Prototype: DSLive Data Acquistion

[yng_750 247]

must be honest i didnt read the whole story as im using as mobile.

is this based just for bmw systems or designed to be entirely universal?

Josh I am near ready to drop the motor in the E34. Point me in the right direction for sensors and switches that are best compatible with the unit.

Also for Gear selector switches is it best to install before the box is put in?

Also have forgotten how many inputs you told me it has.

BMW to start with then to other applications .. (mitsi, slowbaru etc)

Sweet.. Let catch up and we can plan it out.. You'll be the first stand alone test system .. so I will have to re code everything for analogue and probably build a special interface for your tachometer. Good thing is it should make it faster?

Gear selection is calculated ...

Around 16 analogue and 16 digital.

Facebook me and we can take it from there.

Interested in your 'standalone' development and would be of real use here!!

Let me know where the band-wagon is stopping next...

More than enough inputs. I will update the Map ecu 2 to the latest firmware this coming weekend.

I will also look at tapping a temp sensor for the new diff before I put it in.

Cool.

You want 0-5volt ratiometric powered sensors for pressure and temp. Standard hall effect for speed and tacho

You're probably looking at the following and a minimum.

**Needed

Oil Temp

Oil Pressure

Coolant Temp

Boost Pressure

Fuel Pressure

Intake Temp

Throttle Postion

Speed Signal

Clutch Switch

**Optional

Diff & gearbox temps

Brake Pressure via string pot or just have a pressure sensor tapped into the brake lines (this is better).

AFR via wideband

EGT

Battery Voltage

Would be interested to see what the MAP2 is capable of outputting and in what format. The MSS50 has around 25 ouputs and I bump that up with a few external sensors. Youll probably be having to do most of it with your own sensors.

[E30-323ti 66]

Any updates on this??

[hybrid 1043]

Yeah plenty, just nothing to show in public yet ... basically gearing up for a heavy testing seaons with some of the race series guys.

At the moment working on supporting other ECUs outside of BMW. EG Autronic, Link, MAP2,3 etc

Fire me a PM to discuss further .. you probably fit the bill for testing.

I like where this is going. I've always wanted something like this rather than gauges cluttering my interior.

Josh happy to be a guinea pig for your system in a genuine m3 evo s50b32!!

[adz 50]

I'm guessing I'm not the only one, but is there any more development on this? Very interested to see this hit the market!

[hybrid 1043]

Have been working on the GPS part of it.

The lap timer code is proving very difficult to implement because of the real time maths needed. However I now have GPS logging working no problems.

In the mean time here is some more work on the different screens I now have running. You can switch up and down the screens via the buttons.

[adz 50]

Looking good, will it be able to flash warnings, oil pressure etc?

[hybrid 1043]

Yea, has a box around on warm up and over max value warnings on most. Pressure for over and under. Working on other things with the LEDs too. Which I wont give way too much on just yet.

Sorry to drag this one up again, starting to plan out my dash for the rally car, keen just have a tacho in the middle then something like this in the centre console so the co-driver can keep an eye on things to. Is there any progression?

cheers
