i wanted to know how the mappers connect their laptop/pc to the ecu's and what else they connect to the car when mapping/live mapping

also what exaclty do they see on the laptops/pc's?

 

perfect time for stus mapping thread,,,,,, STU

 

http://www.motorsport-developments.c...ingextract.htm

have a read of this aswell

 

that is what i call complicated, no wonder stu is the best.. plenty of information thats understandable

dont think i could map though

so the emulator goes into the marreli ecu lets say, then it goes in to the laptop?

 

yes mate you are correct


if you are using an aftermarket ecu,,, say a autonic,,, you do not need the emulator,, and the ecu plugs straight into a laptop
this is the reason why some tuners push aftermarket ecus, they simple havent got the equipment to map the stnardard range of ecus

 

and its very exspensive to

 

ok nice one im doing an 'easy to use' engine mapping software for begginers for my final year project, just getting my head round things..

elo jay

 

easy geezer that coarse sounds interestin

 

Ive popped my old mapping topic BTTT for you mate. Any questions just ask on there.

What exactly are you doing? Writing software? Developing hardware?

 

its not going to be functional, mainly concentrating on the interfcace design on 'my own' product

 

ultimate sleeper,

Want to finish off this for me ????? I hate windows programming

lol how muc you paying

what software did you make that on? visual basic?

 

ultimate sleeper,

Programmed in delphi with a C++ comms module plug in.

Nearly finished now so all the hard work is done. Wish I had known about
you 6 months ago

 

Which C++ comms module is that ?

 

Turby2,

TMS Async32 from http://www.tmssoftware.com

Works VERY well with ALL types of com ports no matter if its on USB, PCMCIA etc...

 

delphi? and c++ iv done a bit of c++ before but not delphi, oh ma gawwwd


do you provide any training

 

Delphi (Visual Pascal) is piss easy compared to C++.

Think of it like VB (visual basic) but lots faster and more compact but
10 times stricter on what you can do with variables.
Plus it doesnt need ANY libraries to be installed to make it run.

I.E. It can produce a single executable file with everthing in it. !
(compared to VB)

Its a perfect language for database applications .... like ecu maps
