On another note, could a future improvement add a way to force the "line pressure" and also monitor force current, commanded and actual, on the 4L60e? It'd be a great way to tune/confirm the force motor current tables.
yes. but i don't have an automatic trans at my disposal, so i'd need someone to confirm how all of that works. testing mode4 commands using the custom command interface is trivial, with the side benefit that they're auto-cleared if you just go back to the main page and move something around.

I used to load a database table into program variables using this godawful clunky routine that had to be updated every time I wanted to use some new data. I finally re-wrote the code to a generic routine that goes straight to the table every time I need data. ODBC calls are very fast so storing the data wasn't necessary, it was just the stupid way I first programmed it. I would like to help but starting with an unfamiliar language learning uncommented code makes it a difficult task.
as much as i love databases, with fairly small data sets like this, you'd spend as much time on the database api and implementation as you would making a script that spits out c++ (which is what i did, you think i typed all that crap?). generated hard-code is seriously efficient as compiler optimization can be all over it. a bit ugly for sure, though.
