What's the timebase for the data when you export it? It would be great if it was UTC so you could align the data in time with data collected by other systems, e.g. to do a video overlay. I'm assuming the DME isn't keeping a real time clock. Is there an appreciable time delay between data acquisition and delivery to the computer? Does the protocol have a way to measure/compensate for that?

Also, is the protocol to the computer a trade secret? Can I make my own real-time display with a Raspberry Pi and an LCD screen?

Again, great stuff. I'm glad to see people innovating in this space.
Dare, the DME doe not have a real-time clock, so UTC isn't possible. In the logs, timing is displacement from start, with the start being zero... So you would have to manually align the data start point to match your video.

If you want to make your own display, I would be happy to help you out with the protocol info. I think that would be a cool application for R_Pi

If only there was a way to get it to display on my LM-2 screen.. so i don't need to hall around a laptop for logging.

Could your system with USB not hook to display on a Tablet? Dashboard screen?

Most tablets do not have USB. small ultralite laptop would be best.

Man, you guys can definitely keep me busy!

Just a quick note to say that I'm done with the Logger, AND the Tuner!
I updated the website, and ordering should now be available.

Josh, it says on the website that you need the DME in association with the Tuner/Logger - do we need to send you the DME again if we already have the 28 pin conversion? Will be placing my order today - Thanks.

Just purchased. Look at the pictures... it seems like they'll cut the casing to fit that ribbon cable.

Yes, I have to do a component update - and it is something I'm only comfortable with me doing. (the risk of hurting/destroying the DME board is too high for a DIY)

Yep, that is the easy part

Awesome! It will be great to see some DME logs of your stroker motor!

I'll be selling a 10" Asus Eee netbook (model 1000HE) soon, which is perfect for this application. I used it for school and it's just sat idle since I graduated, I just need to format and reload the stock OS (XP). I was going to toss it on eBay but if someone here wants it I can give you first crack.

Does this not need to tie into the KLR at all?

Also is this a program that has to be restarted on each re start of the car like Zt2 or can it be set up to run and thus display full time when ever the car is running like the SAFC?
