I'm sure if it's open source someone would pick it up though.
I dualboot windows/linux but most people don't and you would be cutting out a large number of potential users/contributors by only offering a linux version.

Tuning software, OTOH, will be as cross-platform as possible.

Re: DIYEFI.org, FreeEMS and the future of TRUE DIY engine management
this project looks awesome, its too bad i'm not into software development and such, gonna def. keep an eye out though, been reading through the DIYEFI forum, looking at the hardware test rigs... if that other guy gets the nissan RB CAS working (i'd hope it'd be easy to get the similar 4cyl nissan CAS working too) then i'd consider running this when it comes to a working state.

Re: DIYEFI.org, FreeEMS and the future of TRUE DIY engine management
Yeah, it's not linux only, and me and my mate have compiled the source and diffed our final binaries and found them exactly the same (which you would hope for, but it's best to check these things). He has a gayDM turbo s14 silvia back in NZ, so chances are he'll be helping Sean with that LT1/Nissan code. If it can be made to work at all, all such 360 ID by count style CAS units should be able to be made to work the same way.
I'm sorry it came across linux only. The thing is, there is a large difference between liking cheap/free stuff, and enjoying open source for what it is. If you like Linux just because it's Open Source and fun to play with etc, then you will like this by default. Hence that question in that list.
I don't particularly want bludgers and freeloaders making a buck off of my work, but there is nothing I can do about that, so it's bound to happen some time. I hope most people that sign up have the right attitude and help where they can/can afford to even if it's only arguing with me and testing it at home on a test rig or spare engine etc. Pretty much anyone with a few well thought and and backed up opinions about EMS tech can be valuable here.
The other thing is that I don't even have a copy of windows, so i personally can't help and support people who want to dev under that system. I have nothing against you using windows though. I would rather <insert filthy HMT expression of your choice here> than run windows on my PC.

Thanks Xtatic for answering that for me :-)
Thanks guys for your interest.

It has come to my attention today that one of our members has been banned from msefi.com just by being a member on my site. Please, if you are signed to my site, or intending to, and also need assistance on msefi.com read this :

It is highly unfortunate that I have to post about this publicly, but I feel that not doing so would be irresponsible to my users.

Re: DIYEFI.org, FreeEMS and the future of TRUE DIY engine management
Ken posted this on another forum, but it seems like too much of a coincidence to me...
It is worth noting that when VEMS split some time ago, they were all banned and outcast too. Of course, VEMS was called MegaSquirtAVR at first... so they kinda stole the name :-)
For the record, I am not included in "nobody", as of this morning, I'm IP banned from all MS sites, lol. Thier loss (or if you see it like BD/JD/etc, their gain).
Fred.
I was going to post this in your thread that you link to on your forum, but I talked to Bruce, and apparently nobody has banned Xstatic.
Unless he's trying to use it from a banned IP block, or from your computer, he should still be able to log in.
Nobody will be banned for being on both forums.

Re: DIYEFI.org, FreeEMS and the future of TRUE DIY engine management
Minor update :
Human readable serial logging is working as of this morning. I'll tidy it up and add a bunch more variables before doing a release later today.
I also changed the formatting of the forum a bit. The moderators are now Blue, the members that have contributed the most useful stuff to discussions are Green, I am now Fred instead of Admin which feels much more natural, and I added an Admin user for site stuff (who is me for now, but could be others later).
