VP2 Temp Offset

Post by Mapantz »

I was doing some maintenance of my VP2 today, and something suddenly occurred to me..

I upgraded the temp/humidity sensor back in June, and as I have a slightly older ISS, I had to put a -0.5°C offset in to the console. However, I upgraded the firmware of the console not long ago, would that remove the offset?

No.

The offset is required for the ISS firmware, not the consoles. Update your ISS board and you can remove it.

Ah I see.

I don't want to remove it, it's just that during the colder weather in the past few days, it looked as though it was under-reading at night, and over-reading during the day - stats looked dodgy.
