Sooo after 2 weeks of going back and forth on my issues with the firmware it seems a few things went sideways.
I kept going going back to them stating the firmware doesnt have all the changes requested. They came back saying they tested it on there side and it works, but then ask is the firmware successful passing the flashing process. I have now moved to screenshots showing the fact that it is passing with no issue. They reply back you have it on the wrong setting that it needs to be on the other one, because It was only flashing the firmware to the programmer not the board itself. The documentation states the setting I have been using. So, I change the setting and try to flash the firmware. Now, it comes back with an error.
So, I give them the update of the error I am receiving, and they now question if everything is hooked up correctly. Ah YES!!!! So in the end to make them happy I tested 2 cables, 2 power supplies (wall power and car battery), and 2 driver boards. It still comes back with the same error message.
Then, they ask for me to change the programmers switch over to the left-side even thought the documentation shows the switch for the programmer needs to be on the right-side. Low and behold it works WOW everything documentation wise has been the opposite.
I take the new flashed firmware and install it in the Digital Dash to come across a couple additional minor issues that I guess they are not able to program in the firmware. In the end I am good with as long as it does what I wanted I dont care. So after the 2 weeks of back and forth everything works as planned and the Digital Dash is fully operational.
Its been a crazy ride, but this new screen and enclosure are definitely worth it.
