However, as some PC's serial interfaces dont work with the kind of software I am developing, I have designed a multipurpose interface that allows any pc to talk to an L8 or P8.
This is a USB interface speciffically designed to talk to weber ecu's removing any incompatiablity issues as sufferred by the MSD/RP Labs software.
This has a RS232 interface so could be adapted to do what you need, however, I dont know much about that product you mention but will have a looksie
This interface, design and run time code will be available for anyone to build themselves once my software is released.

Seemed fair of him IMHO
I'll find the thread For you if you still don't remember doing so?
Gnu = with source code, for those not familiar with the term.
I have to admit I did mention the term GNU without actually understanding what it fully entails ages ago.
However, I stand by my reasons not to issue the source code so it will be FREEWARE which does NOT have to have source code available.
(Truly freeware as no registration or adverts will be imposed or required)
It is my project so will decide on its use, not you or anyone else.
The software will be given away free of any charge and the source code will remain mine.
I wrote it, I spent the time on it and I want to prevent anyone taking advantage of my work or publishing bad or buggy versions.
As I said before, the source code could be used to break others encryption methods very easily so thats another reason not to issue it.
I dont see what the problem is as if I was ever to try and profit from it, I am sure you and/or Stu would be the first to complain

Exactly

He's not trading if he's willing to give it away for free regardless of how it's given away.
I have no desire to trade on this or any other site.
I am a development engineer only now and have been for 5 years now.

Yep, he wants the source code him self to take advantage off or pick holes in for what ever reason IMO
Anyway, as I said above, I am going to send Stu an email to clarify his and my positions and see what happens.
