and somebody's been playing with the COMBOX...

Great graphs !

Did you have a cloudy day ?

Hi Jim,

Looks beautiful,   nice work!

Thanks,  Vic

Jm,

All that data looks really good.  It shows a good understanding of the system state.

Very straight forward.

Any Idea when Beta comboxes are going to be available?  I would be glad to add one here is Texas.

Brian,
The data you see is a side project Jim is doing personally. Midnite is still in the design stages of sorting out a combox for the new products. Hopefully something will come together soon.

Thanks for the clarification.  But it does show us the data available from Midnite stuff.  Very well defined and allows for good understanding when the Combox does arrive from Midnite.

I think that Jim has done a fine job on this !   Graphical and pretty nicely laid out too !

Here is a quick update from Texas.

We finally got some sun today.  I have rearranged the arrays and Barcelona has the bigger array.  I'm seeing if an issue follows the array or device. Nothing big, just curious.

I updated the MNGP2 software yesterday and have been using it all day today.  There are still a few bugs, but it is much better.  I like being able to see the data all on one page.  The voice reports follow the data snapshot well. 

More as I learn it!

Brian,
Does the mngp  backlight timeout work for you ?
I have it to 3 or 5 minutes but it always stays on .
Maybe that isn't enabled yet ?

Hi Larry,

The Barcelona's LED Backlight never shuts off,  when set for a few minutes either  ...  assumed that it was not yet enabled.   FWIW.   Vic

I submitted a bug for this to the engineer on the MNGP2 and will let everyone know when we have a beta firmware to test

[FNG]

I tested mine on 1 min and 2 min both work and the backlight goes real dim into power saving. Can both of you try it at 1 min and see if it goes into a reduced backlight?

[Highflyer]

I'll test mine and see, I have been using it as a nightlight!

Hi Ryan,

Have not yet retested it,  BUT,  previously,  the backlight DID DIM in approximtely the set time,  but was not completely exiinguished,  which was expected

Know, that LEDs have become much more efficient,  in the past decade,  compared to earlier ones,  so the impact on idle current,  is probably minimal.

Will retest it to comfirm,  in a bit.  73, Thanks,  VIc

Yes back light does seem to dim at 1 minute but not go out . I didn't try it at 2 minutes yet.
