It offers no new functionality that I find useful.. I don't have any interest in the gages or graphing in the way it was done, I would prefer a simple form with digital gages that I can glance at quickly.. The load calculation was not yet integrated, and my wideband isn't supported (nor would I expect it to be) The one major issue I have with all the versions of the software is probably a bug, it frequently gets timeouts (even on my fast laptop) when there is a disk write or something takes timeslices away from the serial interface. He needs to buffer the data and commit it to disk periodically in a different thread so the serial routines don't time out should there be write blocking going on for any reason.

I've been working with Tom Collins from ECU+ to support the MUT protocol in his ECU+ along with load calcs and other tools being added to his already great logging features and software/hardware, and I will be using that or my own logger code..

 

Just FYI, regarding the 'digital gauges that I can glance at quickly' comment. Evo4Mad confirmed that the digital gauges don't work in this release (only the analog stuff). He said he'd fix it in the next version.

I think we need to start pestering him to get the load calc included too.

 

I think he needs to move his project to freshmeat or sourceforge and let it become an opensource community effort and remove the costly dundas gage components. At that point we can get features and revisions out there. You DON'T need external components to have pretty gages, it just takes a bit of time.. And I'd bet good graphing and simple digital dashboard layout would be adequate for all of us.

I'll take function over form any day.. And I can easily add pluggable support for other modules and even VBScript for more complex calculations.. Even VBScript would allow you to call additional functions externally such as user written addons without needing sourcecode..

I just need sample code that all it does is initialize the interface, read the interface, initialize it, and read one data item... Just something simple I can expand on..

 

Has anyone else not yet gotten their upgrade notice? I paid for 0.8 and haven't gotten any info about a .9 upgrade. I don't really care that much but if it was part of the deal when I bought 0.8 I'd like to get what everyone else is also getting.

 

I totally agree with MalibuJack. ^^ I'll be totally happy with .9 + your tool + dataloglab (for now at least). All the pretty stuff is useless to me... Kinda like a gui on linux is useless to me

Dam man you are a stand up guy. Man if you ever come to Houston, let me know, I will take you out where ever you want, strip club, bar, club, track. Preferrably the strip club

 

I had to PM the software owner to get my link email. He maintains a list of email addresses to send the updates to and for some reason, mine was left off the list even though I had paid for v0.8. His alias is Evo4Mad on openecu.org.

 

it might have gotten trapped as junk mail or spam.. It happened on my mail server, I found it 2 days later.

 

Most of my family is down in the Dallas FtWorth area now.. So I'll be heading down there at some point more frequently..

Now, on to the goodies, I'll have a working version of Log Analyzer 2.1 posted by sunday night, I didn't get a chance to work on it today..

HOWEVER, I did finish a working proof of concept logger that I will be using in place of Evoscan, it sucessfully recognizes the cable, reads and writes data to it.. But I have not had the time to test if it initializes and reads requestID's yet.. That comes tomorrow if I have time.. This is a big deal since it will serve as a framework for a very flexible modular logger.. Its actually a proof of concept and will be rewritten from scratch once I get it to read one requestid repeatedly at a very high rate.. I got alot of help and sample code from FTDI..

 

Good news good news thx man. Also for those using LM1 someone else has confirmed it does work. Says it mirrors exactly what the display shows. Got the confirmation at openecu.org.

 

Great

A little donatio0n sent to Aktive Matrix , not much but I got to save for a clutch

 

that sounds strangely famiular... j/k Jack.

 

i think that the AEM widband input is kinda cool, But not sure if it works. I would assume that you have to splice into your rear 02 sensor for it to work correctly right? ECU+ is a great tool though, Any progess on speed density?

How did they do it? How did they connect the LM-1 to Evoscan? I have not tried mine yet and would like to know how it is done.

 

Let me ask you have you ever upgraded the firmware on your wideband? He is using 4.1 and comport 4. and the baudrate is 9600 on the serial cable in device manager.
