So, I know how to code somewhat, and eventually I want to add some functionality to my tunes, like for example, if I could make it control water methanol injection or something, that would be awesome in the long run.

I know how to do some basic coding in other languages, like C++ or Basic. And I've seen people on here throw up some very basic if this value < such and such then mil on else mil off.

What language is used in these, how do I make it human readable, how do I begin to look at doing things like this? I'm motivated, and I ahve a cousin who's a great programmer, but I'd like to find out the basics before I go to him and ask him to help me do some in depth things.

I've searched, but it seems like every time I search, I don't come up with any results, then my friend Marty magically gets the search to work and I feel like an idiot.

Can somebody point me in the general direction of some reading material so I can understand how to begin doing some basic coding with subroutines, etc?

Thanks guys, I've learned so much from here, and I want to see what I can do. ME7 would be great, they're my bread and butter.

I know I need to learn a language or two. I know when compilers put things together they translate it into a format the computer understands. Whether that's binary or hex or what...I don't know.

But I've written some Java, and I've written some c++ yeas ago. And what I want to write is very basic if then statements.

Thanks for the answer.
