----- Summary of Changes in this Release -----
Section titles show the feature/problem tracking number and description.
Release: 4.0a75 2022-04-25
This version is pre-release firmware packaged exclusively for testing
purposes. Improper operation may occur and should not be unexpected.
IMPORTANT NOTES - Please Read Carefully!
NOTE: This firmware is instrumented to detect illegal writes to any setting
in EEPROM. The CA intercepts these errors before they occur, ceases
normal operation, and displays a special 'Watch EE' screen. A similar
'StkTrace' screen will also appear if other non-recoverable internal
errors occur.
If one of these screens appears, please record the screen information
either by manual transcription or phone photo then press the right
console button. Repeat the photo/button-press process until all
screens have been recorded and the CA reboots.
Please forward the recorded information with a description of the
failure circumstances to Grin at: info@ebikes.ca. Please include a
setup file if possible. Thank you!
NOTE: This firmware is instrumented to detect incomplete save of Trip Data
to EEPROM on power down. Main Screen error messages are reported on
the next power-up.
1. 'SAV ERR' indicates the save process did not complete.
2. 'NO SAVE' indicates that no data was saved at all.
These messages can be cleared by pressing either console button.
Please report occurence of any such errors.
NOTE: This is a special pre-release development version with a temporary
additional 'Development' Setup Category. These settings are intended
for Grin test and development personnel only. The defaults should
provide workable operation and changes to any setting may cause
improper device operation with unknown consequences.
All classic CA3 functions should be working - Please report all issues.
