^ Hehe, no problem pare... it's an easy setup. Like I said, only hard part is installing that netbook stand. (at least for me) =)

Today I stumbled on a Logitech Webcam while cleaning the house, so I immediately thought... hmmm, maybe this will be of some use :-)

So, after a couple of mins, I got it hooked up to the passenger side sunvisor, and then downloaded a free software that does hotkeyed recordings. Here's a sample:

Oh, the Evoscan gauges aren't synced with the recorded vid, since I'm just using a screencapture recorder to publish it.

- ack wrong youtube audioswap track LOL, gotta fix that -

Pretty sick, even though I'm not too sure I would want it in my car.

^ Thanks, this setup is not for everyone :-). Others have posted much better ones, hence why I call this ghetto.

Anyway, got nothing else to do today... so I played around with a new custom gauge layout:

^ It seems laggy cuz the screen capture utilty I used is also laggy... also on those videos, I was logging a lot of stuff that is not actually needed to be on the virtual gauge layout. The more things you log and display on each virtual gauge, the more laggy the gauges will be. Also it depends on what netbook/laptop you use... the one I have mounted is an older model AcerOne w/ the Atom processor (which is decent, but lacking in performance). Running extra stuff on the background also affects performance (ie. my USB in-car webcam).

When I really want to log and get better resolution plus realtime-like performance on the gauges, I only log important stuff (ie. boost level, RPM, Load, TPS, knocksum, speed)... and the virtual gauge layout only displays knocksum & boost. It's very smooth when you only want a couple of gauges functioning on the screen.

How accurate is the AFR using Evoscan?

AFR is as accurate as the input from the Wideband. If you are talking about the AFRMAP that is a calculated field by the ECU.

Evoscan enables you to log both AFR MAP (based on your ECU's tune) and actual AFRs (based on a wideband, if you install one). The AFR MAP is not a necessary thing to log cuz it won't give you the real AFR anyway... but the wideband is a must if you can get one installed.

Everything that is logged on Evoscan (and what you see on the virtual gauges) gives you the ability to see what's going on from the ECU's perspective. For example, if the virtual guage reads boost at 20psi... that is how much boost the ECU is reading from its own sensors (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If you have a real boost gauge hooked up with its own sensor, then it maybe reading a different value (which maybe more accurate than the ECU's reading)... but it could also be the other way around. Important thing is you are seeing info based on the ECU's perspective (as the ECU controls your engine, and reacts to problems based on its programming), and to me that's a better tool to have.
