My LCD screen project, boost, WBO2, Knock, etc

[BlackStealth]

New firmware2.07 is up on http://www.lcdboostcontroller.com .
Here's a list of changes that aren't in the manual yet.

Inside the setup config menus:

WBO2 input=none
(WBO2 is replaced with NBO2 in main screen).


Push to toggle
startup color
7 total colors to choose from (Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, Purple, White).


PSIsensor=Intrnl (Internal 2.5bar 0-36.3psi sensor)
=Gr4Bar (Greddy 4 bar pressure sensor)
=GM3Bar (GM 3 bar pressure sensor)


Datalog=Off (no datalog operations)
=passthru (allows external dataloggers such as HHH, Evoscan)
=TxtMode1 (57.6k serial, timestamp, PSI, WBO2, Knock, RPM)
=TxtMode2 (57.6k serial, timestamp, PSI, WBO2, Knock, RPM, EngineLoad)
=TxtMode3 (57.6k serial, timestamp, PSI, WBO2, Knock, RPM, EngineLoad, Timing)
A free program called CoolTerm can be used to monitor the serial port at 57.6k baud (8N1).


PassThru=1953 baud (OBD1 speed)
=57600 baud (HHH, Evoscan)
=15625 baud (Evoscan)


AudioBuzzer=On (Alert audio on)
=Off (Alert audio off)


98/99 3000GT=Yes (support for different rear fuel trim codes)
=No


Test solenoid = Activates boost solenoid at 50% duty cycle for 2 seconds.


Test Buzzer = Activates audio buzzer for 1 second.


Calibration=xxx

Factory calibration can be tweaked for more reliable 57.6K serial connection.
When editing the calibration number, the datalogging port will broadcast a string of
"0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz" continously. If the string appears incorrectly, your calibration number is no good. Generally there are 16 valid calibration numbers, the ideal calibration number is not the highest value but the third highest. A free program called CoolTerm can be used to monitor the serial port at 57600 baud (8N1).


On the "WBO2 PSI KNOCK" main screen, if you quickly press the button it will toggle the display from bright to dim. Pressing again will make it bright again. Holding the button down longer (1 second) will toggle the display colors.


On the "Throttle Airflow" screen, pushing the button quickly will allow you to cycle through the colors faster.

That is awesome, thank you for the writeup.

Mine is from the recent batch, do I have 2.07 installed on mine, or do I need to reflash it?

[CoopKill]

Yes, just received mine as well. Is the most recent flash installed?

You're an animal!

I doubt it, I think v2.07 was created 2 days ago. Someone asked for a metric capability, so v2.08 will be out soon.

Can you explain the text mode datalogging? Does it save to something or export live to a computer? And save in an excel format or what?

Text mode datalogging: The device continuously streams serial information out. To view or capture this serial information use CoolTerm or any other terminal program. Use CoolTerm to save this captured data as CSV. The data format it spits out is in Comma Separated Values (CSV) so it can be imported into Excel for easy viewing.

To answer your question, no it doesn't store or save anything.

Of course it would be just easier to use HHH or Evoscan.

[Goallie11]

It might be easier, but it's not free!

Thanks for the explanation, once I get the 2nd gen in the mail I finally won't feel bad about dynoing my car.

V2.08 is now posted on http://www.lcdboostcontroller.com (it now supports metric units). User Guide is updated with some pics and better explanations. I tried making a video with my camera and it picked up a lot of noise from itself . I'll remake the video again.

Hi,

Will this unit function as a stand alone boost controller? as it currently does not support my Vi-PEC EMS.

Cheers,

Joe
