BB Logging beta update: April 14, 2008

[Chevy366]

Did you set COM In and COM Out to Wide-02 also?

Duh , thanks that was it , how do you say moron , oh yeah like that !
Did not dawn on me to set the COMs , I was like the V2 has only one RJ45 connection why two COMs , must be for Analog .

Many thanks .

[Hyper99]

No problem
I remembered it because I missed it the first time around

Glad I could help

Was able to test Serial for LM-1 and LOVE it. Can't wait for the FJO to be supported. It is simply awsome. Only issue I saw was the values actually went past 20.9 on decel up to 120:1.1 AFR. Made the BEN show 6.0. LOL

Make sure you turn DFCO off when logging bens.

Here is a thought , make the default setting be WBO2 for COM1 and COM2 , I can see the need for a selectable WBO2 controller , i,e, Innovate , PLX etc ... , but default the COMs to a on state .

From todays experiments:
LLY TP PID does not work on the V2 but TP_A does!
The TP PID does display on the PC correctly.
When logging data it will overwrite existing files without any notice!
(after a reflash to the latest FW I might add)
What are the rules to the names, when is the counter reset?
Selecting LLY Auto does not work, no frames will be logged or updated data displayed.
DVT is pretty sweet! Turning on/off is a little weird sometimes as the setting will remain on even when shutting off the feature (e.g. idle speed)

I have all the above symptoms also except for the LLY auto not working. I use LLY auto for my logs. Do you see any weird frames when playing back your log on the PC?

I did have one log file that was filled with notes rather than data.

Lennart and lakingslayer, the "weird frames or "logs full of notes" sounds like the problem I'm having as well. I've found that repeated tries at opening the file eventually seems to get a clean read and displays "sane" data. I have no idea if the data is actually correct though.

The way the logs look when they open in "corrupted" form reminds me of the first BBL logs I tried on the E38 when the V2 would cause I/O problems between the ECM and other modules, bringing up dash alerts and dropping corrupted data into the log file. This was back around the start of this year. When opening these files in ScanTool, I'd get the same weir looking data displayed as I get now. It's almost like the BBL files don't have an <EOF> character and ScanTool ends up with random data at the end of the log.

The PCM TP PID does not work for the LLY so I've been using the PCM TP_A PID. When I load it into the scan tool and try to display the log I don't see the TP_A PID or in the Data tab. I'm also seeing the same issue as with the April 7th release of the data not reading correctly at some frames. I've attached a pic.

Can you send me a *.efi file that has the random data problems?
Send to paul@efilive.com

Yes, they will be defaulted to WBO2 in the "public" release.

There are two COM settings, one for in and one for out. For example, you may be reading COM data from a wideband, but outputting data to a dyno controller. You can do that from FlashScan's single RS232 connector if you make up a custom Y serial cable.

P.S. The dyno data is output on the serial port now. I will publish the data spec soon.
