yes you connect to both connectors? (you can connect only two if I'm not mistaken?
I have my oil temperature as well as my fuel pressure) Markus thank you!

The red cable is AN1 connect your signal cable (+) of the first sensor there
The yellow cable is AN2 connect the ground cable (-) of the first sensor there

The blue cable is AN 3 connect your signal cable (+) of the second sensor there
The green cable is AN,4 connect you ground cable (-) of the second sensor there

Make Shure that the sensors have a linear output between 0-5 V , anything higher will fry your hako .

After that create a gauge for aux1 displays 0-5 v for the first gauge
And another gauge for aux3 for the second gauge

Sounds good Markus !

I just got my FC-Hako and raspberry pi set up and ready to go.
Mine automatically connects to my home wifi so that I can VNC into it and test my source code straight away.
Was thinking of maybe having the raspberry pi upload a log of the data, when it gets into wifi range, to a cloud service so I can store all my power fc's information. (would also be neat for track days etc.)

I am just about to start on the code for Nissan PFC's now, will let you guys know how it goes on my R33, hopefully be done tomorrow.

So I was fiddling around with the MegaTunix Gauge and Dash designers the other day to get a feel for how to design gauges.

Attached are the first ones I've ever made. Not sure if anyone will like them or not so let me know if you do and I'll add them to Raspexi.

They are designed to fit a small screen attached to the raspberry pi and I will also be creating some dashes that will be 320x240 to fit individual gauges for my small touch screen.
(note: the tacho has a shift indicator where the faint circle can be seen)

New Binaries

Hi Gents

JacobD did a fantastic job implementing Nissan Subaru and Toyota readouts now .
He also cleaned up a lot of bugs .I compiled yesterdays source . If you had problems with the AUX readouts , then its because i stuffed up the code . Jacob has fixed it now and the fix is also included in the binaries below

Download link to yesterdays binaries

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwI...ew?usp=sharing

I can't edit my own posts anymore , so i am not able to update the first post at the moment :-( . Which Mod can i contact to enable me to edit my posts again in my thread ?

Awesome news Markus! Thanks to Jacob.

My Pi going to start in one or two weeks now. (big setup with sound system, touch screen, gps, camera rear etc... )

Google code is shutting down

HI guys

Google code is in the process of shutting down
( received a email from google this morning )

In order to keep the project alive i am migrating the project to github

Here is the new project home :

https://github.com/MarkusIppy/raspexi-viewer-linux

This process will take approximately 12 hours

Please do not commit anymore to google code

I have implemented support for computing an analogue value from the auxiliary inputs using a linear equation in the config file.
The updated readme.md file on the GitHub home page posted above by Markus should explain how to use it in good enough detail.
I can't test it, though, because I don't have any auxiliary inputs set up on my FC-Hako. Would someone else be able to confirm if it is working for me please??

Did test tonight , the source compiles without any problems . I tested on the car and everything works perfectly , unfortunately I could not test the equations as I forgot to design the afr gauge correct ( designed the input for 0-5 volts instead of 9-16 hence it did not move ) I redesigned the test gauge now , butunfortunately it's too late now to start the car . I will test again on Wednesday ( it's my twins birthday tomorrow so no time ) . Thanks again to JacobD who works really hard on implementing all kinds of features

Thanks . Should work on your R32 as well , JacobD already implemented Nissan and has a R33 GTS-T himself . It's still in testing . But you can try it without worry . All the software does is to request the advanced sensor info ( read only ) this command is the same for all power FC's . The only difference is the message the power fc sends back . Would be nice to have some people try it on different cars and tell us their results .

JacobD fixed the bug for the AUX not reading .
If you connect anything to the AUX ports it will read a value 0-500 whereby 0 = 0V and 500 = 5V
In the CFG file is already the standard setting for a Innovate LC 1 (set for 0V=AFR and 5V=16AFR)
I have tested and compiled and it works properly now

If anyone has trouble installing MegaTunix then this thread gives a good how-to of all the steps:
Megasquirt Support Forum: How to Install MegaTunix on Ubuntu Linux (all versions)

I know it's for Ubuntu but it should provide some help for Rasbian.
I might add a script to Raspexi to fetch megatunix, install dependencies and compile.

I did a quick and very limited test in my R34 Gtt.
As you can see in the video I had to use a tv, as I am waiting on a new 7" LCD, and that limited me to a stationary test.
the only config change I made was the model setting to nissan.

That's awesome, glad to see a fellow Sydney-sider testing it out.
There may well be a few things that needs fixing for the other models that I added capability for (Nissan, Subaru, Toyota).
I had my screen arrive last week after almost a month of shipping and then it turned out to be faulty so now I'm waiting for a replacement. Once I get that I'll also be able to test it out more thoroughly in my r33 gtst.

I am looking at adding gauges for acceleration, force exerted in newtons, force exerted in G's and a gauge for instantaneous vehicle power in kW. Should be interesting to see how they work out.

Very cool , at least we know know that the RB25 engines seem to work correctly . I will be designing some new gauges and dashboards this week as the ones that I did look very crude thanks for testing
