you couldn't easily do a thermocouple input as you need to amplify the signal first.

i have actually been toying with the idea of making a box that plug into a laptop and log things such as MAP, thermocouple amps (x4), various temps, various pressures (oil, fuel), and throw in an digital accelerometer too. obviously there are already boxes that can do this, but they all are way more expensive then they need to me.

 

actually logging EGT w/ a thermocouple is well documented on the innovative forums. With the spare inputs I have left on my LMA-2 thats exactly what I intend to do.

 

Evo4mad if I might make a suggestion here. It seems that the way to save the setttings now is tedious and doesn't make a lot of sense (unless the long-term goal is to allow the user to have multiple settings saved in different xml files...and even then ).

A better solution would seem to be to have a default xml file stored in the same directory of the exe which comes with the default settings. This would force the program to always load from an xml file on start and probably simplify the load experience into one code path (not having access to the source I could guess how the default stuff is stored ). When the user changes these settings it asks them to save (with the default being of course the default xml file). You can still add in the option to load/save settings to a different xml file but out of the box the save feature would be more exposed. Just my 20 cents .

 

codgi: Maybe you already realize this (I can't tell from your comments), but Evo4Mad mentioned in another post that his build of the installer accidentally left out the extra folder. It was supposed to be there. This extra process is just a workaround.

For a lot of people (real tuners), having multiple configs might be a great idea. Personally, I have no use for it since it's just me and my own car.

 

so is graphing/visualization being seriously considered for the next version?

 

Didn't see the other post so my bad . But as I alluded to in another post this is why he has to have someone full time to test the stuff before he releases it. Thats a pretty basic bug.
