I have seen apps behave strangely before, so there's a good chance that there's nothing wrong or I am doing something wrong. I tried a couple of things to troubleshoot. I reinstalled the brewbuddy app and reset all of the settings on the phone. It would still crash the app when I attempted a set point adjust. I re-flashed 3.1 same result. I re-flashed 2.1 and it works again without crashing to the desktop. I re-re-flashed 3.1 and it goes back to crashing. I have a 3GS running iOS4 if that helps at all.

Thanks,

Pete

Sadly this is not the case. I have gone through the app tonight and can confirm the errors and conditions. I have modified all the health checks for the applications checks of the data requests to be based on minimums rather than exact count matches. I had removed some a while back, but I found a few more that needed to be updated. I have updated this and will post an update to the app store as soon as I finish testing the application.

I definitely see the issues doing temperature adjustments and have found other corner cases that might have resulted in unhappy application. I recently moved, so I have done all my testing against the demo bcs unit, I think this is a pretty hostile test environment for the application, but it is not the same as the better connections we have when it is on a same local network. I don't know specifically how this would hide any issues, but those sound awfully like self damning words. :roll:

I just uploaded an updated version of the application to the apple store, start the clocks. Apple has been much faster these days, so I am optimistic about how quickly the update will be available. Please let me know if you see any issues, my testing was tricky given I don't have a home network right now to test the application against, and have been using the public demo bcs!

The update hit the app store. Looks like the temp setpoints are working fine now. Thanks!

Took longer than unwanted, I had a rejection for a deprecated API call, so it had to get submitted twice. :-/

Thx for the feedback.

Is BrewBuddy updated to work with the additional temp probes, I/O's & processes of the BCS-462?

It doesn't currently support them, i am going to have torque the UI around a bit to make it do that. I will do so, the release was too fix an incompatibility running the new firmware with the basic 4 probe configuration.
