beta2

adds distance, trip fuel used, trip economy sensors. (distance resets after 6.6km but thatll be fixed in next beta).

final v1.3.3 will have offset option for ignition timing (some US cars read i think its 35 more than it should be? ie 50 instead of 15. so youll be able to fix that). the next beta (beta3) will probably have that feature in it.

beta3

New features in beta3 below, along with a fix for distance sensor resetting after 6.6km.
#14 Add offset option timing so US users can get correct timing readings
#24 Derived sensors should select dependent sensors automatically
#26 Priority option for ECUTalk (eg so mp3 etc play fine)

Also minor change to delays in between commands, may help people who dont always get all sensors detected? Also minor change to consult reading for gauges, to reduce chances of corrupt data being accepted, eg you see all gauges flick to weird values for a second

ECUTalk v1.3.3 Beta 4 (2007-08-21 23:10:34)

I've uploaded the 4th and most likely final beta build of ECUTalk v1.3.3, beta4. I'm fairly sure all the functionality introduced in these betas now works as intended, though I haven't had much if any feedback from Imperial sensor (Mi/Gal/MPG etc) users. If there are no problems with this build, it will become final v1.3.3.

New features/fixed bugs in beta4 below:
#10 Put font size/scaling for gauges in options
#31 When value exceeds gauge maximum, the actual value should be on digital readout
#32 When you read fault codes without having connected to ecu, ecutalk exits
#33 Gauge colour preview doesnt update till you restart ECUTalk
#35 Save long term trip sensor statistics
#36 Clear trip statistics from sensors
#37 Option dropdown lists are editable on laptop/PC (shouldn't be)
#38 check for port open when reconnecting when gauges showing
#39 Put option in for data flush wait time
#41 If using L|T|R|B settings in the ini file, the gauges arent displayed properly if L is far from 0.

Additional notes:
1) For Flush Wait option, 100ms is default, lower values will give quicker startup times, but higher values might help with some connection problems, eg sensors not showing up, ECU part number not being read, gauges not moving when showing gauges, etc. Eg I can use 20ms on my desktop and 50ms on my 568 Jornada.
2) For Font Base Size and Increment, this allows you to specify a font size, and then the amount of pixels which the font size will be incremeneted depending on gauge size. Eg 6pt + 50px increment on a 200px wide gauge = 10pt font.
3) Also a minor fix to heading names in logs so distance/fuel used have units (KM/Mi,L/Gal)

Spent a lot of work on this one, got a lot of the niggling issues out of the way, the new trip meter sensors along with saving/reset ability should prove quite useful for those with pocket pc/car pc setup Any issues with it let me know.

back in june v1.3.4 was released which was a minor release, just allowing COM10-COM19 ports to be used, and also alternative ECU ID (e.g. E7 instead of EF) to be used.

there is a beta of ECUTalk v1.3.5 which adds alerts - define alerts for battery voltage, temperature, injector duty cycle, speed, airflow and RPM, and the gauge will flash (invert colours) and beep if an alert is hit

ECUTalk v1.3.4 - Changes from v1.3.3 below:

• #90 Allow user to edit ECU ID for initialisation
• #93 COM10 and above dont work in ECUTalk

ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta - Changes from v1.3.4 below:

• #3 User definable warning levels for sensors
• #99 TB45E engine does not have bank1 injectors, swap with bank2

v1.3.5 beta can be downloaded here: http://www.ecutalk.com/downloads/ECUTalk_v1.3.5_beta.exe

ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta3 which adds proper support for diesel engines, including diesel specific sensors, also update to error codes.

ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta3 - Changes from v1.3.5 beta1 below:

• #105 Add extra sequential index column to logging
• #108 Russian language has trouble changing alert values
• #109 Add basic compatibility for diesels
• #110 Differentiate between petrol/diesel (as some sensors are shared)
• #111 Russian Update error codes (for both petrol and diesel)

v1.3.5 beta3 can be downloaded from latest news post here: http://www.ecutalk.com

ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta6 has been released, which heaps of switch/solenoid sensors.

ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta6 - Changes from v1.3.5 beta3 below:

• #18 Display switch/solenoid etc sensors

Of the added switch sensors, 8 are common to petrol/diesel engines, 39 specific to diesel engines, and 39 specific to petrol engines. Each individual engine only supports a subset of these though, around 10-20 on average. ECUTalk v1.3.5 beta6 can be downloaded from latest news post here: ECUTalk
