Bluetooth worked for me on a BMW M4 on a £5 dongle 🙂

Could you make the graph resizeable? And a choice of colour as i find the green very difficult to read properly!

Cheers!

Ill add a colour picker for the line and background.
Double clicking a graph will expand it to full screen, It will expand on what ever screen the main window is on so if you have 2 screens drag it across to the other screen first. Ill try put some resizing stuff into that that since the main window cant be resized with how its tied into my orignal code from a different programing language.

more info about that knock/rpm option using sound card? i means how does it Will Works exactly? sounds good!

Youll get a USB sound adapter with mic and/or line in on it. (Or you can use your laptop/computer on board but not recommended)
The Knock input is pritty simple, Since knock sensor is just a microphone. So thats all going to be in the processing of the signal.
RPM is just a frequency which isnt really any different from sound wave anyway so you can count the frequency to workout RPM. Just you will need another little circuit that limits the frequency to a max of 3.3V. Then you tap into your sensor of choice (coil trigger, would have to devide by number of cylinders) or (Fuel injector trigger, ect)

Thanks, that would be great!

Hopefully tide me over until real time graphing is native.

 

Re Knock - i highly recommend this: all signal processing built in...

Sounds good really but i have not idea how to build it, maybe forward you can build that Little circuit or something theorical then i can buy components and build it!.

I used ago long time a simple detcan, tried too a electrical detcan using a sound amplifier but didnt work good for me, preferred a detcan using a tuve cooper and hose. 😀

Iv used both ways in the past as well. The biggest problem using using an amplifier is you loose quality so makes things harder to hear.

Bit out of my price range, Things im adding im trying to aim at keeping the cheapest options avaliable.
But of course if some one is willing to donate hardware to me ill add support for that hardware.

There were some talks about the circuit either on this thread a few posts back or it might of been in the plugin request thread.
Either way its a few dollars of bits and some soldering. Or I think D-tech had a prebuilt circuit that does the same job dropping to 5V. Then youd just change 1 resistor to drop it further to 3.3v.

Here is the sample tables attached in a zip.
Open in txt editor.
First line is X lables
2nd line is Y lables
3rd line is point value changes to next colour. (Colours are hard coded still)

Each value is seperated by a "|" ammount of lables is fixed length as well so you can have any more or any less.

Kess is a a tool to read and write ECU flash, it's nothing to do with actual tuning.
