ELS, Control Panel how to change start setting, starting from metric and not Imperial

[andrea271068]

Good day, James.

Please are you able to assist me.

In the control panel, when I switch on, I would like to start from metric and not Imperial, but because I don't have experience and competence in programming I'm scared to corrupt the code.

Surfing on, I found that maybe this option is placed in: userinterface.cpp

There is this string: this->metric = false; //start out with imperial

I don't know how to change this input, can you help me, please

I haven't compiled the code yet, but changing that to this->metric = true; will default it to metric from the start. It's not set to an initial value in the header, so this is the first place the value is initialized. I'd also change the comment to //start out with metric so you know what you did.

It won't corrupt the code, it's a one line change.. so if I'm wrong, you can just change back and re-compile, or wait till someone corrects me :)

this in line 79? I should type: this->metric = true; start out with metric
instead of: this->metric = false; start out with imperial

yes, based on what I see and my understanding with of the code. Bear in mind, I've not compiled it yet (I'm one of the ones waiting on TI boards to be available). So, forgive me if I'm wrong.. someone will correct me :)
