I was riding the RS today when I noticed that the number 3 on the tachometer was larger than the other numbers. Then I realised that the number closest to the actual rpm grows in size. |

Some of the things the clocks do on the R1200 make me think the programmer had way too much time on their hands. I can't imagine how many lines of code it took to make the thing work. As they say in my industry, it's a good thing code doesn't weigh anything or we'd never get off the pad. |

Frankly, I wonder why there’s a numeric tach reading when the bar graph on the display is more than adequate for this purpose.

Zitat von Davidnapo im Beitrag #5 Coding the growing tach numbers must have been too much for the poor programmer - they had to go for a lie down on the day coding switchable km / miles was supposed to happen 😂 |

Zitat von Davidnapo im Beitrag #5 A few months ago, I tried to explain how bad a local intersection was by asking "who has the right of way?" and I followed that by saying "just image the code necessary to handle that?". Sadly, I misjudged my audience. Yes, they were all smart people, but many of them were county seat lawyers. At the mention of "right of way" they heard client fees. When I said "code", they were lost on whether it was "1234" or their birthdate in month/day/year format.... BTW - In Fortran, I would have used a DO-LOOP to write the bit of code. Read the RPM, the cycle thru the loop, change the display size if the RPM is local to display digit.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #13Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #6 Well, yes, I never see the RPM on my RS as I choose the other display option. The RPM does not really matter on a big twin. Mostly, I am only interested in my current speed in the largest LCD digits, fuel range and occasionally the ambient temperature. The analogue speedo is useless especially when needing to keep below a penalty threshold.
