Default New L6/L8/P8 Pectel Monitor Software Development

Hello All,

Following on from this thread.... https://passionford.com/forum/showthread.php?t=266269

I will start the story again for those who dont know...

I was going through some old stuff from my old product developments and came across a file I had forgotten about.
A whole load of information regarding weber ecus and in particular pectel versions of those ecu's I have researched in great detail.
This seemed a great waste as I spent alot of time gaining the information and it is just wasted doing nothing.
I found my self with some free time in the evenings and have knocked up this program.
Also, I thought it would be good to develop this openly as to allow people to suggest changes/features as everyone has different needs.

Here is a qucik screen shot so far...




You may down load a demo version here..... http://www.s8ecu.co.uk/FPM_DEMO_211108.zip
(This is a zip file, best create a new folder yourself and run it from this)


Its basically a PC pectel monitor but this program is so much more than that.
This can be used as a diagnostic tool, Data logger, digital dash board, alarm monitor etc...
Also, will have some live mapping features above and beyond what is possible with the standrad pectel type monitor. (Subject for another day)
Also, I intend to add extra intefaces to allow other sensors such as EGT, Speedo etc...

The user can customise the screens exactly as wanted and save the layout to one of 10 storage settings for easy recall.

Each display item can...
1) Be resized by dragging the corners.
2) Be moved by dragging the window title.
3) Turned on or off by selecting them from the displays menu.
4) Change colours by right clicking any item.
5) Enable/disable background image blending (transparancy)
6) Allows a user image to be used as the background
(Put your own JPEG (.jpg) image called BACKGROUND in the same folder)

The scope item cannot be changed much at present as that is what I am working on.

I intend to add other types of graphic functions an displays but the aim first is to get it as a working entity on a car and add new displays and wanted features due to popular demand...lol

Also, I will add other vehicle communications to it such as OBD2 etc...

The program above is a demo program and will not communicate with a car as I have disabled that for now.
When you select the ONLINE fuction, it will simulate some data to show you how it will look when a car is actually connected.
This data simulation is far from perfect but you will get the idea of how it works.

If you try it out and find any bugs or have suggestions for features or modifications the please feel free to comment on this thread.
Please do not email or PM me about this software.

I intend to update this thread every few days for those interested.

When its in a reasonable working state, those who have contributed here may have a copy protected limited version although you will have to make your own interface cable.
I may ask one of our resident loom makers to supply these at a reasonable cost for these people.

I have no idea or plans on how the final software will be published at this point in time but should it ever be comercially available, I will only do this via offical PF traders otherwise, it will be FOC.


*** THE SMALL PRINT ****
I will say now, this is NOT a for sale advert.
I am developing this software at this point purely as something to do.
You may down load it free of charge.
I offer no waranty/guarantee or timescales for completion.
You may down load it at your own risk although I have fully virus checked it.

Enjoy
