i have made a small piece of code for that job, but i don't have the time to write a plugin which could retrieve these data. So feel free to make one and then we could test that.

Here is the modified tpms.dll (zipped version 0.4.3.4) Attachment 686

Did you change any other thing in 0.3.3.4 or only comunication with other plugin?

Hello Dejan,

in 0.4.3.4 i have changed CF_plugindata and skin and language file handling
so it should better be synchronized in case you change language or skin in the main setup.

I please you NOT to use it before we tested the reliability.

Hope that helps.

First of all...awesome plug-in!

Quick question...do you have to be on the TPMS screen to receive the alerts about pressure or temperature? Or will they come through to the main screen (or any other screen you happen to be on)?

[wolfgang928]

Hello Habious,

in case of an alert, the TPMS plugin screen comes automatically in the forground an will stay there up to the moment you click <Quit>. Then you can close TPMS screen and reach again the other parts of CF.

Hope that helps.

I think that answers my question.

So, the TPMS plugin is always monitoring and will sound an alert...no matter what screen you're on. Correct?

YES !

You can only disable this by setting this plugin to inactive using SETUP dialog.
But perhaps --> :rtfm:

Hi,
I can't answer you because I don't have all material. When I have it I will tell that I have completed boards and then ask me for prices(by PM)...

I realize this isn't DIRECTLY related to this thread, but I was looking at the TPMS add-on kits, and was wondering, how do you add those sensors to the tire? Is it something a professional has to do? From what little I know, it looks like it slides in from the inside... is that correct? How much work is it to add them to your tires? Also, as I understand it, you need to build your own custom hack box to actually send the data to the computer? Or are there existing solutions for that out there too.

Hi,
All that you need you have in kit when you buy it(3rd Eye TPMS). You most have alloy without tires and then you take out original valvelet and change it with new from kit, then you put sensor on valvelet and take alloy with tire to auto workshop they must put tire on alloy and centre weight of tire...
Thats all Nothing special
