Logging Serial Data
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 7:02 pm
How easy would it be for us to log data from a serial input? I am in the process of getting my engine computer to spit out it's real time logging into serial data. I would really like to log the Race Capture Pro and engine computer data once and ideally in Race Capture Pro.
How easy would this be to do? I have lots of parameters I care about logging some of which are not easily available as electrical signals externally like load and pressure indices to the speed density maps, boost target, knock values, knock based retard, and fuel trims. Many other values are also available through this that I could tap externally but this list is very long including such items as manifold pressure, AIT, throttle position, RPM, coolant temp, oil temp, fuel pressure, and wideband O2.
I am a software guy so I don't mind coding something up on either side of the connection. Either to get the data into a format for Race Capture Pro, or work at extending Race Capture Pro to consume the data.
I do realize that there will be some delay and obviously a bandwidth limitation (samples / second) over a serial interface even running at 115,200 or 250 kbps.
I can't wait to get my "Data Junkie" device! I've only become more excited about this product since I first signed up! I missed out on the mobile app + bluetooth but I'll be getting one of those once they are available. Thanks again!!!
