Summary of change:
* RPM (sent by VEMS in AIM channel 1). '''Examples sniffed in hex from terminal''' - shows vems firmware sends correctly: ** (03EB=) 1003RPM - 01 A3 03 EB 92 ** (07D6=) 2006RPM - 01 A3 07 D6 81 If you see such packets on the serial port (with a terminal program for example), the sending side is configured for display settings / "AIM enabled" and works correctly, and '''the receiving side should (or should be reconfigured to) interpret''' these AIM protocol packets. Race technology sells a dash that they claim "VEMS compatible", so they can read the AIM stream, (to our knowledge) with a fw upgrade that '''only Race Technology can provide; To our best knowledge Race Technology provides that upon request, free of charge.''' To make it clear: '''Race Technology can help to configure the receiving side''' accordingly, not VEMS. ---- I use a datalogger and dash from the company '''Race Technology''', labelled "Vems interface" * '''requires reflash of the interface''', after that '''THE RACE TECHNOLOGY VEMS INTERFACE IS NOW WORKING CORRECTLY, AND READS THE AIM SIGNAL FROM THE V3''' ** the reflash was provided by Race Technology (thanx) ** can we publish the firmware that is required for the [http://www.race-technology.com/dash2_2_31.html Race-Tech Dash2] display ? There were a couple of disappointed Race-Tech owners who gave up, and will be very happy to be able to use it finally. One dash-2 owner kindly offered his device for testing. Here is the reflash, which I got from Race Technology. It's not for the dash2 itself, it's for the Vems ECU Interface. '''CONFIRM WITH RACE TECHNOLOGY BEFORE REFLASHING YOUR INTERFACE''', otherwise this could probably brick the interface! http://www.vems.hu/files/HankMoody/VEMS%20AIM%20protocol%20customer%20reflash%20130225.zip ---- '''Protocol details''' * VEMS firmware sends data via [http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/NanassyPeter/AIM_support/AIM-ECU_protocol.pdf AIM protocol], ** the scalers were made according to [http://www.vems.hu/files/MembersPage/NanassyPeter/AIM_support/AIM-ECU%20protocol.pdf AIM-protocol.pdf] with only minor corrections to match the Race-Tech Motec interface (which was found to deviate slightly from the protocol.pdf, eg wheelspeed 10x multiplier). ---- Other channels: Example of data streamed from my v3: http://www.vems.hu/files/HankMoody/aim-new%20hypertrm.TXT It seems there are more channels streaming from my v3! I also see activity on channels 224-229 in my data. What are theese channels used for? * '''I also see action on channel 133, what is that used for?''' ** '''GPSSPEED''' is sent via channel-133 (5+128 if you like... 5 is traditional wheelspeed) ** valid when nmea-GPS is connected ** Of course, GPSSPEED might be different from wheelspeed: likely more precise on the average (not depending on user calibration and tire pressure), but filtered more agressively, slower response. * 224-229 are AIM_OUT_0 .. AIM_OUT_5, custom outputs ** eg. boostcontrol solenoid output channel, idle solenoid output channel can be actuated by other device, say, round if configured so (very useful on V8 where ++ number of outputs help) ** .. channel=Xe where (X=0..5) ** disable outputs by i7, not by i6 (unless you know what you are doing) ** we'll review your vemscfg in this respect ** however any AIM receivers just neglect the channels they don't know. Chance is 0.00% that disabling 224-229 will get Race-Tech working if it does not work with 224-229 transmitted. ---- Im running v3 firmware 1.1.96 Some of the channels within the AIM datasream are correct. * TPS displayed good (AIM channel 45) * RPM (sent by VEMS in AIM channel 1). '''Examples sniffed in hex from terminal''' - shows vems firmware sends correctly: ** (03EB=) 1003RPM - 01 A3 03 EB 92 ** (07D6=) 2006RPM - 01 A3 07 D6 81 * [http://www.race-technology.com/wiki/index.php/ECUType/VEMSECU VEMS-ecu interface] ** it says "Note: AIM protocol used" and is using the [http://www.aimsports.com/products/mxl-chooser.html AIM - RS232 protocol] that v3 properly sends (when enabled). ---- "logging AIM-Data-Stream from VEMSRound V2" I want to log the data comming from my VEMSRounD V2. * must be a misunderstanding , since VEMS round v2 does NOT output AIM. It understands AIM stream coming from other source, typicelly v3 RS232 or 2nd RS232 see BroadcastDatastreamAim * I don't have a VEMS-ECU i just bought the VEMSRoundV2 and i like to log both afr and egt values to a storage in my ESP32 driven boardcomputer VemsTune von windows works fine, but on serialterminal on my ESP i just get "booted" '''Triggerframe protocol''': "Unescape HDLC 7E between frames", 7D 5D => 7D and 7D 5E => 7E check modbus CRC and the bytes are there ("type" is NOT at the beginning, but type is the last byte just before CRC). Sniff some short VemsTune - Round communication to see some valid request response frames: * 0xA0 short request * and 0x20 response (with all runtime and analog data) Kamuto from http://www.vemssupport.com told me, to ask this question here.
