yummy, can't wait

Good work Steve...

How did the meet go? Would have probably come along but been mega busy house hunting and adding more mods to the car

And working hard covering the 3 lazy tw*ts that didn't turn up for work all last week

I'll grab one over the weekend and let you know how it goes.. Might be useful for reading temps, voltage, and flickin the switch for my neons...

Very interesting, let me know how it goes. It'd be interesting to see if you can actually flick switches and monitor things with. Imagine being able to get a digital read out of how much fuel you have to the litre.

This sounds like the easiest solution. We can easily edit the one file in notepad and add the road runner path in it. You can enable everything via the installation. Powerusers can then if they wanted to read up the readme file if they want to customise the crap out of it.

Things that need to be set for things to work...

Picture Path in rr.ini in the main Road Runner folder
This needs to be set so RR knows where to show the pictures from, this is regardless in any skin.. its easy to do just open up rr.in in notepad and add something like - picspath=D:\My Pictures\

Everything will work.. but things that will improve things are setting the time to HH:MM in rrconfig, hidedots=true in rr.ini turning the preamp/eq to ON in winamp and a few more things.. I can do most of these from Freedom on startup but unsure if everyone would want this.. it would however save any problems..

So theres only really 1 line you need to make sure you have in the rr.ini file that points to your picture folder path.. everything else I can take care of if you think I should..

Absolutely!! Sounds good to me!

havent got time to add a phone skin unless you want it delaying by a week. I've been having problems with rr and passing variables for the mixer. After alot of messing about I have changed the source for RR and sent the changed to guino to add to his releases.. I will have to bundle the altered rr.exe with my skin for the mixer to work right... I will get something out today I hope..

thanks

No phone skin... please release. People let's start with SOMETHING FIRST!!!! This is why most skins never get release.

Cyrax, will do mate. Already have a digital read out of how much juice is left in the tank :P. Dont know how u'd go about doin it with this thing tho, but i guess anything is possible. Grabbing the kit on sat, but the missus wants to go away this weekend, so better keep her happy. So i'll slap it together prolly on monday night and have a bit of a play on my bench and see what it can do... Any requests of what you want me to test???? I'm basically after this thing as a relay controller, dont really need the Digital I/O's but i'm sure i'll probably find a use for em when its in the car

Cheers,
