Ok - I may have failed in my ability to search here:

But if I fit on a pair of 29F010 chips into some pre-soldered sockets (instead of standard 28F010), do I need a different flash script for the BDM interface? Or just plough on with the usual 'flashT5'

Cheers!

Check the datasheets for both the old and new parts. You will probably require a different flash algorithm.. Most flash chips have different commands and timings.

Yeah -thats what I am trying to work out - Will do some more reading on T5Suite...

ok - just a quick post to make clear the virtues on Canusb. For those using it, they will know but I've had the most tuning rewards to date with this thing! And it's only been installed for 3days.

1) You just just start logging when you drive. Hooks up to the PC in seconds. Logworks output is slick.
2) Upload a map to Sram on the fly - i.e. you decide a new boost map - edit in T5 suite and it's loaded in about 40seconds.
3) You can log EVERYTHING that the ECU can give.

It's fantastic for my ignition map 'adverture'

Do a what run, then review the log. You can see the requested boost, actual boost and actual ignition advance. Go back to the ignition map and you can find the cell it's running in and compare.

You can then advance the ignition in that cell (or a few cells near it) and do another run. If you go to far, the knocking levels will increase (you can view per cylinder) and the ignition gets retarded and won't match the cell target.

The alternative is you just pump up the 'Global Ignition Offset' by 10 as this adds 1 deg to the whole map. You can then pick off the areas that are not happy and drop them back down.

So far I have managed to wreck the ignition map I had but until you push it a little you don't know where the limits are. Now I know and I reckon I can have it 100% after another couple of runs.

Anyway - that's just one example of something fun that will give real results on the road.

I measure AFR seperately but I can feed the V out from the Wideband controller to a pin on the ECU and then log that back into the T5 setup - this would be the icing on the cake but I'll do that later.

yep - always do the icing last when making cakes.

sounds like it would be worth getting this working when the time comes!

Oh, this sounds interesting - my innovate wb doesn't log RPM, but if it's possible to read the wb value through this back door, that'd work as well

The innovate has two analog outputs from what I can tell, and they can be programmed to do a linear 0-5v (or whatever) or to simulate a narrow band.

The innovate enables you to use your wide band as a narrow band and hence you can use one lambda sensor for both outputs ( i.e. the ecu can run off the narrow band signal ( one of the reasons it,s so god dam,t expensive) - thing is the AFR output becomes an extrapolated value. The iceing is as Faero points out and you use the wide band signal. I think you would be able to input both values to the ecu then select which signal you want to output.
I ain,t tried any actual map changes yet, i,m still tricked watching all the screen gauges outputing. I thought Mark Gibb,s dual touch screen monitors built into his car was a bit of bling - but i,m converted - I desire an inbuilt pc with a monitor up on the dash to replace any / all other gauges

no problems on fitting it for you norman ........just give us a shout! oh a TD04 turbo is away to get blinged up!

good man - i,m due my annual bonus - since my new speakers ain,t going down well could you price up what I need ? - i,d like to fit the monitor up on top of the dash if that can be achieved -making brackets / housing is not an issue
folks - you get so much data from this thing you really want to think about a permant monitor which you can see whilst driving ( dam,t difficult with a lpatop on the passenger seat)

no problems norman , drop me a line and we can chat about your needs?

slightly off topic, but i reckon this: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... 108676.htm looks super cool as a car PC.

Apparently, it boots up in seven seconds (although I don't know how the express gate technology works) and only uses 20W of power

One of the main reasons I haven't bothered installing a car PC so far has been the boot time - couldn't be bothered to wait for a minute or two for a PC to load up, but if it can now boot in 7 seconds, I might be tempted
