Nice! Need to port ecmspy to my android phone so I can tune on the fly

that would be pretty bad ass to have megalogging and ecmspy on the droid running constantly in the background while riding

I also would love to hear if you can do it from your android!!!!

my buddie Tedd is an android programmer for the citrix corp but he sold his buells. now has no intrest in the project. I did try to get him to do it. all he said was from looking at the hb++ source it is doable. thats all I got.

congrats on the low cost blue tooth. now you have to do a write up for it with how to's for us dummies. lol

wowza, i started a little buzz

I'm still working on a <$10 solution using software and a cheap embedded systems microprocessor, but it is a lot more work to write the drivers and emulate the serial communications hardware than to buy a chip that already runs it

As for tuning on-the-fly, Mike and I have already proven you can piggy-back on a WiFi connection and tune over the internet. I was in Virginia with my bike, he was in Florida tuning it over the web.

You basically just have to pipe the serial data over the internet connection. You could probably use a cell phone with BlueTooth, and redirect the serial port to someone else's IP address.

Then, just link your bike to your phone, stick the phone in your pocket, and start riding. Would be great for data-logging, as long as the connection can keep up.

perfect instant tuning for me in North Dakota, finally i can get that rough spot cleared up [up][up]

Hmm sounds like something I'd be interested in

Yeah, as long as you know someone who is familiar with ECMSpy.

Really, you can use your internet connection at home. This is the easiest way to do it:

1) Download and install a "Remote Desktop" program (I use TightVNC, it's free)

2) Set up a "guest" account in the software, so the other person can log in to your computer remotely.

3) Make sure your computer is online, and get the IP address. Send the IP, username, and password to the remote person.

4) Hook your bike up, and start ECMSpy. The other person can log into your computer from any web browser, anywhere in the world.

At this point, it will be like he's sitting right there with your bike. You can even watch on your screen while he works with your bike.

It's best to be on the phone with each other, in case you need to start/stop your bike during the tuning process.

dont forget you can use the phone network wireless air card to link to the net while riding. then a person can from the remote location adjust while you ride.
just make sure you are in a area that has good signal always.

note on the fuel maps in ecmspy you dont have to toggle the switch between burns. all other data you do. so you never loose connection.

tim and I did that once if I remember correctly.
I have sent my bike out that way and at the track. full wireless back to the pit. the power of the air card. wired or wireless.

any update?

 

[xoptimizedrsx]

you can use Rf chips also. the low cost 5.99 transceiver chips will do the trick. no firmware needed on the bike side.

Tim:
A good remote server is www.teamviewer.com. just get the noncommercial version. it's free...

from there use the new 4 g network. poof your in.

plus the fuel maps can be changed without the toggle on the run switch. this works with ecmspy only. ecmread you need to toggle. you can even use this to teach others the basics on pretty much anything. even share files directly.

Does the initial post only work if your computer is blue tooth capable? Or does the transmitter work as a wireless network basically?

 

[dodge]

Does anyone offer these anymore? Not sure if I have what it takes to assemble one...

thanks

 

[SnyderJ21]

Are these available anywhere?

 

[wutend007]

Is there a quick wire diag. of this or a underside pict?

 

[uly luigi]

XOPTI is making these, well, maybe not these in particular, but he is building a wireless interface now.

 

[wutend007]

I did see thire on his site, wont be ready till end of feb. and at $70,I thought id try at making this before I go that route.
