BB Logging beta update: April 07, 2008

Hi Paul,

Just a question re: the options file specifically for the Holden E38 PCM.

In all the updates now, the default config section for the E38 is set to "PSL_LS2" and I'm guessing that this is shared with all E40 based PCM's as well. The thing is that the Holden E38 does not use the same PID's as the E40 and I'm guessing the US based E38.

Is this correct? At the moment I'm creating a new "PSL_E38" section for the Holden E38 ( as I'm unlikely ever to see a US based one ) and just setting the PID's to the ones that work for me. I'm guessing the other Aust. based testers are also doing this if in fact there are PID differences between the AU and US based controllers.

Yes, that is exactly right.

The Options.ini file included with the beta release is just a sample. It is meant to be customized to suit your own needs.

In the released version there will be a nice drag and drop interface for configuring the contents of the Options.ini file.

But for now, just edit it to create the various PID lists for just the vehicle types that you will be using.

Regards
Paul

Cool, I thought as much. I'll just continue keeping a backup of my current file for now. Keep up the good work.

I went to update to the latest release and after selecting Boot Block version FSBootV2_05_06(0407), I checked the Bootblock box and push program.

i got an error that I think was 0101 and now the V2 just has the two orange LED flashing back and forth.

HELP!

Paul,

Should the 80 say 128 instead...?

; Alarm: Is 5 ":" seperated fields:
;        min:   Minimum value, below which the alarm will sound.
;        max:   Maximum value, above which the alarm will sound.
;        style: Is one of:
;                0 = No sound, No LEDs
;                1 = Low pitch
;                2 = Medium Pitch
;                3 = High Pitch
;                4 = Very high Pitch
;               16 = Illuminate LED 1
;               32 = Illuminate LED 2
;               48 = Illuminate LED 3
;               64 = Illuminate LED 4
;               80 = Illuminate LED 5
;               Add Pitch and LED values together to enable audio and visual alarms.
;               For example, for Medium Pitch and LED 4, use 2+64 = 66
;        time:  Time (in 10ms increments) for which alarm will be sounded.
;        hold:  Time (in seconds) for which the displayed value will be frozen (not implemented yet).

Cheers,
Joe

Umm, yeah!!! Hex shmex who can keep track.

Paul,

From EFILive Explorer, Date/Time tab, doing Set Date/TIme or Set Now spins for a few moments and then comes back with Error $0101.

On the Scan Files tab I can copy log files to/fro ok.
On the Config Files tab I can copy config files to/fro ok.

Cheers,
Joe

I took a couple logs on my LLY. I can now log all my PID's so thanks for the effort to fix this. I noticed that some of my minimum data points seem to be off. I've attached a screenshot with the ones circled I am seeing an issue with. I only am using DSP#2 of my DSP5 OS in this log. I started the log after the truck was running and also took two logs and each log has the same issue.

Can you send the (*.efi) log file to me at paul@efilive.com
Thanks.

Can you capture/save a trace (*.rtf) from EFILive_Hapi that shows the coms after you click on the time button?

P.S. It works ok on the test unit here.

Thanks
Paul
