Thread: Vehicle Maintenence Plugin

fixed the time issue.. i'm moving onto the mileage calculation

I'm trying to research this problem and i'm a little confused.. your current TOTALDISTANCE label is 62500...but the history item says 65500 ? RRVM_HISTORYMILEAGE is supposed to say at what mileage the selected history item was completed... so if you reset a maintenance item at 62500 that number is written to history.csv. 65500 would make no sense

When I go into history, and select the air filter it is showing the 65500. It seems to be pulling the total distance for the value when an item is reset.

Just to make sure I don't have the label in the wrong place I am using "RRVM_HISTORYMILEAGE"

Yea it was 62500, sorry. I thought that label was to show how many miles left. I have gotten confused with the 3 different screens, and what labels are for what. My bad.

I am on Yahoo as usual, if ya wanna chat when you get home. JohnWPBFL

i've got the latest fix with the days remaining label fixed and uploaded.

I'll shoot you a message from yahoo tonight to see if anything else is hanging. I'll have to remember what my yahoo id is though lol

Its the addy you use for HM

Sorry, I was out most of the evening after all, just was checking the forums b4 hitting the sack.

Man, this would be great if I could use it! I hacked into my Onstar GPS, and this has worked great for getting from point A to point B for 3 or 4 years now. The problem is, from time to time it'll throw out some bogus information. On the gauges screen in DFX I've noticed from time to time the location it says is hundreds of miles from where I actually am. At the same time, the speed readout pegs @ around 5500 MPH. It's apparently doing it more often than I originally thought.
This is my Maintenance Tracker.ini:

I had 138765 miles when I started this morning, now I'm over a million!

I don't guess there's any way for the plugin to ignore anything that is obviously impossible distances? If is not easy to fix, don't worry about it. I guess I can get another GPS receiver down the road.

lol did your GPS throw you off the planet or something? I guess if you had a bad connection and the gps returned a bad set of coordinates this could happen. Never thought of it honestly. It would be easy to add a kickout that would calculate the difference in coordinates and throw out impossible numbers. Say... any distance that would indicate than your travelled speed being more than 160mph

That's kinda what I was thinking.... the truck has a 100MPH speed limiter anyway! If it's not to hard to do I'd appreciate it!

In a nutshell.... the same feature as the old milage plugin had if the calc'd distance is > than setting specified for the plug in it doesn't add that to the total acc milage.
