Cool Carputer + Datalogit = PFC Monitor?

Hey,

First off, let me say..... Some projects have come and gone that were going to attempt something like this. Some are (supposedly) still in dev.

All I am looking for is a way to get the data from the datalogit into software such as:

RideRunner
Centrafuse
PCMScan
DashXL

I would like to be able to have display that will give me real-time information of my engine, and allow tuning at the same time (or near the same time)

How can we get this done? What will need to be done? Is there any software out there that will even just DISPLAY this information???

I could go to FC Edit and make changes if I want to, if at least a monitor function is available.

Some people have made "skins" for the DashXL that are the same as the R34 display.. Not saying I want that one particularly but it would be nice to be able to see this stuff a little more "pretty"

If ANYONE has any information, post it here. I'm going to post links to the projects that I would like it to look like:

This man is/was making software for the toyota guys, he was going to try and make one for us, but then someone bashed his skills, and his programming and he basically told us (7 owners) to F' off.

Thanks in advance, and let me know how I can help...

Almost a year and no ideas... I am going to be doing it this summer either way. I'll be cutting a new faceplate for the car.

Are you going to run centrafuse for the front end interface of PC?

yea, that seems to be the best option...

I'll also use the builtin scaling from the EEEpc to make it usable for tuning. I'm trying to find a place for the keyboard right now

The EEE has been gutted and heatsinks have been welded on, touchscreen has been epoxied on as well. It is just an issue of getting a faceplate made for it now. I'll take some pictures as I go along this year.

I tried to convince Kevin to make a version of CoPilot that supports the rotary, but he was really put off by that dick head from before
Last I checked, Kevin was going to stop development of CoPilot completely in order to begin a project that would actually net him a paycheck. Hopefully it's similar and compatible with the rotary, as I wouldn't mind paying to play
