I was thinking of getting a can-scan software soon. How long before you release it

RotorGeek, I can't commit to a date, just yet. We're getting close, but there are some things that need to be sorted before I can be confident on when we'll ship. We have a dependency on a hardware manufacturer, so some things are not entirely in our control. Hopefully we'll have these issues sorted later this week and then we can talk about a date, subject to forum rules.
Testing on the weekend went well. The latest version of our interface works as expected and is much faster (resulting in faster update rates) than the one we have been using in the interim. But, we're looking to see if we can make it even faster. More news as soon as I have some. I know many of you are keen to get your hands on one - we want to produce something that is high in quality and great value for money. We'll do our best to get this out as quick as we can. Your patience is very much appreciated. |
That sounds cool. I am still 2 months from buying anything so it works out great.

Hi All,
Thought it would be a good idea to give you an update. We've found a small issue with our hardware. It's not a showstopper but it prevents us from tweaking a few things we want to try to tweak. We're waiting on feedback from our supplier on if/when this can be fixed. We could ship now as is - but we want the opportunity to try some tweaking to get the best results - if we were to ship now and some hardware changes were required for us to do the tweaks we want then our early adopters could be disadvantaged. This means we won't be shipping before Christmas, but we're trying to get this sorted as quickly as we can. The one advantage is that this gives us more time to add features to the software. Some things I have added recently:
More news as I have some. Cheers sco |
Thanks sco for the update, even though we have to be patient just a little while longer.
Good luck in getting things sorted out with your hardware supplier. |
Thanks rxeightr.
Good news. The problem we were having was due to a documentation issue (i.e. something wasn't working because of incorrect information on the feature - there was nothing wrong with the feature itself, so once the documentation was corrected, this was easily fixed). We will be moving forward to a beta test in the very near future, and provided that goes well we won't be far from releasing the first version of the soon to be named scan tool. Again thanks for your patience and support. It's close... I can smell it. |
Thats good news; looking forward to getting this!

This looks like it could be the ideal tool to help tune a Canzoomer unit. Will the system be able to scan, record and graph RPM, advance, trottle and AFR(02S1) directly in the software itself without having to transfer data into Excel?
|
We're thinking about a "tuner's edition" with advanced functionality for tuning.

Cheers, Hymee. |
since this thread is very long and the information is spread thru many posts i wonder if sco or Hymee can give a break down of all the current as planned for release functions of this unit. thanks.

I'll put something together and post it... may not be for a couple of days.

Hello Hymee and SCO,
First off, I would like to mention that I've read many many posts by Hymee before this 2nd post of mine =). I would like to let you know that I am also a professional programmer with Microsoft technology. (C#,vb6,vb.net,asp.net, just about all microsoft) But I also know java and can help you convert code to java if you need help with that. I hope you do release an API in either .net or com. I am in the process of making a custom pc and software for my RX8. (gathering all the parts) This will probably be one of the item to purchase. -V |
custom software? would you be willing to share that with us Vido?

Guys,
We hear your request for an API. Had a busy week at my day job, and I owe zoom44 a summary of features. Will post some news soon. sco |
Sure I'll share it. Its basically a touch screen application that lets you play radio/tv/music/videos/and embed a nav program like streets usa in windows and maybe java if its not too much work. I just bought myself a tiny motherboard in ITX form factor and a lilliput 7" for that setup.

One move vote for MAC OSX

Tim Do you think maybe in a few years we could have something that could run on an ipod? ;) |

hey, just throwing out an idea for a future version... but can the unit output be optionally programmed for dials (or bars) like this?
I just think they look kind of nice. Theyre from the new Ferrari 612 |
I also have a MacOSX, but I use it for limited things such as music and java testing. Anything written in java should work perfectly for the MacOS X. If the source code is written using one of the multiplatform api that I know (www.wxwidgets.com [c++]) that would also make it easy to get it working on the Mac OS X. As for the what was mentioned before about something called Mono. Mono is a way to run the application that SCO and Hymee are working on with the MacOS X or linux. www.go-mono.org for more info.

I noticed from the pics that the gauges are rather far apart from each other, will we be able to adjust it to fit them closer together so as the gauges will all be visible on the Navigation display (if I hook a laptop or carputer or xbox if works to it)? thanks guys probably A LOT more difficult then it sounds :p http://www.xbox-windows.org/ |
When are we going to see the goodies? :rolleyes:

Taka,
You get to see it earlier than most, due to your special "beta tester" status. They sent us "straight" plugs instead of the special right-angle plugs. Thies makes the cables less intrusive in the footwell. I am waiting for the replacement cables to arrive. We are also working on finalising the software. I hope you will have something within in 2 or 3 weeks. Cheers, Hymee. |
Thanks the update Hymee :thumbs up:. I simply cannot wait ;)
Cannot wait to play it. Although I am going to Hong Kong and Macau in Feb 14. Oh I may bring the whole thing to Asia and do testing. We will see. Cheers TAKA |
