DashDAQ possibilities?

Sure you guys are already aware of this but I just seen this today and
it seems pretty awesome!

Would be great if this could be utilized to use ECUFlash and EvoScan
and being it's open source I don't see why it couldn't. What do you
guys think?

It's cool, but not $679 cool.

Expensive yes, but laptop replacement, logger, gauges, gps.....I don't know, with
the right software available it could be worth it.

If you are going to get something like that, just do it the right way and build yourself a CarPC. I've had one for a few years now. Not only can you use it for gauges and logging, etc, but then you have it for whatever else you want, like GPS, mp3s, movies, games, etc, etc, etc.

If you're curious of how some setups look and functions, just go to www.mp3car.com/vbulletin

Until you can run ecuflash on that, it is not a laptop replacement.

It is very very cool however. The custom gauge design stuff has me salivating.

For now however, my $400 eeePC is doing everything I want.

Keep in mind also that Tactrix 2.0 has onboard datalogging with SD card. How robust it is, time will tell.

I totally hear what your saying. I thought about putting it on the openecu forum and talking to evomad to see how hard it would be to develop those programs for this system. I guess my thinking from the specs is it basically is a carpc and running open source linux with a programmer you could make this do whatever you wanted.

As for the custom guages I keep thinking something like the new GTR...which makes me feel funny inside!

Yea it for sure has potential.

I browsed the dashdaq forums a couple months ago and saw some people are writing plugins to support accelometers and such. Very cool stuff.

If it can basically be a G2X + Evoscan logger with all the external inputs and put it all in one .csv file I would be a very very very happy man
