can you also get oil pressure, oil temp, coolant temp from the ecu ?

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 )
