i have ecuflash and the tactrix cable, i need a datalogging software or something good to tune with. its for the IX also, any suggestions for a good logger/tuning device..??



06 EB IX

 

evoscan

 

i registered for it and have not yet got it and its been forever, i cant figure out how, i need to download it and i cant find it....

 

mitsulogger v1 designed and created by malibujack

you can get it from www.aktivematrix.com for free its a great tool for logging.
just my opinion. good luck.

 

V2 is out now. I have yet to download it but, fixes problems in V1.

 

V2 is still under development, v1a (a service release to v1) is available..

You have 3 choices for loggers, all work well..

ECUEdit, Evoscan, and Mitsulogger.. As far as I know, Mitsulogger v1a is the only totally free logger available right now. There is also a developer library that Donour created very loosely based on some early code I contributed called LibMUT if your interested in creating your own tools.

 

MJ, I stand corrected sorry about that. I realized V2 wasn't out, it was simply a V1A.

 

** donour clears his throat

 

I cant believe that someone is nice enough to let EcuFlash be free and someone else can be selfish and charge money for logging software. I thought we all owned evo's and tried to help each other.

 

People love money.

Topic starter: you have a PM

 

EVOscan is worth every penny.

Its hard to beleive after years of overpriced crappy tunes people complain about pay $80.00 for cable and $25.00 for software that is really good quality.

Now we know when we are getting a quality product thanks to these guys. FOR A BARGAIN price.

The equivalent stuff for GM cars is like $600?

 

I wasn't sure if you released a complete app yet..

 

Mitsulogger is free..

But honestly, $25 for a good logger isn't a big price to pay either..

 

When everything in life is free then software can be free too . It takes time and effort to produce (and more importantly maintain) good quality software...and at the end of the day you have to pay for that time and effort. Because MJ and others on here give away what they do for free should be praised and highlighted...but it does not mean that everyone can afford to do so.

Someone can also correct me if I am wrong here...but if you make ECUFlash free, but ensure that it only works with a specific cable which isn't free...then is ECUFlash really free? .

I would say that EvoScan is good enough for what it does but I wouldn't necessarily call it "good quality" software...but I also break software for a living so my standards are pretty high

 

Yeah, he broke my programs a few times..

And although I agree with you.. The Openport cable is a very simple design, and is actually similar to every other non-buffered cable available, only the trick for his cable is he can trigger the bootstrap of the ECU through a terminal control setting (I don't recall if its RTS/CTS or DSR/DTR)

However here's the interesting thing.. It uses a standard Max232 USB/Serial chipset, and the cable is a basic ISO to RS232 line level converter, it is very well documented on OpenECU and is something you can build yourself if you had the time..

Here's the interesting thing, the total in parts and whatnot, is almost what it would cost to buy the cable from Colby, he's doing this as a convenience and also making a few dollars doing it. But because the hardware is also documented and "Open source" you can make it yourself.

The reflash portion of it is proprietary at this point, simply because of how the cable interfaces, but any TTL cable can read/write to the ECU if you can trigger the bootstrap mode. In the past this was done with a pushbutton or manually jumping the molex header..

I Think overall this is a good value, and in reality even free stuff isn't free after you look at the time and effort (if you put a value on your own effort)
