It would be good if Flashscan could log the serial data from the LC1 as it then could be easily connected.

Is this possible? Surely if logworks can log the data from the lc1 this way flashscan could be programmed to do similar.

Any ideas?

Its two more wires that have to go from the LC1 to the Cable. To me that is easier then trying to string out a big serial cable.

It might use 2 more wires, but it would actually be right even given ground loops and the like.

Didn't think of that.

V2 hardware yes, current hardware, no.

Hence why my signature was created ;). Will we need forumlas and such for logging serial data or will it be plug and play

No plug and play.
It will require a "datastream" definition that can be programmed into FlashScan V2 that "describes" the format of the data being received from an external serial data source.
It could be a dyno, a gps unit, a wideband O2 etc.

We will most likely set up defaults, pre-programmed into V2, that way you just select the device that is connected to the serial input, the baud rate and you're good to go.

One day in the distant future we may write some software smart enough to auto sense the baud rate and data content and make an intelligent guess at what the source device might be. But not in the initial release.

Geez, now I feel so inadequate with my normal flashscan V1 setup. :oops:
