New NateChrony v2.5 & Pricing

[NateChrony]

Somewhat painful day but progress...

Cant do anything about the screen timeout - change it in your device configs. (there's technical limitations)
New steadyshot software coming out this week: select decimal readouts, comments on all 4 strings

You can also now purchase a v2.5 --> SteadyShot upgrade from the store.

Cant do anything about the screen timeout

I'm exclusively using mine on a computer now (via the home WiFi) so this is no longer an issue for me. I also don't use the voice callout any more as a quick glance at the display is super easy on a 27" screen.

One other thing I remembered from my short initial session Suppressing the decimal places on the voice callouts is good for muzzle velocity in fps where the number is big and the DPs aren't that important, but muzzle energy is a much smaller number. 11.51 fpe (legal here) and 12.49 fpe (illegal here without a FAC) would both be called out as 12 - hearing it rounded to one decimal place would be a good compromise Again this is hardly critical - hearing the full fpe number is OK.

Forgot to say that I did my first session with the 5.14 firmware recently and noticed that the voice callout for muzzle energy is now given to two decimal places which is excellent - many thanks for this small enhancement!

new v6 software allows you to choose decimals or not.
also voice issues may come in future as the feature is being deprecated/changed in future - will work on it

@BTB 500 for preventing screen timeouts on Android, I use the Caffeine app from the play store. Can toggle it on or off in settings then.

If you have a Samsung device you can also set up a routine that launches Caffeine with specific programs. I've got it set to not time out when I'm using spotify

There's a guide how to use it here:

Good call - thanks.

I hardly ever use my phone now though as I chrono at home within reach of the WiFi, so I access the NC on a Windows PC instead
