Post your "Splash Screen" images

Thanks man.

Here are some more.

I wonder if there is a way to make the splash screen stay up longer, or even come up if idle... like a screensaver? When I turn my V2 on, I see the screen for a half a second now. I would swear it was longer before.

Thanks man.

I am working on a much better Firebird one.

Yes it is faster than the old V2.4 firmware, the boot sequence has been heavily optimized. You can view the splash screen using one of the options inside "self tests".

You can change the splash screen time by editing the Settings.dat file using a hex editor. (It will be a user definable option in future).

If you understand C stuctures, here's the layout of the Settings.dat file:

typedef struct {
  TCFG_LOCALE locale;        // Locality, used for date formats
  TCFG_UNITS units;          // Units, used for default or alternate units
  WORD arDelay1;             // Auto-repeat, inital delay in ms
  WORD arDelay2;             // Auto-repeat, time between repeats in ms
  WORD splashTime;           // Number of ms to display the EFILive AutoCal splash screen
  long date;                 // MRU Date
  long time;                 // MRU Time
  WORD fileCounter;          // Filename counter
  WORD lowPwrTime;           // Number of minutes before sleeping
  WORD alertTime;            // Time to display alerts
  WORD errorTime;            // Time to display errors
  WORD fileSystem;           // Filesystem in use: 0=None, 1=Internal Flash, 2=SD Card 
  BYTE unused[256-28];       // Pad to 256 bytes
} TCFG;

Great info! Changed it to BB as I wanted about 1500ms and didnt change and then tried FF (4096ms) still no joy. I will keep playing with it, its no big deal and your are very busy
