I've got my efficiency factor set to 90% (Battery Bank 1 1/2 years old)

Is there a menu tree photo or PDF . I haven't  pushed enough buttons yet :-) or im always going a different way and just keep missing it. I have found 5 menus just under tweak's . I find after a week or so , I need to relearn again.
A menu tree im sure would help many.

The menu trees are out of date for new firmware.  Look in the manual for the WBjr for where to make these settings.

That's cool !   I got the file and plotted the voltage on the right side so that it had its own scale
which zooms in a bit better.

I think I see the lapse in time but I'm not quite sure ?  You didn't do anything to bring it back ?

Hmmmm...    Is this the newest firmware ?  The firmware that Andrew posted for testing ?

boB

That missing data was probably due to the famous disconnect that I didn't notice until too late.
This data was back in April 2014.  So it's not the new firmware Andrew posted. May try to update next month once we start going back to lake.

Has anybody tried the new network update yet ?

Does it help or is it the same as before ?

I'm waiting for a stable release, too far to walk to unscramble things.

I am kind of surprised that I am the only one who seems to have tried this new update out . Had no problems following Ryan's directions - everything uploaded quickly with no glitches. Local Status app worked no problem after update and I did not have to change any other settings.

The only thing I had to do was change the ip address so I could get into the mymidnite beta site and that works fine too . Great new features that everyone has been waiting for.

While I would normal be one to try this Alpha Firmware release it is the wrong time of the year for me to put this in place when I cannot spend a few days on the boat to monitor the results. Hopefully that should be changing next month.

I am curious to hear Ryan’s comment s on whether he has seen this update resolve the disconnect issues between the Classic and the Local App.

Andrew -
The full scale on the mymidnite beta site is great ! Now we can see the battery voltage go up and down on the graph. 

Will await to see when the other bugs I reported get worked out and let you know if they show up okay .

Well loaded the 1900 files into the Classic last night. For the record it is showing 1933 1/8/2015 MNGP - 1923  2/19/2015 Classic - 1824 Network. Is this what we should be seeing?

The bad news is with Local App 3.65 I still see disconnects from the Classic. Connects are WiFi with excellent signal strength and nothing but a laptop and Classic on the network. The disconnects are occurring when trying to export OFFLINE DATA with the local app.

Excellent, thanks for checking, RH. Are you seeing any lock-ups or just the disconnects? I've been going through the Local App code and have been wondering if it's not more responsible for disconnects than the Classic itself!
Thanks for trying it out, though. I'll try to replicate on my end.

I just tried export of Offline Data from Local Status App and no crashing or disconnecting happening for me.

It's not 100% reproducible. I had it 3 time this morning trying to Export. The next time it worked. So far in the short 5 hrs of observation no othe disconnect while leaving the LA connected.

Wonder if it has something to do with how much data is in the Classic. Mine goes back to June 2014.  236 entries to be exact. I'm trying to to get back to the magical 256 where I had a bug that started erasing lines of data after that in an older controller. Don't know if boB ever found a bad EPROM in it or not.

Crazy ... How many entries in your offline data?
