BB Logging beta update: April 07, 2008

[Blacky]

I think I'm in the same boat as this guy. Is there any way to recover? Explorer does not see it being connected.

HELP!

There is no recovery if EFILive_Explorer cannot see the FlashScan unit.

Please send it back to Fish Tuning to be reprogrammed manually.
Contact details for Fish Tuning are on our resellers web page.

Hi Paul,

I just tried some logging on the E38 using the DMA Pids. As soon as I try to log data or display data I get the following message...

Node: ECM
PID: APCYL_M
is not supported,
please de-select it.


Did the DMA PID's change names again? I checked the PID description file and it seems to be correct.

Paul,

I performed the most recent bootblock and firmware update flawlessly. However, I keep getting error $0194 when copying to the config file in efilive explorer for BB logging. I format under the config files tab as usual after a firmware update. I select all the files in the explorer tree under efilive/V8/EFILive_Hapi/Config and drag them all into the bottom window. Everything is fine until it tries to copy T43-A.pmm and then it flashes error $0194. I've attached a trace file. Thanks for any help.

My guess is you're copying too many files and filling up the CONFIG file system (its not very big). I can see old *.pmm files that should have been deleted. I recommend deleting ALL *.pmm files from the Config folder on the PC. Then re-extract them from the latest zip file. Then you'll have just the latest set of files - without old files from previous releases.

It should be ok, what operating system is your E38 controller running?

Paul, here is the trace file attached...
.

When you send a new time to FlashScan, if that new time differs from FlashScan's time by more than 1 second it will update the flash memory with the new time.

When you attempted to update the date.time did the blue LED come on? (i.e. indicating that it was updating the flash with the new time)
If it did, it may be that it took longer than 5 seconds to write the new time to the flash memory (although I can't think why it would take that long).

Thanks Paul, works great now!

Are you copying the Options.ini file to the [Config] tab page? I've been caught a few times copying it to the [Scan] or [Tune] tab pages - that will cause no vehicle options to show up.

You don't need to be connected to select a vehicle - so long as the Options.ini file is in place.

Glad the boot block update worked. Two have failed so far. I won't know what the problem was until I get them back here for dissection.

Paul

Oops, havent been copying the Options.ini file, just the 2 *.pmm ones. Ill try that tomorrow.

[joecar]

Do we need to copy all the .pmm files to the Config tab, or can we just copy the one(s) that pertain to 1 vehicle (e.g. LS1B_A.pmm)...?

Edit: see my Options.ini file in my next post #40...

[joecar]

Paul,

On the V2 menu, instead of saying "Select Vehicle" it should say "Select PID List".

For example, in my Options.ini you will see that I have different pid lists for the same vehicle:

; PID Selection List
; ----------------------
;
; Node:  Is one of PCM, ECM or TCM (use "-" for external PIDs).
; PIDs:  Is one or more "|" seperated PID names. The first valid PID will be used.
; 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
;              128 = 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).

; PID Custom Units
; ----------------------
;
; PCU specifies the controller and PID for which to define a custom unit
; Caption is the caption displayed on screen during BB logging (8 characters maximum).
; Prec is the number of decimal places to display
; Units is the display units name.
; Op is the operator, one of:
;   * = multiply
;   / = divide
;   i = invert_then_multiply
; The metric value of the PID is multiplied, divided or inverted then multiplied by Factor.
; Offset is then added.
