View Full Version : Thought for future V2 revisions or V3

Travelling from MO to NY, I was doing some logging and when having an inverter and 12v cooler plugged into the same 10A circuit caused it to pop :doh2:, thus dumping my log, I had a thought; For future V2 hardware revisions (If such a thing would happen) or a V3 if/when that comes to be, how about adding some kind of battery with ONE function: To allow data being logged to be committed to memory and closed properly if power should fail while logging. The other possibility (maybe) would be a firmware mod that would commit logs to memory immediately, thus if power failed, little or nothing would be lost.

Just a thought.

There won't be a hardware change for V2.
It could possibly be cured in firmware, like a file recovery on the PC, find a 'broken' log file and recover what you can. I might be putting my foot in it here too, Paul is the one who could really answer this.

If you were logging to SD card it could be worth mounting the SD card file system on a windows PC and running some sort of FAT32 file system verification/correction software, like chkdsk.
