WTD: Someone who can code NBT EVO in the south east

As above really, try as I might, I can't find a machine that can do it without E-Sys complaining about 'running out of memory'.

Despite having a laptop with 16Gig of RAM, fucking around with Java settings plenty of times and all sorts, I just can't get the bloody thing to work. I've coded everything else I want to but can't code the headunit.

Cheers!

That's not me I'm afraid. It's easy enough to do it yourself though, I just need someone with a laptop that is known to work with NBT Evo because try as I might, I just can't get mine to work!

Have you increased the default memory (512mb) in esys? Look in the settings tab in esys. Try doubling to 1024.

I'm coding off a ancient laptop with just 2gb ram.

I STILL need a new reliable laptop/device to code - mine have just become so crap it's unbelievable.

Talk to me about this 'little Surface 3' - being a Mac person I have no knowledge of that kind of thing, recommended for the job?

Planning to clear out the garage today and I have an old micro PC I was planning to try.... laptops literary make my blood boil!

The Microsoft Surface 3 is a small (slightly bigger than an ipad) windows 10 tablet, available with a clip on keyboard for under £400 used for the 128gb/4gb version. New ones don't appear to be available now as I guess they'll release the surface 4 soon.

I have tried everything, adjusting Java heap sizes, running in different modes, trying different laptops, nothing seems to work for me

Anyone know anyone in the south of England on this forum who can code?

I am working 18 hour days at the moment and really don't have time to muck around with this myself.

Appreciate anyone's recommendations.

Thanks teaston - might have a look at one of those.

The compatibility drives me crackers, for years I used an old Dell machine which coded just fine but struggled to start up! Since, I've tried new Dell, Toshiba and Sony with varying degrees of reliability; memory out, now ZGW connection (power management?)...

It's such a simple program, it just shouldn't be difficult!

That is strange, it always worked perfectly on my wife's ancient 4gb ram laptop too.

So I cleared out the garage last week and came across the old ultra slim desktop I knew was kicking around.

Started it up this afternoon and despite my horror that it has Windows 8 on it I managed to download Shawn's latest software and code my wife's 135.

It worked so much better than all the laptop devices I had before and I can stand in the comfort of the garage with the car outside and code away. Much better.

I just need an ethernet coupler now so I can extend the cable, was a bit tight today.

I'm in Farnborough so not too far up the M3 for you.

Tengo needs a couple of things coded too so perhaps another meet on the cards?

Where is he based?

In simple terms, is there a list somewhere of whats available to be coded?

I saw a list before but was all in techno jargon lol and didn't really understand it.

Want to see what I would like done to my car and whats available.

I've dropped you a PM with my email address.

Terry is in Herts but passes occasionally on business I believe.

Just realised you were the OP and got raided

Drop me a PM with where you are and we'll see what can be sorted - I'd love to see your car...
