Well come on man....did you get it and more importantly waddya think!???

 

Keep looking in my mailbox and I live i Canada, soon snow will slow the mail system here.

 

Hit 24c/74f here today, which is unseasonably warm for blight this time of the year...that said we had a cr@p Summer. So no such excuses for Paul.

Hope it gets to you so you can read those COLD intake temps CC

 

22c here today, been a very hot summer most days over 30. Supposed to have a warm fall , love cruising on a nice day with the top down in October or November

 

you could have a look at parcelsapp.com
that seems to be more detailed.

 

The ADU is absolutely perfect and is better than in all the pictures on here.
I updated the ADU with the new firmware supplied by Bob and as barnsie I had to install the drivers first.

Perfect fit and really is a 10 second plug and play.It took longer to take the parts out of the packaging

Tried to take a picture from drivers point of view

 

Patience, grasshopper, patience

 

You're right - as good as it looks in the photos, it looks better in situ than in the pics! Amazing job from Bob.

 

Bob mailed one to me in the second mailing batch. I believe you were in the first mailing lot. The tracking number should show up in the Canada Post tracking system. Does it say it arrived in Canada yet? I checked mind and it shows "International item has left originating country and is en route to Canada". I had an item shipped to me 4 months ago and it took 2 months to delivery from the UK.

 

Of all items that were shipped to Canada and US, only one now has the status "arrived in destination country" which is the one of Marc Voorhees.

Concerning the drivers for the device, you can install those already.
To do this, the device doesn't have to be connected to your computer.

I'm a little confused with this post, Bob. If these drivers are located on this website for download one will need an internet accessible device (computer with modem) unless our ADU's have modems or have the drivers onboard.

Our quasi state sponsored postal systems are still backed up. Some items get delivered quickly others can take 8 weeks.

 

DGL,

These drivers are installed on your computer, so the computer recognizes the ADU.

 

This was my experience:

When I first connected my ADU to my Windows 10 PC I ran the updater for my engine (4.2), as described by Bob.
The updater opened a window but this is what I got:


Pressing any key terminates the program.

I then downloaded the Windows driver using Bob's link. The download took a few seconds and the installation similarly. I did not reboot the PC.

I then ran Bob's updater again, and the ADU was found this time. I then just followed Bob's on-screen instructions in the updater program window. After a few seconds the program reported that the update was finished.

The only slight confusion was that Bob initially said that W10 has the necessary driver built-in, but my W10 clearly didn't. I would suggest that everyone update the W10 driver anyway. It can do no harm to do so and it only takes a second or two. If you do this before you receive the ADU then you will be all set when it arrives.

 

I downloaded the drivers to ensure they are updated or installed on my PC running windows 10. The following is a screen shot of the zip file. It contains 2 install app files. Which one do I execute for the install?

EDIT: Ooops. I just read the readme file for documentation. There are 2 install files. One is named for 64 bit OS and the other is for 86x. I installed the 64bit version of the divers on my PC. I'm ready to go to install the update when Bob's ADU arrives.

 

First unzip the zip file (right-click and select "extract to ..."),
then go into the extracted folder and double-click "CP210xVCPInstaller_x64" for a 64 bit operating system (you probably have)

 

If you have a 64 bit PC, then you use the 64 bit installer file. (the one named _x64).


You can find out what type of machine you have from Windows Control Panel. Unless your machine is pretty old, chances are it's 64 bit,



Bob posted while I was typing.

 

And DGL edited his post while both Bob and I were typing. All sorted now!

 

yes it's clear now,
people with the "windows 10 home" edition probably do not have those drivers pre-installed.
I'm running win10 ultimate pro.

 

Good point. If I do another update, I'll try it on my Surface Pro which is running Windows 10 Pro.

 

Driving around at night, I noticed when passing street lights, the display of the device flickers, which I found to be annoying.
So I updated the firmware again, which smooths out the change in brightness of the display.
Now downloadable from my website.

EZ-updater from now on uses the previous mentioned ZIP-method:
- connect device to computer (micro USB cable)
- download EZ firmware ZIP file
- unzip the ZIP file
- go into the unzipped folder
- double click the "firmware.bat" file
- follow the on screen directions.

Be sure not to run the "firmware.bat" file from within a WinRAR window.

Shipping:
This morning I saw a lot of tracking info showing "arrived in destination country"....
