getting a LC-1 wideband and a few questions
 

okay here is the situation, i have a turboed car with chipped ecu with uberdata. i want to start trying to tune. i seen that the LC-1 was pretty cheap and didn't have a display but i have a laptop that i can hook up to my ecu using the serial port. i am also getting the ostrich and i think it said it uses the USB port. so what would i have to do to get the wideband to datalog onto the laptop?

okay i read that you hook the wideband to the ecu O2 sensor wire and then switched power and ground. and when datalogging and runnign ostrich at the same time i have to have two UD open, one for tuning and one for datalogging.

anything else that i'm missing? or can anybody confirm this?

couldnt you use ecucontrol or cuddle to datalog??? why not just datalog with UD and then go back and adjust what you need to

Two dont need to be open...you can do both at the same time in one.

Re: getting a LC-1 wideband and a few questions
 

on the uber forum somebody said that you needed two open. but maybe i'm just confused or it was just a certain version. i don't know, i'll go on there and see what the newest/most stable version that supports ostrich.

Cough Buy Crome Cough

Sorry...I couldnt resist...I had a EXTREMELY difficult night this week with Uber, made my despise for it even greater. Just had to get that out of my system...

Re: getting a LC-1 wideband and a few questions
 

know what you mean, been trying to figure out what version works best with the ostrich and actually be able to make changes. i guess the headache only gets bigger the deeper you get :(

Its really sad...I mean, all I hear now is that nasty rumor that even Blake is using Crome instead of his own program. Not that I can verify its truth but when you hear it from 10 or so people...

Uberdata survived strictly on the passion of a few moderators over there at their forums. It's creator is letting it die IMHO. :-\

Re: getting a LC-1 wideband and a few questions
 

hope it isn't so. that would be pretty sad. maybe he is using crome to get ideas for uberdata ;).

what is a good website to download crome and learn about it? isn't it basically the same thing as uber? does it support ostrich?


EDIT: nevermind i just found the motherload of information on crome. looks pretty easy to use maybe i will try it out. do you know of any draw backs or downsides to using crome?

Re: getting a LC-1 wideband and a few questions
 

Only issue right now is that fact you cant disable VTP or VTS without funky consequences...but it is being addresses.

With your LC-1 wired directly to the ECU, tuning is a breeze with Crome.
