The "whole" thing - like your RX-8 as well? Or do you plan on testing on a local RX-8 when you are there?
Cheers, Hymee. |

Cheers, Hymee. I will bring my laptop and the cables... I hope I can find the only Red RX-8 there... are you still here? Otherwise, I don't mind meeting up with some guys in Hong Kong. I am going on 14 Feb and return on 28th. I have internet connection in Macau to report what i found. Anyone interested over there? Hello...... ? :p The HK and Macau RX-8 are JDM Type S.... |

List of features will be published within the next 24 hours. Sorry for the delay.
As Hymee has mentioned we're waiting on some cables and once they arrive we'll be going to a limited beta test. The set of features for the first release is pretty much baked - we're currently tidying up known bugs ready for the beta. |

I just think they look kind of nice. Theyre from the new Ferrari 612 |
looking forward to the next 24 then:)

Here is a summary of the features for the initial version.
Our software will run on the following operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows XP, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (requires Service Pack 6a.) Once we ship the initial version we'll have a think about other versions and support for other platforms. Pocket PC is high on my list. First thing on the list will be an API - this would probably be in .NET but COM compliant (so it can be used by any COM compliant language, such as VB6). Thanks for all your patience and support. Cheers sco Edit: Added some clarification to items 4 and 5. Edit 2: Clarified point 2. Edit 3: Removed point 11 Control on board tests - the RX-8 doesn't support it. |
ok i want one. now please:)
|
Sounds great! Do you plan on a USB version any time in the future? Many, maybe most, of the current laptops come with USB but not serial. Thanks.
|
There may be a USB version in the future (but not near future). Serial gives us more flexibility (e.g. can use the interface with pocket PCs). We can supply an "approved" USB to serial interface as an optional extra.

I love one please.....:D Will it be shipped via you or under the house of Hymee? |
Taka,
It is a "Hymee Enhanced" product, developed by Hymee and Sco. Don't forget you are on the beta, so expect something in a week or so! :) Cheers, Hymee |
Don't forget your buddy in the States.
Ready to buy -- right here & now. |

Put me down on the list. Still keen to beta test the app running under VirtualPC Windows XP on MacOS , if that helps (hmm, that means I'd better look at serial to USB adapters)
|
Timbo,
We have tried a few different USB / Serial adaptors, and also a PCMCIA serial port. At least one USB-Serial didn't work :eek: We are going to recommend a "buy it yourself" brand/model, and alternativley supply another cheaper option ourselves. Cheers, Hymee. |
Note that item #2 in Sco's list above - this means that it will sample 6 items at a time, and be able to do all that at a frequency of about 10 times per second. So that is sort of like 60 readings per second in total.
Cheers, Hymee. |
Thanks Hymee.. have clarified this in the original list.
|
All,
I've removed one feature from the list - "Control on board monitoring tests". There was an error in some of my notes and this feature actually isn't supported by the RX-8. Currently the only test in the OBD specifications that can be controlled is the evaporative system test, and the RX-8 doesn't support controlling this using the mechanisms defined in the OBD specs. Sorry for any confusion. sco |
Drool factor increased :p
Can you at least give us a target date for general public availability? Thanks! |

sCANalyser should work with other vehicles that support OBD over CAN. We've tried it in a Mazda 6, Mazda 3, Mazda 2 and it does work with these vehicles. For the initial release we're focused on supporting the RX-8. Subsequent releases will support additional vehicles. That feature will be able to be used on vehicles that support it in a future release.
|
This might sound stupid, but when its available we should be able to buy it from the hymee web site right? Or maybe a list of interested people reading this thread?
Can't wait to integrate this feature into my carPC! -V |
I guess it would be stupid if we didn't sell it over the web! I'll need to update the site when it is ready to go on sale.
We are shipping some of the hardware today to those fortunate few to be on our beta test program. So things are happening! Cheers, Hymee. |
