Re: Latest Code Updates

I have put the latest beta 2.122 code (and matching INI) here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/V4code.html
This code has a number of small changes that don't affect the user, and one that does: the masking on the input capture for the VSS and ISS has been made optional. In previous codes, it was always in effect, and the user could only set the masking value. Very high mask values resulted in computational issues, and made the speedo jumpy - exactly what the masking is supposed to avoid.
In the new code, the masking can be completely disabled by setting the 'General Settings/VSS Setup/VSS Input Masking' value to zero (0).
Anyone who is having difficulty with a jittery or spastic speedo should try setting this value to zero. It seems to help a lot with somewhat noisy signals. Note that the new default in the code is to disable masking ( = 0 ), but this value will be overwritten by older MSQs, so you have to set it manually.
I have briefly tested the over-rev protection and the spare port PWM%, they appear to work as planned.
