Great. That's what I'll be waiting for. I'm locked into using dual LC-1's with my setup. The bank to bank airflow differences under vacuum necessitate taking an average of both banks, as they can differ by over 1 whole AFR unit.

Nice work Geoff.. I'll be hitting you up to convert mine once we're out of Beta.

My original post indicated we would support 4 wide band controllers simultaneously. However, for simplicity I've reduced that to 2xLC-1's or 1xLM-1 + 1xLC-1.

Litterally last month I threw away about 10 years worth of colleted null modem cables - gah! Every nokia or pix I worked on was shipped with them and I had a thing for collecting

Cant wait to ditch the analoge inputs, nice one guys!

We are currently working on bidi controls for Allison (and other controllers). If it is possible to add that feature we will.

FlashScan LC-1 Serial data logging video

Note: "Error 9" displayed on FlashScan's screen is generated by the LC-1 when it detects "Supply Voltage too low".

Way to go... :cheers: ...can you display EQ instead of Lambda...?

(or would I just take care of that in calc_pids.txt...?)
March 10th, 2008

Joe - I think that'll be a calc_pid. If memory serves, the LC1 transmits AFR and Lambda based on the configuration stored/programed to the device. It's still a bit early in the AM, but if I'm not mistaken, the Lambda and calculated BEN should be about the same...

No problem on th eEQ Ratio. I can just make it "F2" to toggle Lambda/EQ.

Will you be able to initiate an LC-1 free air calibration from V2...?

is it not just as easy to use logworks? Or did you go and splice that wire already? ;)
March 11th, 2008

Hey, if it can be done with V2 why bother connecting LogWorks... ;)

And that will give me an excuse to slice up a perfectly good wire... :cheers:

I have just asked B&B if that adapter crosses over pins 2 and 3. I'll post up the reply when I get it.

Paul

You need a null modem, like this: http://www.bb-elec.com/product.asp?sku=9PMMNM

Or this one for $3.00 or so, http://www.trianglecables.com/202671-mm.html

But at $20 each it's not a very cost effective solution.

Yes, FlashScan can do that already :)
It shows "Free air Calibrate" on the screen while calibration is in progress.

Yes, we expect to have at least the same number of PIDs available for BB logging as we currently have for pass through logging.

This and an ethernet cable would do the trick also!

http://www.rogerssystems.com/store/m...Product_ID=430

I think it comes with 8 pins on wires ready to plug into the DB9 connector.

Ira,

I think Paul has found one already, see the last link in this post: showpost.php?p=64483&postcount=37

It's low profile and it's under $3.00. :cheers:

The LC-1 used in the video has the latest firmware, but that was done using Innovate software. There is no way to do it from EFILive, nor would we want to try. Regards Paul

I understand , stay out of the chain of faults , if firmware flash goes bad then it is Innovates thing .
So best not to ruin the LC-1 com then !

something people noticed on the latest firware is random 04 and 08 codes that would clear after a restart. Only experienced the 04 code once myself and the latest version sees the LC-1 ready a lot lot quicker.

I have noticed though that no matter what sample rate is chosen it still seems to give an instant sample, something running via the serial output seems to react to much better?

Well, that's slicker than a ..... well it's really slick. Will that work with a pair of LC1's? hehehe.

What Flashscan serial cable????

This is all GREAT NEWS! I think I'm going to faint! Not so much from excitement about serial wideband (little white lie here) but from all the carbon monoxide I inhaled for the past year messing with the A/D inputs...:bash:

I see you have a double DB9 to use with the innovate LM1 serial cable we already have......BUT...

Does V2 come with a modular phone cord to DB9 cable or adapter? I don't remember seeing such a thing....:nixweiss:

Chuck,

So that explains why you are! LOL!!

Paul,

What needs to be done to incorporate the Autronics System B wide band into this serial format?

If you're going to wait, then look at the last option in post #34: showpost.php?p=64469&postcount=34

That low profile null modem adapter is just pefect.

Small issue with this one, you can only fasten one cable, the other may pull out?

I'm home in two weeks, looking forward to trying this out :)

My experience with DB9 and DB25 is that there's plenty of friction between male/female (hmmm....:tongue:), they won't fall apart unless pulled upon.

But, I think I'm going to make a phono-to-RJ12 as mentioned in this thread:http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....5451#post65451

Now that I can extend the cables i want to mount my V2 visable some where on the dash / console. Is there a mounting bracket available (quick release)?

It was laying in the passenger foot well.

No, we don't make any mounting brackets for FlashScan. It would be a good idea though. I have nowhere to put mine where I can read it in my car :(
