nAst1: Progress and Concepts Thread

[robertisaar]

i'll have to do some more digging, but i can only find that 2006 impala one and a really blurry 2006 G6 version.

[robertisaar]

1.07 update. only really ALDL fixes, concerning 3BAR MAP, BPW, CCP/TCC PWM Duty Cycle. next update should have the spark cut rev limiter code along with the T56 style reverse lockout solenoid function at the very least. that last one could be used for other functions if you're running a manual and need something that is triggered on/off only by MPH.

BINs, XDF and ADX, no documents to go along with it. ADX has a wideband AFR value based on whatever wideband controller caffeine is running.

just run the 1.06 to 1.07 patch (and if necessary, the other two patches should you be using their function) and it will be updated assuming you used a 1.06 BIN previously. or start fresh with a 1.07 BIN, it won't really matter.

[caffeine]

I'm running an Innovate wideband, for the record.

[caffeine]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how do I run the patch? Is it a seperate file or is it done in Tunerpro?

[robertisaar]

open the new XDF. now on the left side of the screen, there should be a "patch" category.

[caffeine]

I just open it up, click "Set" and then "Save"?

[robertisaar]

open the 1.06 to 1.07 patch item, click apply patch, apply, save BIN. then it should be ready to go.

[caffeine]

Hmm where will I find the "apply patch thing? All I get is a blank box with a check box for "Set" and the regular save or cancel buttons.

[robertisaar]

this isn't what you see?

[caffeine]

Nope. Do I need the latest version of tunerproRT? I've currently got 5.00.7774.00

[robertisaar]

sounds like it. i'm running 8075.

Another feature I thought of that some might want is to flash the SES light when knock is detected. My friend was running a custom chip on his 95 STI that had that feature.

Any progress on the other stuff?

[robertisaar]

definitely a neat idea, should be easy to impliment too, since it's basically "is any timing being retarded due to knock, if so, light SES, if not, don't turn SES on".

of course, it's always going to be slightly more complex than that in assembly, but that's the idea. the light will come on when knock retard starts to be applied and turn off when the knock retard is filtered out, assuming the SES didn't get turned on for any other reason.



other stuff.... not really. my work ethic sucks, especially when other projects come up, like prototyping a MEMCAL adapter for the 93-95 northstar PCMs(they have 2 64KB PROMs and a knock filter in their MEMCAL, quite a bit different than a normal MEMCAL) and working on recalibrating the boost guages of TGP clusters and of course the 7730TCM project... and the neverending project of "find employment that pays me what i'm worth".... that one takes up a lot of time.

any 2 step progress ?

[robertisaar]

2 step? what is this, soviet russia?

we have 3 step.

and it's been functional for a couple of months now. it's fuel-cut specific for now, but when i integrate the spark-cut code in, you'll be able to choose either for the 3-step limiter.
