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

Damn I hope Uber doesn't die out. :(

That's what I was going to use on my car, and have you tune Chris ;D (Hows everything>?)

But I've also recently been wondering if I should ineed go with Crome. Although I feel more love for Uber. :P

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

I hope it doesnt die either. I was making donations to Blake from kit sales for a while and never heard one word back (not that I really got butt hurt) but when I saw him stop updating his own software, I went and bought a Crome license...and I am glad I did. I still think there should be as many options as possible out there, to get people involved and learning though.

Uber and Crome were even for a while...Uber got the user base and attention while Crome stayed in the shadows on PGMFI.

Right now, Crome is where its at for me. :D

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

been doing ALOT of reading on the pgmfi.org site about crome and downloaded it just to chekc it out. looks pretty good and seems to have a good amount of support from the programmers. but $149 for tuning features and autotune is a little high for a "non-profit" program. if you buy the tunerpro package do you have to pay that everytime there is an update? how long is your licence good for?

gotta figure out what to buy first, the WBo2 or pro license :'(

Buy the Wideband first.

Datalog with ECUControl...Tune in RTP with Crome (You did recently buy an Ostrich right?).

Free Crome lets you RTP...autotune is a very handy feature but not 100% necessary. Just makes it easier and faster really.

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

So I wouldn't need Crome for you to street tune me right Chris?

I'd only have to buy it when I myself want to mess with the tune.

Its going to be either or, but I think I'm also leaning toward Crome as it seems to be a little more tuner friendly.

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

yeah my ostrich should be here monday ;D. i was talking to a few friends of mine that i had already talked into using uberdata with their turbo set-ups and told them about crome and how jon has some great customer support and showed them the lay out of the actual program. they liked the features and support and they figured we could all chip in on the 149 and devide the cost of the wideband also. somebody was gonna buy a chip burner and some chips so we could tune with my ostrich and then burn the chip. then if anybody else needed their car tuned we could do it and split the profit until the stuffs paid for.

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

Sounds like a great idea...just remember, whoever's laptop gets the program...it stays there :)

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

Bump back to the top. I bought the same wideband today. I keep getting a blue screen of death when trying to run ecucontrol.


So do I need to hook the 0-1v analog output to the ECU or the 0-5v analog output? I'm assuming the 0-5 for the wideband.. *laugh.. ^-^

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

i swear... i feel like i'm the only one who can't get crome to work. Its ------- frustrating as ----. Now everytime i open up Crome to try and see if i might miraculously get it to work, i risk smashing my ecu and comp with a big ------- hammer.

and on top of that i broke ringlands earlier this week... i hate to say it but i really really feel like i should... i feel like i had to settle for a less than exceptional tune with some other rom editor, because the day was spent ------- dicking just to make everything half operational... ahhh i'll just keep it to myself.

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

don't give up just yet.
i was haveing hell of a time trying to get my ostrich working with my laptop, it would work fine with my PC but when i tried to connect it to the laptop it wouldn't see ----. so i just kept messing with it and now it works great, only thing i need to do now is get a power inverter so i can plug it into the cig lighter since my battery lasts about 5 minutes.
what problems are you haveing?
