BB Logging beta update: March 26, 2008

[Blacky]

I just tried a quick E38 BBL session and I still cannot log any DMA PID's. the options file has the following defined....


ECM, ECT, -40:110:1:1:0
ECM, IAT
ECM, MAP
ECM, E38.APCYL_DMA
ECM, RPM, 0:6500:2:1:0
ECM, SPARKADV
ECM, ETCTP
ECM, VSS
ECM, E38.AFRATIO_DMA
ECM, KR, -1:1:34:5:0
ECM, E38.OCTSCL_DMA

But none of the "DMA" pids appear in the log file. I'll try a long-ish log tonight to see if the lock up problem is fixed.

Probably my fault , I just realized we renamed the *_DMA PIDs to *_M. It may be you need to rename them in the Options.ini file as well.
I will try that here as well to see if that is the problem.

P.S. Check the PID names in the PID description files. The DMA PIDs are named *_M only.

Paul,

I have been hesitant to download this update as our tuning workload is jambed. Can't afford to have a non functioning V2. Should we hold off or is it a fairly stable update.

Thanks

Howard

It is a lot more stable than the early releases, I recommend holding off until we figure out the last few niggly problems. Should be about 2 weeks.

I did........

Extracted the zip file and over wrote all existing files.

Formated the config directory and copied all files across to the config directory.

Updated the firmware to 0326

Still no E38 DMA PID's


, too fast for me Paul... I'll check thos PID names right now....

[Ninety8C5]

Strange, I just tested it again here and it works fine. Did you upgrade the firmware to release: (0326)? Did you copy the new *.pmm files to FlashScan?

Regards
Paul

You are right, it does work. In my haste to try the new update, I copied the new config files to Flashscan, but forgot to update the firmware.

[Ninety8C5]

DMA PIDS still don't seem to work. I tried both '-, DYNCYLAIR_M' and 'PCM, DYNCYLAIR_M' separately, but neither worked.

[swingtan]

Good news on the E-38 front!

I replaced all _DMA with _M and dropped the "E38." from the front and they work like a charm! As soon as I read your post Paul I thought, I've read that somewhere before, but had forgotten all about it.

Now, how do I see them in the Scan tool as it still seems to be looking for _DMA PID's ?

Just curious, what do I need to do to pass through the LC-1 data to the laptop? I had previously used the external analog inputs. Do I need to update something in the sae.generic.txt file?

This part?
# Innovate LC-1 WBO2

*CLC-00-932
V 0.0 5.0 .1 "{EXT.AD1}"
AFR 10.0 20.0 .2 "({EXT.AD1}*3)+7.35"

factor 0.0 2.0 .1 "{CALC.AFR_LC11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}"

I've noticed in the last two updates that in the Scan Tool when you go to 'Enter VIN' and want to enter the 'Op system' only a few of the operating system show up when you click the 'down arrow'. I can type in 19980400 but before this all the operating systems were on the list.

DMA PIDS still don't seem to work. I tried both '-, DYNCYLAIR_M' and 'PCM, DYNCYLAIR_M' separately, but neither worked.

My Bad :(

The 97/98 controllers do not report a valid operating system number. The DMA PID's memory addresses are indexed based on operating system number. FlashSCan is not able to correctly identify which DMA PIDs are valid for 97/98's. In the PC based scan tool it uses the VIN to generate pseudo operating system numbers. I have not put that ability into the FlashScan device. Doing it now...

When testing this I also realized that there are no DMA PIDs defined for LS1s or LS2s in the Options.ini file. I mistakenly thought there was and that they were being successfully tested. :(

I recommend adding new calc PIDs to the calc_PIDs.txt file in \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User configuration.
Here's one I prepared earlier:
