Power FC FC Tune preview

Why not have a customizable screen with sensor outputs that could be used as a gauge cluster. It would be much cheaper than using anything else that is currently out there now ie defi, stack, sdl. Let me know if this would be possible.
Thanks
Thanks
I would like to stress that this is a completely seperate project from FC Tune, and is in no way in competition with FC Tune. I have the commications layer working and most packet data decoded however a few things are holding me up at the moment...
I'll start with command 0xDA (Commander Display Data)..
FastHatch.. I have most of the values decoded except for boost. Can you give info (formula) for how you convert from short word for "boost" value to mmHg's / kgcm^2 representation? Many thanks..

Is there any info people like me can provide to assist in adding support for more vehicles?

P.S.: You can also email me calibration (.dat) files.

Hey FastHatch you might look at my post above (re. converting bytes for boost to mmHg / Kgcm^2). Any help would be much appreciated.. will save me time having to take samples.

E.g..
boost_val = byte1 + byte2 * 256
if (boost_val > threshold) {
boost_val = (boost_val - threshold) * 0.01
} else {
boost_val = 0.01359 * boost_val
}
This method is not yielding expected results for me, so I assume I'm on the wrong track. I have the following q's for you FastHatch..
What have you found "threshold" value to be?
What equation have you used to show mmHg or Kg/cm2, once the value is known?
Thanks for the reply, and your input on this is very much appreciated.

I thought i give a little update. The next version will not only be in English but also in German and French. Spanish, Italian and Japanese is also planned.
Additionally for every menu item, button, cell etc. there will be a tooltip which describes the setting.
I know that most users on this board here are very advanced, but a lot of users have no idea what 'injector overlap' is. Especially if english is not there first language.
So instead of writing a manual which most users doesn't read, is always outdated and not maintainable (especially in several languages) i decided to make tooltips instead.
Any help with translations into other languages is appreciated.
(Thanks for the french translation, Jon)

Fast Hatch, great work so far. you have really done alot being a one man coding show. I cant wait to get one of these. I been holding out for your as I dont want a datalogit
can you have setting to turn on and off tool tips. after you use and learn a program I would get tired of tool tips popping up over every thing you mouse over.

Some infos about the progress i've made in the last days:
FC Tune will have the same look and feel as Office 2003, finally got the library and license
If you look on the following screenshot you will not only notice the new look but also the tabs above the workspace:
When i've started working on the import function for log files i run into one problem, if i open a RX7 data file and then a Honda log file, what should the app do? Close the data file? Prompt that the log file can not be opened? What if the user wants to open more than one log file to compare them? I hope everyone likes the tabbed solution as much as i do. It's now possible to open infinite files, no matter if data or log files, Mazda, Honda, Subaru or whatever. In the future it will also be possible to view files side-by-side as well as a comparison function.
If you look at the caption of the pane on the right you see a "pin icon":
If you want to edit a data file and need the working space, just hide the panes,:

am I missing something
Actually it's too much work for one developer but I try the best. You can buy any of the availabe boxes and use it with FC Tune.
what do you mean other boxes. I thought there was only the datalogit box?

If you, like me, only check the switches when you install a PFC, you may prefer this:
Maybe you don't need the description and prefer this:
Or this:
An other option i will add is to have only a few selected switches in the channel window.

Very nice work FastHatch...VERY nice...
Is there any time window in which this programm will be available?
I'm definately looking forward.
I notice you are in Germany? Are you German by nature or are you American, but stationned in Germany?
Sorry for the off topic
