Real-Time Automated Calibration System (RTACS)

[Redline Motorsports]

Serial output (or CAN) is how it will be captured.
The serial port on V2 was put there just for this purpose (and the old OBD-I comms).
Just need everyone to play ball with us now

PLAY BALL!

Ross, can you give a guestimate on when you will throw the first pitch??

First ball thrown - it was a strike

Can't wait to have a play with this with Delco while he's visiting me next week.

WOW!
I just found this thread/announcement. Seems like I walked through a time warp into the future.
Congrats to ALL!!

Cheers,

oh, and Tordne......I'm glad you put the Def of "Tordne" in your avatar. I would bet the cumulative time/energy spent, by all on this site/board, in trying to understand......err...decipher "Tordne" is fairly high.

LOL.. Yeah I figured as much .. It was all I could think of when I had to think of a handle on the forums

Will this work with V1 or will I have to buy V2 as well?

This will work with either FlashScan V1 or V2, as ether tool is able to supply the required scan data stream. The key ingredient is that the RoadRunner Realtime PCM is required.

v1 is fine dude. Its all in the software. RR only supports LS1 PCM's at present anyway. Craig wasnt too keen on LS2 stuff a while back.
I guess he might change his mind eventually. But there is way more variance with the E40 / E38 / E67 all coming out over a short time, whereas LS1 PCM ran 99-05 pretty much.

Could this be used without a RoadRunner to simply allow you to update your VE table without the extra copy/paste step and then manually flash back in?

[Tordne]

The process will physically work, but it won't really work without the RoadRunner. Here's the simple reason....

What happens with RTACS is that the Scan data comes in (as it normally does) and the Tune Tool now looks at the BEN value (using a simple example). Lets say the BE value is something simple like 1.10. Depending on if your are using 'Fine' or 'Course' control it will update the VE Table with 2% or 10% respectively of the seen scan data. It does this so that it obviously doesn't over shoot etc.

This process is repeated over and over and over. The problem with not having the RoadRunner is simple. Because there is no real time update to the PCM it is never actually changing the value. So again using or simple example. If you had a constant BEN of 1.10 and help the cell on a dyno say, the value in the VE would simple keep being lowered as it is effectively seeing no improvement to the tune. Whereas with the RoadRunner the BEN factor should start getting closer to 1.00.

God, I hope that is readable and makes sense?
