Jason, whats it gonna take to use the ROMulator?

I have a friend who turbo is down and he has all of that for tuning his hondata...maybe he'd loan it to me in the name of testing...

Let me know...and ill see if I can borrow it!

Actually, xeno, just grab his ROMulator box, and a serial cable. That's all you need. Since I'm writing the software, you don't need anything else.

That owuld be great to get another tester on board.

leed is helping out as well. Two of the 4 main functions are working great!

Currently, my test app can upload, and download a tune into the ROMulator!!

Bad news is, I've been trying to work out what I thought were bugs in the other routines, and it turns out it's my ROMulator's firmware. I have to send it in to get updated. Oh well..

Mmmm just read about ECUcontrol today.. ECUcontrol + Turboedit looks fun:D
Would I be able to hook up ECU Con. plus ROMulator for editing or...?

So there is a separate APP for interfacing with the ROMulator or does it just run through the TE gui? I was wondering how that works, I know it acts like a chip and those values can change on the fly, just wondering how that was represented on screen.

Also, do I need datalogging for this or no? Max232?

I ASSume a serial cable comes with the ROMulatotr although I think I have a cable laying around...

Hmm...I will definitely test i you can help me through a bit :) Hit me up on AIM sometime...

When the test app is done. It will integrated seamlessly into TurboEDIT. My plan is to have you click a checkbox, and *poof* the values you change are then written to the EEPROM. You wont even notice a difference.

For ROMulator, no. Just the ROMulator box itself.

They sent me one with my kit, but I don't know if it comes with a retail kit..

[b]Heh, that's cool, only I have MSN.. :D We'll figure something out.

Hey, TurboEDITBeta2.0-Try6.exe is available for download on the TurboEDIT website.. Try that with Try21.bin. I think I narrowed down the problem to being that Speed Limiter option byte.

Even though the conversion formula said 0, it was converting the number to 0x03 int he ROM. And I guess the speed limiter code is broken so that was messing up the ROM.

Anyway, long story short.. Editing with Try6.exe should rip!!!

Jason, is it possible to have the ROMulator and Max232 hooked up at the same time? Or with ROMulator is that usable with the ECU control software?

ROMulator doesn't, and won't, work with ECUControl. ECUControl is not tuning software, it's datalogging analyzer.

You can use ROMulator and TurboEDIT together. Datalog through TurboEDIT, and program on the fly through TurboEDIT.

No no no... What I'm saying is it possible to hook up the hardware for romulator and ecu control at the same time?... or is i tthe same hardware. Thanks:D

If you have two COM ports, or if you use USBMOD for ECUControl, then yes.

Sweet, I was planning to go the USBmod route.. thank you sir.
I jus twasnt sure if you could fit them both on the ecu lol
