BB Logging update (March 4th)

[Blacky]

Some good things are slated for the next (and hopefully final) Black Box Logging beta update.

DMA PIDs can now be logged.

The GM enhanced PIDs are being entered into the config files.

LC-1 and LM-1 wideband serial interface is working (no more analog voltage connection issues - yay!).

PLX and FJO wideband support should follow.

Dyno integration is being added - hopefully that is ready for the next beta release as well. The first phase of this will be just to output various PIDs to a dyno so any dyno controller can log PIDs that it would not normally have access to - like commanded AFR, knock etc. The second phase will be to collect dyno data and log it in FlashScan.

The current schedule is to release the next BB Logging update, on the weekend of 15-16 March.

The screen shot below shows the AFR log from an LC-1 wide band controller. Both digital and analog AFR were captured to provide a comparison. Its a large image, in some browsers you may need to click on the image to show it at the correct resolution.

Blue is lambda,
Yellow is serial/digital AFR,
Green is analog AFR.

And for those with "eagle eyes", yes the Console has moved from the F12 tab page to the F6 tab page and the new Dynamic Vehicle Testing (DVT) controls will be available on the F12 tab page.

Note: DVT = Bi-directional controls.

The bi-directional controls will work correctly with high speed logging.
They will be implemented over the coming months for as many supported controllers as we can.

This is all great news Paul.

Looks like I'll need to dust off my fried LC-1 and see about getting it repaired.

Keep up the good work.

If its just the "analog out" that's fried you won't need to get it repaired.
Just use the serial connection from now on...

Status unknown really... I've NEVER been able to connect to it via serial, so I'm not sure what's going on with it. Not extremely happy with the PLX I replaced it with either, as the ground offsets vary daily...

Awesome guys! Cant wait to see whats in store for the rest of 08, but DVT sounds very promising!

Innovate was nice enough to warrant my LC-1 after it lost its mind - both channels stuck in narrow band mode/ unresponsive to programming. Made AutoVE difficult to say the least, but works like a champ now. (although it does seem to "dance" a bit on the reported values - is there going to be a filter setting to control the sample times on the serial on the EFILIVE side?)

[Blacky]

For those of you wanting to get a jump start on the LC-1, LM-1 serial interface logging, you will need to construct a crossover cable that connects the Innovate serial cable to the FlashScan serial cable.

See attached images.

Yes, there already is a filter setting in FlashScan for the A/D inputs, it will work the same way for the wideband input.

We'll just need to be careful not to set the filter too high or the resulting update lag could cause incorrect BEN factors.

Notice in the screen shot that the serial data is smoother than the analog data. So that will increase the accuracy before any filters are applied.

Great news Paul!
