Not sure Rick, I've been dealing with Moates on this and they said we'd need 2 cables linked to get them to correctly work. They are having some custom made cables made that are correct from the off so only 1 cable is needed.


Also the byte swap adaptor board is WORKING.......... There was a short between pins 4 and 40.. It's fixed and emulating ...

I can connect with Vagcom on the bench and emulate

I will test it in the car tomorrow on the way to work but I am confident it'll work .

Now for anyone who isn't aware with the new version of TP soon to be released, 8 and 16 bit maps are supported. Also if you use the 2d or 3d map to adjust settings it emulates instantly, using the text box to make changes need you to hit the emulate button or E ( or what ever you assign ) to upload the data to the emulator.

With the byte swap now working data trace and gauges should be working...

I have to say, I used the emulator on the way to work today, so so much easier better to map a car.. its so fast I made map changes whilst waiting at the traffic lights.... Sod this waiting 5 mins while you flash the ecu and hoping it doesn't brick!

Not on a hobbyist's budget it isn't.

So what's current then? How many tuners actually have an emulator?

Hobbiest or pro.. There are alot of tuners out there that would benefit from this..

I assume that Rick meant the fact that there is no emulation available for ME(D)9 and MEDC17 systems besides CCP and ETKs (used by OEMs).
ME7 is kinda "in the past", because a lot of popular "tuner cars" use more modern systems.

littco, thanks for more info! Im sold on one of these

What is the hold back to emulate 9 or 17?

I haven't been around here much since I sold my Audis a few years ago, but I have to say I'm overjoyed to see how Nefmoto has grown and developed into a useful resource for the tuning community.  At Moates, we've always been kind of mystified by the attitudes shown by "tuners" in the German car communities.  The kind of open sharing we see here brings joy to our hearts.

At this point, everyone should give Dan a big thanks for the testing he's done towards making the RoadRunner a more viable option for ME7.  We're continuing to work with him and with TunerPro's author to improve the solution.  Within a few months, we hope to have worked out the hardware and software aspects to the point where using ME7 with our products is well documented and straightforward.

Things are NOT quite there yet.  Things seem to be working fairly well, but I'd consider things "beta" right now.  We welcome early adopters, but please understand that the reason we're not marketing or really mentioning this very loudly is that there are kinks to be worked out.  With that said, if you want to get in on the action early you're more than welcome to.

Current status:
-We have an *extremely* limited number of hardware byte swap boards like what Dan is using.  After we finalize on a design, this will be a regular stocked item.
-The official public version of TunerPro has the issues Dan mentioned.  Beta software is available for testing by emailing us
-Hardware tracing is NOT working, even with the byteswap boards.  We're not sure why.  We're going to try to work with TunerPro's author to resolve this but there is NO ETA at this point.
-There are no public ADX files to allow native logging in TunerPro.  This needs to be worked out.  We can help if need be.

if you have any more questions, feel free to drop us a line.  We're available on the phones M-W-F 10-6 EST.  We're a bunch of friendly enthusiasts.  I promise we won't bite.

If this is against vendor rules or something, please contact us and we'll do what we need to in order to come in line with site policies.  We're not trying to rock the boat or piss anyone off - just to be helpful and make it easier for people to get accurate information about using our products.

thanks,

Thanks Dave and Dan(littco?) for the updates, I am one happy person to se this coming true 

Unfortunatly my car is my daily used car, otherwise I would probably get on and help beta testing this out.

Is there any other way I can contribute? I have some basic disassembly skills regarding ME7.x if thats to any help.
