Cool - when in "Live" mode, will there be a Full Screen option, meaning all menu bars and scroll bars disappear? Kind of like F11 for Internet Explorer.

Full screen mode would probably be in the "in car optimised" version.. but features and price are currently under review at the moment (and there is a relationship between the two) so I can't commit either way on this at the moment.

Sco, from your question earlier, I am interested in a "Hymee Enhanced, In-Car Optimised" product software. Add my vote to the box.

I was also wondering, since space is an issue, would it be difficult to implement bar gauges?

One feature I would be interested in using but understand if it isnt implemented, would be a wide array of customizing choices as far as data display implemented into the software.

I've heard a rumor that a one of our vendors is going to sell Hymee Enhanced products in the states...

Thanks for the feedback Zaku-8. Bar gauges are definitely something I'll look into. I'm leaving working on the gauges until last.

The in-car optimised version would have a range of pretty gauges plus flexibility to configure how they look as well as the layout.

Oh - a bit of an update... a test version of our final hardware is currently enroute. Hopefully we will have it this week. If all goes well (i.e. the hardware works as expected) we'll be out to a limited beta test very soon, and if that goes well, the final product won't be far away.

Guys, we'll have a good idea when we can ship once we've done some testing of the latest version of the hardware (which is still currently in transit). If testing goes well there is a good chance Santa could bring you one... but I can't promise anything until we have the hardware in our hot little hands. Hopefully the hardware will arrive early next week at the latest.

We're a bit stumped on a product name. I'm glad someone else doesn't like Hymeescan

I was thinking "EpiScan" but Hymee doesn't like that one. Maybe we should run a competition for a product name?

We haven't finalised distribution. We want to keep the costs down and we're weighing up the options.

P.S. What do you think of the digital readouts? What do you notice about the readouts?

episcan sounds like a hair removal device.

is this product for just the rx8, or is it being marketed to any car with the proper connectors? That in of itself should help name it.

He he ... you liked that one as much as Hymee did.

"epi" was short for epitrochoid.

(I edited my last post to answer another question I missed and to post another screen dump).

I'd say "RXcan" : mix of R-X-CAN & R-X-scan. (c):D Even if you don't like it, I still could use that name for Europe

The readouts look very digitanalogical! You should work for Pixar!

Do I like it?

I LOVE IT :p

Re: Name

No - I don't like Hymeescan - like a vaginal ultrasound :p .
Hmm - Episcan is ok :p

Ehhh - RXcan is too "old style" and too obvious.

I will think of a name in 2 hours.

Well how about this... a name for 40 minutes :D

1) we need a word "scan" at the end.
2) The scan list section of the engine datas. (intake air temp, rev, etc.)
3) Have to have engine into it.
4) Engine is rotary so I guess there must be something to do with it.

The best I can come up with is Rotortome scan. (or the R-scan for short)

Since:

Rotor = rotary engine; and it starts with an R
Tome = sections / part of the prefix (like dermatome - sections/specific area of the skin, usually refer to nerve distribution)

or a Rotortome data scan (RD scan)

I like the first one better though - it is cleaner.

What do you guys think?
