beta testers wanted

[steveo]

need volunteers that meet the following conditions, to test a linux based aldl datalogging and display thing i'm working on

- OBD-I ALDL ecm @ 8192 baud
- usb serial cable with ftdi chipset
- something that runs linux

i promise i wont fry your ecm and i'll put you in the credits.

mostly just want to make sure i can adapt this thing to different ECMs, since i only have an LT1 at my disposal

[Montecarlodrag]

I have all that, just today I'm going to tune a LT1

[steveo]

cool, if you feel like giving it a run, it's already set up for an f-body LT1 by default...

http://resfilter.github.io/aldl/

download the tarball there, and there are running/building instructions right on that page.

let me know if you have any trouble.

[steveo]

actually if anyone wants to beta test it WITHOUT a supported car just for kicks or to play around with it, you can do that too.

it has a serial driver that pretends its connected to an LT1 ecm that just spits out a random (but technically valid and checksummed) datastream.

you can build it without the ftdi driver or anything:

make aldl-dummy

sadly no linux here but i do meet all other criteria LOL

I could try, I have lt1 b-body.... any idea if it will run in a virtual machine Linux environment?

[steveo]

oh definitely. virtual machines can have direct access to a windows usb device too, so it should work perfectly well.
