Question regarding Crome, Searched and also CANT GET ON TO PGMFI.ORG
 
Well to start off I cannot get in to PGMFi.org, I registered and never got an email adress to verify, contacted the admin 3 times and no responses, this was 4 days ago.

So here is my question, I have Crome, not Crome Pro my version of crome is 1.2 with advance boost tools+ 2.0

I have been learning alot lately and following the Xenocron tutorial which was great untill I got to the point where the theoretical part of a basemap was done and now came time to set my desired AFR's using (Target Lambda), I am having problems with this, when I type in lets say an AFR of 14.7 Crome automatically changes it to something like 14.2 and unfortunerly the tutorial does not mention anything about this, so is this due to me using normal Crome and not Crome Pro?

I would really like to figure this out, I understand so much more about this program than I did a week ago, done hours of reading and research looking at different maps on the Xenocron website and I was on my way to writing a good basemap for my setup and now I hit a brick wall with this, Cant seem to figure it out and I have no way of getting Crome Pro.

I know, but what I mean is it dosnt work like it shows in the tutorial, if you look here:
http://www.-------------/install/CromeGuide.htm

Go to where it says "First, set up your target Air/Fuel ratio maps to your desired numbers by hitting F10"

It will show you an AFR of 14.7 in the first column, I cant do that for some reason on my program, I am not using Crome Pro, so is that my problem ???

When I try to type 14.7 as my afr it changes by itself to 14.22, this is starting to tick me off.

Anybody have Crome Pro they can send me, dosnt look like I'll be getting on to PFMFI any time soon.

If your trying to change it one individuel cell at a time internal math in the program causes the values to change to somthing as close as crome can get it to what you want in relation to cells around it....You need to drag select a large area with your mouse then add to or decrease selection until its what you want ,then fine tune individuel cells. and with crome save often as your making changes because if you open something else or click to another map when you go back it reloads the old data. when you make a change you have to save before you leave that screen. Or it will reload the portion you adjusted as what it is in the saved rom your using... IF THE SCREEN CHANGES THE VALUES AND SETTING WILL REVERT TO WHAT THEY WERE ORIGANALLY BEFORE YOU MADE CHANGES

I'm using crome free and freelog to datalog. they work great together. Freelog does map trace for you and tons of other things...If you get freelog working and get out in your car you'll work it all out for yourself. I'm of at best average intelligence and I did fine. You can do it just go get your hands dirty quit
Etuning you know enough already to get started with out some actual experiance all you will find are questions.

And dude check your junk email pgmfi probably got caught in your junk filter.
3:02 am and that fat ---- still aint here. I better get my ------- BB gun.

First off, why are you concerned with the A/F table when you don't have CROME PRO. That is only used for datalogging which can only be done in PRO.


Second, you need to purchase CROME PRO to support the creator and you should donate to PGMFI for using the plug-ins as they were created by the forum members. Asking someone for it makes you a jackass and you should be banned from here and PGMFI.

Buddy, shut the ---- up, really, firstly I did not know it wasnt free, secondly, I will pay for it if I have to, and if someone wants to give it to me then its not your business so ---- off, honestly what's your deal.
Seriously man, I didnt know Crome Pro costs money, I will buy it and will support PGMFI.org, why you gotta jump at me like that, I'm new to this whole tuning thing and trying to learn like everyone else, so instead you could help me instead of jumping at me next time? we cool?

My problem with it is two fold:

1) pgmfi is my home, not HMT. You are suggesting it's okay for you to get pirated pgmfi juarez... no, nig nog, that is most definitely not okay. :3

2) You haven't done a fraction of the homework required on learning to use Crome to bitch about not being able to use Crome. It takes five minutes of poking around various menu functions (ie registration pop up) or reading one single FAQ to determine the exact nature of Crome Pro.

Just do your homework, okay? The more you learn about ECU tuning and understand how involved certain aspects are, the more respect you're going to have for the people who put these tools into your ignorant little monkey hands for FREE.

Grab freelog and use the logging function in that or another free datalogging program unless you have some loot and want to pay 120$ ish for the pro. It's worth it if you will be tunning more then one honda, but if your going to tune your car once and then die of a heart attack due to the obscene amount of cholesterol in your arteries you might as well spend the money on blow. As a matter of fact sell your car and spend the money on blow too. God bless.
