Thanks SCO for your reply.

So no trigger channel and threshold value (e.g. RPM and 4000) to start logging then?

By user-configurable, I meant that one could select which channels are displayed and how (size, colours, ...).

Thanks,

Fabrice

Ditto - if you need some beta testing for running aganst the harrison canscan let me know

Cheers,

Incorrect... We are planning to have a user configurable trigger for start and stop for logging (e.g. start logging at 3000 RPM and the stop at 5000 RPM) in the intial release.

You'll be able to select what channels are displayed and how they are displayed... the amount of configurability of how it looks will depend on how fast the development progresses in the next couple of weeks. However, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of configurability we already have.

Great stuff SCO!

I tried my Hymee CAN OBD tool on a European Diesel Mazda 3 this morning and it managed to read a lot of engine related parameters. Interesting!

Where do we buy the Hymee CAN OBD stuff?

We haven't made an official release announcement as yet. We have a few units in the field, and are currently finishing the software implementation.

Cheers,

Me again - it's been only a week, but my drool factor is getting bigger

I'm going to be adding the RX8Garage.net AV S-Video Box to my 8 soon, and one of my inputs will be a PC that will display on the NAV screen. With your Hymee Logging Software/Hardware, I should be able to display your screens on the NAV :D So, I'm curious as to how to become a Hymee Enhanced customer? Will you let us know when this package will be ready? Are you a forum vendor yet? Can you post some more screen shots of your latest version? I hear it is looking sweet. Thanks

sco

Nemesis8 - we're right in the middle of sorting a heap of things out and once we've done that we'll post some news.

I'm going to be putting a LCD touchscreen in my car with a live feed from the on-board diagnostics and I may create a different version of the software to suit this scenario.

Thanks - OK I'll hold my drool till all is ready

sco

We can tell you're level headed - you're drooling evenly out of both sides of your mouth

sco

Hi all - just a quick note to let you know we're still sorting a bunch of things out - as soon as we have news you'll be the first to know.

Thanks for the update. We'll be waiting patiently, but still drooling. :D

This may make the "alternative OS" people happy:

If you develop your GUI's using GTK# (a small plugin for microsoft.NET), your .NET software will be able to run on linux or PPC (provided the person using Linux or MacOS is the experianced 'nix user that they should be... yes, mac os is 'nix)

Hi All,

Another update. Things on the hardware side have taken a little longer than planned, but we hope to have the final version of our hardware for testing soon. The software side is coming along nicely... what do you think of our gauges?

Please note that we haven't finalised the functionality we'll ship in the initial version, so the final version may change from what you see at the moment.

Looks good so far, I particulary like the '255' speed. That would be MPH, right?

Aoshi Shinomori

Im pretty sure that's in kilometers per hour. 255kmph is about 180 or so mph, I don't feel like getting a calculator lol.

Now that is sweet looking... The drool factor is coming back after a short hiatus.

sco

Currently everything is metric. There will be an option to select imperial units. Also, you'll notice that the mins and maxs on most of the dials are pretty wide (except RPM)- these currently match the theoretical mins and maxs in the onboard diagnostic data - this will be adjusted to suit the RX-8

Aoshi Shinomori

Great job guys, keep up the good work

I am dumb sco (, and I have said these in the Oz forum), I would like to have some unit shown on the dash.

I took me 2 seconds to figure out the fuel level is in percentage :p

sco

You're not dumb... units on the dial are coming too.

I am still pondering using Thew's AV Box, and running an output from my computer to the NAV screen to display the computer's screen there. My laptop would be running your setup, but I don't know how it would look on a small 7" NAV screen.

I was wondering if there will be a TEXT only screen for the readouts in case the gauges show up too small. Kind of like this... But as text of course.

takahashi

It is like the setup of the GTR R34s...

Have a digit on the left hand side for LHD.
Have a bar on the right.

Cool

I think 6 dails will be too big for the 7" screen

sco

A couple of options:
1. There will be text only readouts
2. You'll be able to set the number of gauges on screen - so you could do something like display 3 gauges in a row - this would make them bigger - like the attached picture.

I'm seriously thinking about doing a version optimised for in car use with a touch screen - if anyone's interested in this let me know so I can gauge interest. It's likely there would be a small upgrade fee for this version.
