My experience so far. Setup was very easy and smooth from loading firmware onto the PC8 and the updated DA. I did have one issue when trying to test send a screenshot PC8 said all was ok but no screenshot was received via email. In the end this was my own doing of getting ahead of myself by not filling in all the needed info ie. the email address. Now that all is set up the wireless upload has worked faultlessly, sending .fit file via email and screenshots to Facebook and Twitter feeds both on home WiFi network and via iPhone hotspot. The .fit file did seem to take a good 5min to upload (2.5hr ride) even when only 1m from the WiFi router. Just a side note as some have experienced PC8 defaulting to hotspot when in range of WiFi and not sending. Mine has always defaulted to WiFi at home even when hotspot was enabled on iPhone this could be because I have WiFi as #1 in the DA settings.
The only minor issue with the new PC8 firmware is GPS lock seems to take longer, no big deal for me as I use the speed pod for speed reading. Also battery power use seems to drop a bit faster than before, but will need few weeks to determine this to be correct as I have been scrolling through setting more than normal.

1) for the screenshots please check your spam folder since the procedure is the same for Facebook and Twitter and there you can see
2) there is not any slot priority on the network detection since the module makes a scan and gets in the order of the WiFi channel (So the lowest channel is scanned at the begin and the number of the channel is in function of your access point!)
Thanks for your experience and feedback!

Re: PC8 firmware: news - novità
Ciao, from the PC8 you get the bmp since is the matrix of the pixels, but when you upload or download by the DA the image is elaborated and transformed to PNG.Tillquist wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:25 pm
I also noticed another thing about screenshots
When I saver file is a .bmp file, but I can not open it in Photoshop CS6, the program writes the error.
But if I rename screenshots image to .png file so I can upload the file to Photoshop CS6
Is it possible to change the screenshot file will be a .png for the future?

Re: PC8 firmware: news - novità
Hi - I've updated the DA to the latest version and now after I connect my PC8 to the DA it says the PC8 firmware needs updating and is not compatible.
How do I upload the new PC8 firmware?
Kind regards,
Eka
