Data Logging
 

Hehe, any news on the data logging issue of Wolf?

It should be close to release i hope....right? :bigthumb:

*laugh*

that bad? steve from wolf was always very true to his words....
i am hopeful, that it will make it....

In my list of projects to do is a data logging program for the Wolf with Autotune like the Autronic. Basically a reative tuner that looks a the load and mixture and roughs out a map as you drive. Tuning of you timing would be harder but not impossible as all the turbo engines have knock sensors. I use the knock sensor to tune my Version 3 wolf and when they had it on the dyno they told me they didn't need to change the timing at all. After that you could use one AUX input to monitor a modifed knock sensor to knock out some advance. The problem is that the sensor output rapid and could easily confuse the ECU . I built a pulse modifier to run a high Intensity led that glow like a shift light when the engine knocks!

This project is way down the list at the moment as I have 5 other major projects before this.

i was thinking of writing my own datalogger for wolf but have been much to lazy. instead i just use the techedge wbo2 datalogger. oh well. wolf datalogging has been vaporware since these ecus have been around. i dont see it happenning unless someone takes it upon themselves to do it

anyone in illinois with a wolf?

Apparently,the software is comming in for a facelift and should be out very soon. Will be able to view the fuel/ignition maps in 3D and will have datalogging to the laptop....

pardon me if i sound jaded, but this has been the story for the last few years

any target date?? to sound optimistic :)

Well, I've been tuning my car with Chris Greene the past few weeks, and he's been mentioning the software update and the wideband setup a lot recently. Apparently it's set for release this summer.

Chris says in 2 months, so somtime in july it should be available.

hmmm sounds good....

any wideband o2 can be set up with the wolf for data logging?

i got the bosch LSH24...would it work?

look forward for the software.

do we order in advance and send details for the software???

whatever the price i am in....

:)

....counting down to the new software...

i think that the new software will be free for download from thier site when it is avail. i will ask for an update on it next time i call chris. i cant wait either

hey Jeremy...why dont you call Chris up day in day out and keep us posted!!

;) would be nice to have a target date to look forward to.....

wolfy wolfy.... :D

Today I had a look at the data stream between my laptop and the Wolf to find out the data layout. I have found the data for the TPS and for the O2 sensor. I need to find the load,rpm, and tempreature data once I have found all that I may be able a quick and nasty logger. Maybe even beat Wolf to it! BTW it's not that easy, so who knows I may never finish it. But it would make it easier to tune my car though!!!!

Michael Smith

:) i think you will beat wolf!! good luck!!!

we need some sort of data logger!!!!

Today I found the load 1 to 100%, I also found the vaccuum/boost gauge info too(I still need to get calibration data). It's different data stream. I have a lead on the tacho output too but I need to decode it yet. So far O2,load,boost/vac,tps,temp and RPM.

Hmmmm

Anyone out there feel like doing some programming? Required one programmer who has comm port knowledge, I can supply the data format. My comms programming is very poor and I have little time....anyone?

Michael Smith

What language? I dont know any comm port programming, however I have always taught myself what i need to know in any language to get anything done. Gimmi your langage of choice (im assuming C) and ill start tonight

CrackHeadMel,
VB6 is by far the quickest . I can give you details of the port logger and the specific sequence of events. Basically the computer sends 52 20 00 1f in hex to the ecu and the 32 bytes of data returned, bytes 0 to 3 are the tacho(which I haven't decoded yet) 4-5 are the kpa/boost guage, 6-9=? , 10 = water temp, 11-15 =? next line.
16=?,17=load 1 to 100 % = 00->FF,18=TPS 1-107%=00->FF,19-20=?21= O2 sensor data 00-10 only
I can send you data off the list. PM me and I will send my email address.

Regards
Michael Smith

Pm sent.

Michael,crackheadme.....thank you for taking upon you such an endevour! but, may i ask one thing??

WOLF???? JUNE IS HALF DONE!!! ANY PROJECTED DATE FOR THE SOFTWARE????

i mean we have been hearing so much on this wolf software? the couple of months are up...and all is still quite on the wolfy front.

I mean, it's only through the help between us coming from you, nyt, and some people adding an input in the threads that we actually made some real progress!!!

lets hope we wont be let down with the data logging issues!!! it would be best if nothing is in the pipeline that we are toldso by wolf. every one here is waitin for the wolf people, but knowing michael from the posts....ha i know he will beat wolf and make a better job of it!!!

i am still optimistic.

michael, if wolf doesnt release something and you guys havent made progress, ill write an app in C that will decode the stream coming from the wolf. granted it will not be GUI software as i hate windows coding, but will display the format and serve as a base for other programming to expand on.

i have many years of reverse engineering experience and stream analyzing =]

Im assuming wolf is going to do the same thing haltech did

There fancy smancy datalogging / updated gui is going to come with a new version of the ems

-Jacob

Nyt I have written frontends for C programs before but Crackheadme has said he would have a go. VB6 is fast to build GUI's C has fast execution speed thats why I prefer programms written in C and Frontends written in VB.

P.S. The logs I have are large about 20 Meg for the longest.
