3rd party Firmware

  • DM42 restoration : dm42_pgm_qspi.zip
  • Generally I find C47 to be sluggish and laggy and although the features are great the User Experience is poor.
    • The Dev. Team seem to spend more time adding new features/functions and don't really care that it's very slow
    • Reports indicate that the DM42n runs C47 much faster

RTC Correction

  • approx. error +3.4s/d = +39.3pm
  • Correction factor C from C = 2^20 P /(10^6 + P)
  • Approximations :
    • C = 1.04858 P
    • P = 0.953674 C
  • Calculated C = -41.26

Put a text file /rtccalib.cfg in root directory of FAT drive with contents:

-41.26
