HMs DIY #1-6

Because I want to keep this datafield and the app free for use I would be very grateful about a small donation to PayPal

A detailed description of how to use it can be found here:

First things: thanks for excellent work. It's really amazing.

And then I want to ask about Di2 gears with Shimano. Can't add them to DIY?

Thanks, thanks, thanks.

hundsmiachn over 4 years ago in reply to XR-Scully

should already work!

I think the derailleur front, rear should be the correct ones for the DI2.

sure, just read the manual :)

Thank you for your quick response, and you forgive my level of English.

I have created a datafield with DIY and I have not yet mounted my bike with ultegra Di2 (all in boxes, waiting for the arrival of the frame).

I have put the Di2 fields but I can't check if it works or not. It is the reason why I have asked ... to know if it works.

And again, thank you.

So, I uploaded a new version 2.7.4 to clone #4. Sorry for the problems, but I had to rework the code again so the medium devices have enough memory left. It is really a struggle to squeeze out every byte to have more free memory.

http://public.stattegg.info/HM_DIYD_2.7.4.zip

2.7.4
* changed error text when using wrong designer version for creating string
* a workout step is now registered as lap event
* fixed bugs: (hiding not working, app version, name not shown)

On more thing: I am thinking of removing the black default layout string. Wouldn't it be better if instead all colors would switch as mccinner1 suggested so black switches to white and white to black (can be set for every element seperatly then).

I could switch then the colors dynamically, not only when the datafield is loaded. At the moment I have no other option to completely reload the layout (including all values reseting to zero). And the current switching isn't working anyway in some cases.

What do you think?

mcinner1 over 4 years ago in reply to hundsmiachn

I must apologize a thousand times! Day and night mode work - even on the now un-updated Clone #1.
I made a big mistake when testing earlier - I didn't switch to the right profile and tested another one where day and night is not set up.

I have now tested with the XMLs (day / night) published earlier -
DAY/NIGHT WORKS!

Ich teste jetzt noch Bodenseematzes Layouts...

I can confirm, hiding does work again (and blinking is also still working ), the datafield version as value is also shown BTW, it does not matter what you put in as "text" - it always gets completely replaced by the version number string; so if you want a "v" in front of it, you have to use a separate element (I tried to use "v$V" - but that also got completely replaced by the version string) - that's no bug, it's how it works

I think that in 99% of all cases that'd be what people do to create a "dark design" - so to have the possibility to add an own "dark design" (and to use your automatism if that string is empty) would be nice - but it's IMHO not necessary.

What does that mean? It sounds interesting

hundsmiachn said:

And that's the knock out criteria for keeping that "dark string" --> remove it (my 2 cents)!

BTW, the datafield "SPHGraWH" does show its version number in the Garmin express setting...

Aah, and as usual: you did a really good job - and your reaction time between telling bugs here at the forum and fixing them is absolutely awesome!

Which one? These which I posted here or the ones which I sent you via E-Mail?
(still don't know why I can post my test layouts here but not my real ones...)

mcinner1 over 4 years ago in reply to mcinner1

Bodenseematzes Day and Night Layout works, too!
