Work is progressing on my Volvo ME7 logging tool.  I thought this may be of inteest to you guys.

Currently it supports only MY05> and is very much a WIP but it DOES work and my alpha code can log 20 variables in 500ms or so.  Not too bad for a CANBUS system that supports only four continuous data requests at full speed.

Thanks, yes this is my dev version, something I'm putting together for my 20G turbo tune.  There wasn't a logger of good enough data/quality that I could find so I am currently in the process of making one!

The first two tabs work at the minute but I am still ironing out bugs and may well rewrite the Windows front end in C++ instead of the VB, I hate VB but the development life-cycle is quick!

Yes it will be released, the logger part anyway, this will be my gift to the Volvo scene.  The rest may or may not get finished to be honest.  I've got all of the OBD2 flashing and diagnostic tools for Volvo anyway.

I can display this data on the DIM (Clock computer) as well which is a nice touch.

The output I plan to use NYET's graphing tool on here to help me tune the nuts off my car when the time is right

Oh, I fixed the IAT typo

Yes you can test it when it's at that stage, probably 2 months or so, depending on my day jobs and kids.  PM me your details.

The comfort stuff, I have in my car at the minute using a micro-controller and my own firmware to fold the mirrors etc, when locking the car.  It also displays a boost gauge on the dashboard and works really well.  This was done on a slower single CAN controller though, I am in the process of a port/rewrite to use the faster dual CAN hardware, and to merge all of the code together in-to one tool.

Here the boost gauge, early code but works well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzcFesqruWk

I'll be honest and say that dash stuff may well become commercial, depending on interest, there has been quite a bit state side anyway.  At the minute it's only in my car, no-where else.

For the other tabs I made them when brainstorming, flashing I won't develop that, car-config will be a dissection of the CEM carconfig memory to view, much like VIDA does, DTC's I might just have a 'clear all' button there to help during my mapping, doubt It'd be worth doing much more.

i want the boost gauge !!!, i hate having aftermarket stuff in my car, i like the stock look

Great work

Is there likely to be compatibility with ME9?

Yes, the plan is to expand once the P2 ME7 stuff is done.  The problem is there's at least 4x different setups in P80/P2 ME7.  I'll need to get hold of an ME9 ECU and ECU box/harness as well.  A C30 setup would be ideal, or ME9 S40.

I've been away and completely rewritten the GUI in C#, VB.net wasn't agreeing with my brain, I like ANSI C type syntax.

Multi-quote would be helpful (Sorry if I missed it somewhere).

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I'll keep this thread up-to date, the troops on my home ovlov forum think I'm talking some kind of sorcery!

Nyet/Anyone else.   I have a puzzle in decoding some CAN frames for my logger.  I think the values are hidden in specific bits in the returning bytes then multiplied in-to engineering units (m=y+b stuff).  I tried to decipherer  a few times a couple of weeks back then dropped it to code the windows stuff hoping to return and 'crack' it.

If I post the CAN data and thoughts would this be something that anyone could help with?  I'd need to turn it in-to a bitshifting ANSI C algo to come to an answer in engineering units...

Cheers!!

Thanks I'll collate something soon, this week it's J2534 programming!

I just need to play with an ECU on the bench for the logger, no need to open it.

Here's one of the values that's foxing me:

UB : battery voltage V



Response data, 8 bytes:

CD,7A,E6,10,0A,48,00,00

The offset mentioned is from the right so 0x48 is the data.  Voltage should be 11.7->12 volts in this response.

Any ideas?  Looking at my code my last try was (completely wrong)
