OK, MiniDash Beta 4 is finally ready to release.
Here's the link to download:MiniDash Installer
If you want to see what it's all about, or just what's new, you can get the user guide here.
The user guide is included in the install as well.
MiniScan, a universal Turbo-Mopar code scanner, coming soon!
Looks good Rob, got it downloaded on my Treo. Seems to take a while to load up though, and when I open the demo file it says "connecting, please wait" for a while before it completes. Not sure if thats they way is should work or if there is an issue with my palm there. Looking forward to the color version and the scanner!
No, it's not your Palm. The AutoID function in the DRB-I computers (LM, T2 SMEC) is really slow to respond. I'm going to work on speeding it up, but no promises. If you're connected to a car, it will be faster. I need to add that to the FAQ in the manual, I guess.Originally Posted by altered7151
I held off on the new color screen for B5 because I need to re-write quite a bit of the dash control to really make it work (and look) good.
The scanner is actually running now, I just need to build some documentation and an installer for it. Maybe ready to release in week or 2.
I get "Error 1: out of memory" right after the nag screen
zire 71???
I have the same error. Going to try a fresh install. I'll report back.

also getting "Cannot run command line C:\Program Files\palmOne\Shelby\cmd.exe /c del MiniDashData.mdb. 02/20/07 21:27:35" on every hotsync
Deleted Minidash and tried again. Still no go. Same error, I have 12mb out of 14 free.

Yeah, some systems don't let me delete the temporary .mdb I use to create the .csv. This error is nothing to worry about. I'm just going to stop trying to delete the temp file...
Hmm, that means there's not enough heap memory to load the graphics. With 12mb free, the heap should be plenty big enough, I'd think. Let me look into that one...
Thanks for the bug reports, too...
I will try a couple other things. Also have a 128mb card in it, but not sure how to put things on it...

OK, I fixed the memory problem. I got the same error when loading MD on the Zire71 simulator. It turns out, I had left some of the "experimental" 3D overlays in the dash control. I deleted them, and it runs fine now on the simulator with only 4meg of memory (1meg heap).
Also, I changed the conduit to stop trying to delete my temp file. I'll figure out a better way to do that later.
Same download link above, just a new file. Version should show as "b0.4g" when installed on your Palm.
Thanks RobI'll give a go when I get home tonight.

silly question I'm sure, but after down loading from the link, how do I install it onto my palm(its a palm vx)? Thanks!
Just run the program, then the next time you sync your Palm it will be installed on the Palm.
Hope that helps.

i'm getting a couple of errors when i run the program though. First I get- Cannot load function: ImGetModule
then I get- Cannot Load Funtion:ImGetDWord.
That one's in the FAQ in the user guide. You need to download and install the latest version of Palm Desktop (4.1). The older versions do not supoprt the Palm Installer...
okay, I was l'll download the user guide seperately and take a look. it looks like I only have pal desktop 3.1. thanks!
Rob, looks great!! The TH and RPM are no longer blured for me. And thanks for the Cable suggestions in the user manuel. I will try to get my issue sorted out so I can actually use it.

That's good. Let me know how it works for you.
I'm getting an "Error 33 - Unsupported Bitmap format" on both Minidash and Miniscan. I have PalmOS Ver. 5.2 on my Sony Clie PEG-TJ27 and Palm Desktop 4.1.0 . Any thoughts? I'm not sure how to delete it from the PDA to reload it. If I just do another HotSync, will it just overwrite the old one?
