Windows config software anyone?

Post by itguy »

Hi All

I am waiting on Bill for my Megajolt at the moment, but I already have a programmer friend of mine who is really interested in writing a native windows app for this including live views / data logging / 3d graphs etc etc, probably very similar to the Emerald M3D software (just without the fueling). Would anyone be interested in this here?

Cheers

Will.

i look forward to trying it out :-)

i am at the bottom of a long learning curve on java programming.

Wonder if it would be possible to port the java based software to mobile (cell) phones that can run java apps!?

Might not need porting at all!

I'm looking into running the software on my Ipaq. It's o/s is Pocket pc 2002 (windows ce 3) and it has a Java runtime environment called Jeode.

Jeode is a Java runtime environment for Java Micro Edition spec - this supports the comm package and (some/most?) core java packages. Now, no doubt the MJLJ configurator software was written for Java Standard Edition (support for much more classes etc.), but there's a good chance that the classes it uses are common to Java Micro Edition, hence a good chance it may work.

That being said, I can't get it to work yet - but I've not given up!

Quick question- Jeode requires the user to type in a command line to launch a java application. This requires the jar file (which I know) and the main class within it (main program class?). Can anyone tell me which it is? (I'm no Java expert!)

Regards, I'll let you all know if I have any joy!

Very interesting! One of the reasons why I made the config software using java- a chance to run on multiple platforms.

Now- the jar file is an executable jar file- it internally has a reference to the main program class.

from the command line you would execute it using 'java -jar mjlj_x.x.x.jar'.

Otherwise, you can unzip the jar file and take a look at the manifest.mf file to see how it gets launched.

Let us know how it works.

edowner,

I had a play with this a while ago too, just got back to it again.

Looks like mjlmTune uses Swing which Jeode does not support...;-(

Brent, any way around this?

Confirmed no support for Swing!

Post by edowner »

Hi Nick,

Yeah, found that out too over the weekend - there might also be a few other classes which aren't supported.

The Jeode RE is based on JavaOne Personal Java (essentially Java 1 Micro Edition) and swing isn't supported.

I did have a search and downloaded a beta version of Creme RE by www.nsicom.com, which apparently is for J2ME (more likely to work as it's a subset of J2SE, and I think also supports Swing), however the evaluation copy isn't a full copy and hence has these support missing. I certainly couldn't get it to work anyway!

Unfortunately I don't know enough about Java to delve any deeper? Also there seems to be very little support/help/literature etc. for J2ME on the web - as far as runtime environments/vitual machines are concerned.

Maybe someone with a bit more Java knowledge could take this up - it would be very cool to be able to program the mjlj from a handheld!

Brent - I assume it would be quite a big deal to change the software for J2ME spec? (this would be compatible with PC's! as opposed to the other way round)

J2ME

That would be very cool- I have a palm Tungsten with a serial cable- So I'd benefit from this too.

However, I need to do this after some needed MJLJ firmware upgrades. :)

J2ME & Creme VM for handhelds

Just had another look on the website - I might try and download another evaluation copy - I think there is a CE emulator for the PC that could be useful.

Hi, any progress on the windows CE app? Would be nice to have a cheap in car interface instead of risking a laptop in there...

I've written a little DOS diagnostic app in C++, which you might be interested in. I'm happy to share the source.

My website (above) has a pocket pc tuning application free for download - it's all been tested on the car and works fine, I have recently made some changes so you can see which 'box' in the map you are currently running in, which makes tuning very easy - I can upload these onto the site if you're interested.

I'm 4 months into development in this area. My program surpases Emerald M3D ignition tuning features.
