IQANdesign 3.16 released
Highlighted features and changes
1810 Add new module MD4-10
The 10" (26cm) version of the MD4, the IQAN-MD4-10, has been added to IQANdesign.

24020 MD4: Decrease minimum cycle time
The minimum cycle time on the MD4 (all versions) have been decreased from 25 to 10 ms.

Highlighted problems solved
24563 MD4: Backlight flickers in supply voltage range 12-14V
The MD4 had a function that automatically reduced backlight for supply voltages <14 V. This reduction caused the display to flicker for small supply voltage variations in the range 12-14 V, and has now been removed.
Note: There will still be a decreased backlight intensity below 12.5 V due to hardware restrictions.

Has anyone else had an issue with spn warnings getting stuck on?

Backlight auto-adjuste
Hi
My customer use product during the day and the night. The problem is in night the backlight is too hight. It is possible to change with the menu, or with a button to switch in night mode. it's work but is not auto-adjuste.
Three possibility to do an auto-adjust-backlight
1 - add a light sensor (light Garmin GPS)
2 - add a function who calculate the sunrise and sunset with latidude/longitude in input. I have made this fonction it is works great. But if the system loose date or the customer change place (it is possible with our product), it doesn't works. Like that there a number 3
3 - add a GPS module on your module (now a GPS module is very low cost (5$)), like that always on time, you have the real speed, and you can use the auto-adjuste-module
Regards

the answer might be interesting also for other users:
When should I use integer and when real values?
CAN-communication is one example where I see benefits using integer values.
Thanks.

Hello forum users,
I would think to use weather station for a mobil project by IQAN. Weather station use NMEA 2000 communication protocols.So I did internet research. The NMEA 2000 protocol is based on the j1939 higher layer protocol. Can I use iqan module for NMEA 2000 protocol ?
