Want to log higher than 215*F?
Pretty simple fix.
Since the 8-bit cpu can only read 255 lines of clt data, and some smart guy at B&G though we'd want to read from -40*F, that gives up a max of 215.
Granted we shouldn't ever run close to 215*, but if you want to see if you are, you certain can. The MS will have no clue it's running greater than 215*, but who cares, you will.
The MS reads the raw ADC voltage from the sensor...but MS and convert off a conversion chart. So open up your thermfactor.inc file in the project folder.
you'll have a long line a data points....you should also notice that 255 repeats a whole bunch of times....this is because Easy Therm still continues the resistance values of the sensor beyond 215*. So simply change the numbers above 255 to read 256 257 258 etc...
example, change this:
to this:
You'll be able to now see when you ever hit >215*F. See my screen catpure...I made a record of when my OEM gauge hit 12 'o clock, just before I hit 218*F.
enjoy.

215 is the max in the embedded code. but you can see display it on your laptop and in MLV. so if you were at 250* you could see it, but the MS would still think it's 215. that's it.
in the same discussion i said you could do this...i just went out, go the car warm, remove the fans and logged it to show you guys how.

cool except my Thermfactor data points skip like this:
DB 240T ; 21 199.82
DB 236T ; 22 196.39
DB 233T ; 23 193.13
DB 230T ; 24 190.02
DB 227T ; 25 187.05
DB 224T ; 26 184.22
DB 221T ; 27 181.50
DB 219T ; 28 178.89
DB 216T ; 29 176.38
DB 214T ; 30 173.96
DB 212T ; 31 171.63
DB 209T ; 32 169.38
DB 207T ; 33 167.20
DB 205T ; 34 165.09
DB 203T ; 35 163.05
DB 201T ; 36 161.07
DB 199T ; 37 159.14
DB 197T ; 38 157.27
DB 195T ; 39 155.45
DB 194T ; 40 153.68
DB 192T ; 41 151.96
Does that matter?
and why all the sudden do your values change for the same ADC value Scott?

Scott's values are much different than mine too. Aren't you running standalone Scott?
look how high mine go in temp:
DB 271T ; 1 510.41
DB 270T ; 2 418.55
DB 269T ; 3 372.21
DB 268T ; 4 342.05
DB 267T ; 5 320.01
DB 266T ; 6 302.81
DB 265T ; 7 288.78
DB 264T ; 8 276.99
DB 263T ; 9 266.84
DB 262T ; 10 257.96
DB 261T ; 11 250.08
DB 260T ; 12 243.00
DB 259T ; 13 236.59
DB 258T ; 14 230.72
DB 257T ; 15 225.33
DB 256T ; 16 220.34
DB 255T ; 17 215.69

i was looking at two different thermfactor files when i posted...the one that's edited is what i'm using.
all i did was simply change the last (15) 255s with increments of 1...
and no i'm not standalone...my bias is 1250 iirc.
