EDIT: RaceCapture and PodiumConnect firmware 2.22.2 – two important fixes

UPDATE!

Note, we had a bit more work to do on fixing the issues for PodiumConnect/Micro – please update to 2.22.2 for best CAN stability and performance!

CAN bus performance and stability enhancement for PodiumConnect/Micro

Specifically for PodiumConnect/Micro, we’ve improved CAN bus reliability when running under a high CAN bus load and/or marginal CAN bus conditions where a high number of CAN errors are observed. We recommend all users upgrade to 2.22.2 2.22.1 immediately to ensure accurate and consistent CAN bus communications.

Fix for setting Bluetooth name/password for RaceCapture systems

Specifically for Bluetooth-enabled RaceCapture systems, we’ve fixed a case where there was a problem setting the Bluetooth name / password. If you are experiencing this issue with your system, the 2.22.2 2.22.1 firmware will address it!
