km / h, deg C)
I have ticked only: Auto start logger, auto show gauges.
If it's only a beta version, it means that the problem WILL BE solved, then it calms down
And another thing, "Load" - at the peaks is shown more than 200%!?

v2.2beta runs faster
I tried the 2.2 beta, ticking only 8 parameters, sampling rate not exceeds 22!
Such speed I have on v.2.1 in Gauge mode!
Templates do not work, but now it's not a problem for me, I've learned to modify the * txt files!)
After turning off the ignition, the device does not see my cable, I have to do a hard reset!
When do you intend to release the full version 2.2?
