Wanted: E34/E36 IT Nerds to help

[jochen 4]

Well I'm adding support for E31 in NavCoder at the mo

Which means E34 and E36 should also be supported, because they are the same generation...

So I'd like some computer types - those who understand bits, nibbles and bytes - to try out NavCoder on their E34 or E36 ibus and let me know what they see!

Ideally you should have the large OBC (MID) with all the bells and whistles, because that is the easiest to decode

Who is willing to help document the databus?

You need to be willing to focus on one message - eg door status - and document the opening and closing of doors, boot, bonnet, sunroof, fuel filler, etc.

We can also look at some diagnostics data as well....

sh*t I really need to change the bulbs in my OBC!

[JFry 1]

I've got the 11 button OBC, would that be good enough?

More than willing to help Jochen, but don't know if I am technical enough. If you can give me specific instructions it shouldn't be a problem. 11 button OBC here too.

i have the "full" obc and would be interested but not up to your level...

Well here's how:

NavCoder shows data like this:

31.01.2010 15:09:11.812: 09 04 02 81 00 8E

31.01.2010 15:09:11.812: ZKE2 --> EKM : Door status, Data="00"

Here we have Door Status, 1 x Byte

A Byte is 8 bits

Doors are generally bit mapped

So we can record 8 x on/off states

EXAMPLE:

---- ---x : Drivers Door, 1=open, 0=closed

Not that hard... very simple really...
