7 May 2007:
Decreased coil dwell time to 2.0ms. artificial rev limiter mentioned in 13 Oct 2006 update is gone.
Installed and calibrated new wideband O2 sensor.
Installed and calibrated EGT sensor in header at collector
Installed GM temperature sensors and uploaded same firmware as before (1.0.45), but without patch for Bosch sensors. This gives more accurate readings than manually configured Bosch sensors.
3 October 2007:
The suggestion
"can you get snapshots (via TerminalProgram) of the wbo2 LCD page (the one with Ri:...). If the Ri or nernst target is not reached, ego correction might be disabled"
was made on MembersPage/MattiasSandgren/EgoCorrection
mde01 enables wideband O2 sensor parameter dump (mde02 enables wbo2 even with stopped engine, so mde03 does both). Lines like w=.... are emitted via the serial port: that is binary content.
"wbo2log.pl" perl script should work capture and format it. Yes, it is still valid. Should run on either Linux or Windows.
Source for logging: GenBoard/Manual/Config/WBoxygen ?
Is wbo2log.pl still included in newer firmware versions? I do not see it in 1.1.64. Is it still valid? Can some of the tools in the firmare/bin directory of the firmware versions be integrated into VemsTune?

Future Plans:
- Add relay and switching gear to properly set up launch and shift control.
- Add EGT sensor and hardware if necessary. Completed.
- Change connector on endplate for common DB9 cable fitment. Completed.
- Change over to standard GM IAT sensor for more accurate readings. Completed.
- I'm sure I'll find something else to add here.
