Sorry I typed on my phone and forgot that everything in Linux is case sensitive . Would you mind to take a video of it working in the MR2 ? I would like to post it on the Raspexi viewer Facebook page to encourage more MR2 users

 

Yes I will.

 

Finally took the car for a spin today with the new monitor mount .

 

Hi! This is the video

 

Thanks for the video . I have already posted it on the Raspexi Facebook page . Thanks for your support

 

Markus... you think how many use Raspexi on their car so far?

And the new project on the raspexi page, what is the improvement from this one?

 

Hi I have no idea about how many people use Raspexi . Maybe 20 ? The new project is coming along slowly . The serial communication has some bug at the moment it works on my emulator but not yet in the car . I am still trying to figure out why it doesn't work yet . The new software will also include support for adaptronic pnp as they where kind enough to send me their protocol . But I think it's gonna be still a while till everything works in PowerTune

 

Finally some update on Powertune which will become a feature rich successor for Raspexi . I am still busy to optimize the serial protocol for some more speed. But it communicates with the car now . I made a short video last night

 

Great work
What features are you hoping to program into PowerTune?

 

Some awesome work here, sub'ing to this thread and hoping for more updates in the future!

 

I would buy this, like yesterday if it were available. A MAC based tuning/gauge view app would be a dream come true.

 

I am working on the successor of Raspexi which would be able to run in Linux/Windows/MAC
It's programmed in Qt 5.7 . You can have a look here :

https://github.com/MarkusIppy/PowerTune


It's easier to setup than Raspexi . Just download Qt 5.7 , load the project and click compile , done .

So far i only decode for RX7 FD3S and the communication is still a bit too slow. But it works already on the car .

Have a look and try it out

 

Downloaded! Great work Marcus,
QT also has software specific for developing automotive applications. Are you currently using this software or have considered using?

https://www.qt.io/qt-automotive-suite/

 

Turned out to be a little too complicated for me to install, Qt 5.7 (which is a 40GB application) wanted me to have a MAC developer tool (XCode) which wouldn't download, and I had no idea what to install from the PowerTune folder and/or how. QT also wouldn't install on tablet, only on laptop.

Looking forward to a final version though.

 

peter, I had the same issue, and ended up giving up this is a little over my head.

 

Well at such time as it's ready, if the creator can walk me through it, I'll volunteer to write and design install instructions for regular people.

 

you're a gentleman and a scholar, peter.

 

Hi Jacob , i can only help with installation on Linux or Windows ( i am too poor for a MAC :-)) .

I will try my best to help you
Go to the page :

Qt for macOS | Qt 5.8

then click on the Downloads page

( if it asks you which licence , choose open source )

Install QT on your MAC

Download the source from :

https://github.com/MarkusIppy/PowerTune
(click on the button clone or download ) save the ZIP file anywhere you like

Extract the ZIP on your MAC.

Open QT , navigate to the folder you extracted the ZIP to .

now open the file called : "PowertuneQMLGui.pro"

THis is the Project file

Then click compile and run and my programm will open .



Please tell me which step exactly you are struggling with

Regards

Markus

 

Doesn't work for me—some sort of error as soon as you try to open it.

 

Hi

Unfortunately i don't have a mac , but i found some solution suggestions in this link

c++ - Error: Could not resolve SDK path for 'macosx10.8' - Stack Overflow

I am not shure which version of OSX you are using , but i hope this will help you .

 

I'm sorry Markus I don't want to hijack your thread but I do have a product available that will run on a PC and interfaces to the APEXI PFC, currently I have it installed in my FD. If anyone wants to take a look at what it offers I have some images but don't have a video at the moment. You can install it on your laptop and run it that way or integrated into the car with a PC. My setup is a PC installed in the car with the dataLogit connected to the PC then I have a 7" touchscreen installed in the dash. This is just my development setup. Future versions will be an all in one. Just wanted others to know that a Windows solution has been developed and will continue to be extended. Just another option for the community.

 

I don't mind at all , can't wait to see your program

 

^yes i would like to see it as well.

 

For anyone interested in seeing my CarTune application for Windows please send me a PM and I will be glad to send you a version that you can use. Hopefully we can get some input as to what features you guys would want.

 

FYI i have been using REVIT93RX7 (jim)'s software. it looks pretty good, but i am working on getting it to connect (i have been busy and have't been able to try more than once)
