Apparently they're not too expensive either ($127): ><http://www.wolfautomation.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=825&CategoryID=817> can you also get oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp from the ecu ? -might close at $80-90 http://cgi.ebay.com/Crouzet-Millenium-II-Programmable-Controller-88950070_W0 QQitemZ7560423950QQcategoryZ97184QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Is that all we need & some cable harness to connect to the ecu & some bribe to Germain to get his programming :) I am s/w dev for too many years to talk about but have never done any micro-processor work I assume you run the device connected to the ecu then capture the raw data & play it backs so that you dev the program program back at you desk ... I glanced in the Millenium Training Manual it looks like a windoze app that you program the micro-processor via GUI using a graphic with various dialog boxs, can you also just script those in a text editor kinda the way we used dev simple modem programs using the AT command set ?
(looks like he's in canada I wonder if beer would work dont suppose your in VanBC ) |
