Hang on Hymee or Sco...

Suggest any serial converter for my laptop?

I have 3 USB and firewire and a slot for (PCMCIA???) card...

What do you recommend me using?

Lucky... these are cheaper than Belkins ($69) and they look quite nice.

Thanks and ordered.

Ohhh... cannot wait.

Hi SCO,

How long after the MSWinPC version is release will you be looking at doing the Beta of the PPC version? RX8 + O2 XDA-II = volunteer :D

Cheers,

Tonym.

We've started beta-testing. Unfortunately we had some delays on hardware for some of the testers (which are now resolved and they now have all they need), so I'm hoping for some feedback over the next couple of weeks and if that feedback is good, we won't be far from the initial release.

I'll leave the stuff about Hymee giving birth and elephantine proportions alone... for now

We'll probably be just faster than Overload's 12 month effort on the audio input Like Overload, this project is not something that is viable yet for us to quit our full time jobs and do it full time - we'd both love that, but we both have mortgages and many mouths to feed. Who knows, maybe if it's good enough and we sell enough (everyone buy 3) :D, we might have a chance at doing this all day.

Oh dear. Lets get the facts straight before we start...

I showed this to rxeighter in September, 2004. He started this thread on 09-20-2004, 12:29 AM. That meant September 2004 when I learned calanders, not July 2003. Even though it is back to front a bit

Finally gives birth to something....

1. Protective grills (first ever for RX-8)
2. Cat back.
3. sCANalyser - beta testing underway now.
4. Supercharger - in development.

BTW - Full time job to tend to as well And in all there I had to fit in 3000 odd posts as well.

Cheers,
Hymee.

I am one of the lucky one to beta test.

I am still working and testing hard even on my holiday!

I am in Macau now and will test someone's JDM RX-8 this week.

You cannot ask for more sco and Hymee.

I think I solved the only problem I faced too... will report privately

Cheers
Taka from Macau.

Taka has inspired me I'll speak up too...Hymee and SCO are great guys and the product they are soon to offer is amazing.

The unit is VERY high quality. The cables are high-grade and will definitely shield from degrading my video setup in the car (which shouldn't be a problem anyway).

On top of that I am really impressed with the software...beautiful interface.
I'm going to be hooking up a small computer in the car and using the NAV as the display for the unit...digital gauges are nice

Jealous

Love testing....
There are bugs (somewhere surely ) which I am here to test for. Dare I say I found one but I will go to the root of the problem, which is not a big problem btw.

sco, Hymee. I think beta tester should communicate among them via you guys. Live chat or group email?? Any objection from the creator (hymee, sco)?

Sorry my error, I've confused rxeighter's "joined on date" with the thread's startup date. My bad. The waiting frustration comes out of finding a CEL on in the car after returning from 4 days winter driving mayhem (www.gruppe-q.com) in Steamboat. I've been postponing a Harrison Software type purchase in the hopes Hymee's version was not far around the corner. Come on guys, (I'm not sure what elephant's say in the jungle delivery room except, "Warning don't stand directly behind the mother....." but, for kriykie's sake, "PUsh, push, push...... breath, breath, breath. PUSH PUSH PUSH.

Saw that on ER once. Seemed to work :-)

takahashi - there is definitely bugs. Fixed a few last night - you're not trying hard enough I'll see if we can get a discussion list going.

truemagellan and other beta testers - love to hear some more feedback - even if it is to say you've had no problems.

mlx8 - no problems .. we're going as fast as we can... believe me both Hymee and I want this out the door (we have lots of great ideas for another version we want to get started on). Thanks for your patience. We're close... I can smell it.

No worries mate.

We all make mistakes - that is why we have beta testing, hey?

Sorry we haven't had this ready to check you CEL. We feel (hope?) a quality product will better than a rushed to market product.

Cheers,
Hymee.

Tallking about a CEL light. Is that wise to buy myself a OBD - II code book? or it is a waste of money, since the code book is never used (touch wood ;*)

I wish I have time to beta test in Macau.... I might wavied down an RX-8 somehow, risking of being the first forum member being hit by an RX-8 :D

Taka,

I'll email you a "DTC code file" that we "compiled" from information puiblished on this site. We are not sure we can re-distribute it with the product - copyright etc.

On the Tools - Options dialog, there is a place where you can point to the DTC lookup file. Then when you get a DTC, sCANalyser gives you the description as well as just the code :D

Check your email soon...

Cheers,
Hymee.

SMART Thanks for that. I am just interested and not looking forward to my first DTC. Oh I can find that in other cars (like Ford :D)

if it is so... :D

DTC #00001 = the drive in front of you has been constantly slower.
DTC #00002 = the engine detected too much noise from a female voice.
DTC #00003 = the ECU detected not enough fund in the owner bank account for future mods, since the additional card holder have spent it all.
