Switch preheat from temp to punch

[Lisko]

Hi all I'm a new owner of a vapecige vtbox 250c from two weeks and is my first dna. I'm very happy with it and love its performance and customizations options. I'm learning the powerful theme designer by looking at some skins. In escribe on a temperature sensing profile you can switch the preheat from temperature to punch. I couldn't find a a way to get and set the preheat type within a skin. Maybe I just overlooked it so I'm asking here.

They're the same preheat type,  just slightly different ways of adjusting it.  You can show both on the same screen in your theme and you'll see that adjusting the punch changes the preheat temp (by about 8-9°C per step).

Well, the display of the Preheat temperature is quite interesting, but to set this directly seems pointless, since the chipset works in fixed increments.

As far as I interpret the behavior correctly, these steps are dependent on the set target temperature, as well as the exceeding of the TC target temperature in Preheat is not possible - even if the direct temperature input suggests something else. There is a direct dependency between Preheat-Temp and Preheat-Punch.

So I decided to optionally display the preheat temperature (assigned by the chipset) - but the setting is done as a preheat punch.

Should someone explain to me in an understandable way that my explanations are wrong, I will go back this step, of course.

 

In the following standard topics, I have added a screen on which these dependencies can be observed well:

If you want to switch between temp and punch within a skin - some of us have implemented this, mostly based on the theme of Frank65. Look at the "Preheat" screen here.

Привет! Температура предварительного нагрева, это отдельная настройка, которая не зависит от настроек температуры катушки и может настраиваться с любыми градациями. Эта настройка малоэффективна из за того, что в ней не корректно используется приращение мощности и как следствие за 1 секунду катушка просто не успевает нагреться до нужных параметров. Настройка температуры предварительного нагрева очень хорошо работает в случае понижения температуры и очень неэффективна в случае повышения.

P.S.

gwyar, я по-прежнему восхищен Вашими работами и Вашим глубоким пониманием темы дискуссии.

Gwyar you are right the preheat temp even if set > of target temperature will never exceed it. I just looked at device monitor. So for me the best way is to set the punch directly and only show preheat temp for clarification. Thank you.
