Yep, the Ostrich 2.0 fixed the reliability issues with the first gen, and Maxtronic one...

Hey there Rogue,

Couple q's on the timing maps.

- on the part throttle map, the load axis goes up to about 52%. Can you provide a summary of any way to relate "load" to this axis? Understand the load value will be a function of the AFM input voltage but why does the axis only go to 52%? Does it kick to WOT at this point or is are the load % numbers assumed labels vs. actual labels from the map.

- on the part throttle map, the timing values are displayed in hex. The xdf editor shows a calculation being applied but the value displayed appears to the source table. I would expect to see calculated timing angles. Can you explain why there are hex values displayed and the purpose of the equation?

Hmm, the load axis is a little arbitrary at the moment... Don't focus too much on the axis label. Just know that higher % means more load, i.e. boost.
Just talked to the author of TunerPro, the next version should be out soon, which will have cell-tracing. This will allow us to see exactly what cell is being used in real-time! That feature will make tuning much simpler

Right-click on the table, and click on "Show Calculated Values", it should display correctly then.

The overboost map:


All of the tables and constants in TunerPro tell you what it is, make sure the Item Comments window is displayed

I think I will be fine with the two programs..I have the Maxtronic and It seems to work fine so I will work with it...

I found the Item Comments window

Rogue you did a Fantastic job with this Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Rogue. Yes, cell tracing will be huge. On my SMT-6, that's the key feature that really enables the tuning. Did Mark suggest an approximate date he was thinking for the next version?

Yes he did - though you know how software release dates are...
But I expect it out very soon!

The KLR chip does not need to be changed.

I have been trying to pull down the map I'm running with Maxtune (89 28 bit) out of the Ostrich 2.0 and into TunerPro, but I haven't had any luck, all the cells have the same value (7.28). Clearly I'm doing something wrong, perhaps wrong def file?

You can only upload from TunerPro to the Ostrich. Download will result in an error.

How does MaxTune save the .bin? If it is saved as a normal .bin then you should just be able to load it from the file...

In terms of hardware all we need is the Ostrich 2.0 and that will interface directly with laptop via USB?
