Re: DM42 spontaneously rebooting to boot loader

Thirty-six hours and it's still running!

Interestingly, the battery gauge was only one bar down from full. I think I should be trusting the voltmeter or just looking for this behavior in the future.

Thanks again for pointing me straight on the no-rechargable-battery thing! I feel pretty stupid!

Re: DM42 spontaneously rebooting to boot loader

I'll throw some new batteries in it tomorrow and see how it does. That may be it, but if that's the case I've got some distrust over the battery gauge, because it's...

DM42 spontaneously rebooting to boot loader

Howdy! I have an early-unit DM42 I'm seeing some odd behavior with. If I leave it on my desk overnight, when I turn it on the next morning it's at the boot loader screen; pressing EXIT causes it to verify the QSPI flash, and then launches Free42, although it's wiped memory ("MEMORY LOST")....

Re: Best IOS app to use together with DM41L?

The printer emulation [in i41CX+] is pretty slick, and it works well to capture results to send in email or save off to OneNote. Free42 2.5.2 and later, for iOS and Android, let you share the print-out as well – that feature was inspired by the print-out sharing in i41CX+. Oh, cool!! I hadn't reali...

Re: Best IOS app to use together with DM41L?

Another fan of i41CX+. As much as I like Free42, it's my go-to on my iPad. (Free42 occupies first place on my Android phone and PC, though!)

Re: DM41X Beta Programme

Just received mine today. S/N 25. Love the font. The keyboard's better than the DM42 beta units, which is nice.

Need to go grab a cable and find some ROM files!

Re: Firmware V25 for DM1x/DM41(L) units

Yay! for the extra memory! Now I need to figure out what to put there. :)

Am I the only one who doesn't see any difference between the fonts? Press and hold '7', press the 'ON' key, right? I'm sure it's operator error...

Thanks,
Ray
