hi guys sorry to be a pain again

i know this will be a long list but what would your IDEAL mapping interface software have on it?

 

Blimey! features? Hardware? Monitors?

Define exactly what you mean and i will come along and give you a decent reply, probably tomorrow, as im off out to watch the new bond then into town for some dancinga nd drinking at the syndicate.

 

wooo il be stuck infront of my PC in the computer room at uni

like what you see infront of you when mapping a car on the laptop. What do you need to see and what would you like to see thats not on the market at the mo, that will be infront of you

so for example, you see the engine rpm manifold pressure, you can monitor/adjust the fuel etc what else is important for you to see? and what would you like to see that you currently can not?

have fun with your evening

 

It all depends on the ecu's hardware capabilities and how it will
work as a stand alone device.

Until you have that sorted, you cant design an interface...


When I designed my own ecu, I "looked" at everyone elses, decided
what I wanted mine to do then designed it from the bottom up.

The PC interface was last job which is why I am still writing the windows
version of the existing DOS program I wrote.


Generally all ecu's work in a similar way though...

Wish I had your time and oportunity to do this..

 

wanna swap places mate, i can earn some money instead of being a student

 

final year project?

get the descpro online,, and you will see the best ive worked with

 

I think in fairness there are allready good software programmes on the market from the hard to use WinOLS too the easy to use interface of CMD.
Race is good and has many features if you know how to use them but like most things, its trial and error.
I am happy with Race and CMD, the interfaces are good and practical but they dont show enough maps with many maps hidden away wether it be due too the programmers not looking deeply enough or wether they feel these maps are less important (which i find is not always the case)

Having said that, i think making an interface too easy to use is a bad thing, it would allow any tom dick and harry to get into this line of work without knowing what they are doing (of course you could get the smart alec who says that about me )

If i had to give a good answer it would be to have the power of WinOLS with the ease of use of CMD.

 

The ideal mapping program would have just ONE windows button marked

"FOOL PROOF AUTOTUNE"


It wont happen in our life time

 

the new M5 isnt far off that

 

Gareth,

someone had to set it up near enough first though.... Adolf Hitler i think

 

If they had an "auto tune" button it wouldnt allow differences though.
I think its just about spot on at the moment (until someone comes up with a better way and im left in awe of what ive missed over the years)

 

Chipped UK il take a look at those you mentioned, cheers mate

Bassboy, yeah its my project, it wont be a fully working one - and dont ask me to map your car il end up doing something bad

 

Ditto. It's missing nothing at all actually and thus saves me a reply. LOL
