• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What is the Learning curve on BUDS like?

I'm thinking of getting a BUDS kit and license.

What is the learning curve like?

Is it helpful in chasing down electrical gremlins, like those posted on the Forum recently?
 
The learning curve is dependent on what you want to do. I don't think its helpful for electrical gremlins. I like BUDS more than BUDS2. But you need BUDS2 for 2017 and up. You should get a downloadable manual when you buy it. Mine came on a disc, so you will need a way to read a disc unless they have changed this.
 
Load it on your computer, hook it up, and turn it on. Not much of a learning curve. The software is very well defined and self explanatory. It allows you to take readings, perform a few setups, and actuate components for trouble shooting. Don't forget to read the instructions for a few details.
