New Moates hardware almost ready for primetime....

Almost ready for primetime.....quote from Moates website below.

Quote:
We've got two products that are about to be released. They both bave been heavily beta tested, with base functionality fully proven and all the extra bells and whistles being added in. They are as follows:


- QuarterHorse: Full emulation for pre-2005 Fords with RAM shadowing and logging. This means bumpless realtime tuning as well as datalogging for all those EEC-IV/V with a J3 port. Single mini-USB connection, fully native software support. All the emulation and data flow looks fantastic, now we're working with the software/firmware side for data translation and legacy compatibility.


- Demon: Emulation, datalogging, multi-map, imbedded board with all kinds of bells and whistles for the Honda OBD1/P28/P30/JDM. Too many features to list, this is a single-cable internally-mounted solution. Will be compatible with all popular software (eCTune, Neptune, Crome, etc). Emulation works flawlessly, and datalogging protocols are being polished up for enhanced throughput and flexibility.


There's plenty of other products on the horizon, but these two are coming very close. No release date has been specified, but be assured, we're moving as quickly as the hours in the day allow.

I still have my Moates using the J3 port. in the svo. Has not given me any problems what so ever. Just think of what I could do if I knew how to tune it!!!
Good product at a low price.

Quater Horse update

A quote from Craig on our yahoo list....

Quote:
Ok folks,

Everyone is asking, and I've been sorely remiss in keeping quiet. We've had our
heads down taking care of all the standard 'life' stuff and getting this new
product polished up and ready.

New project name: QuarterHorse

(someone else wanted to use all of the mythological creatures / Dungeons and
Dragons monsters, so I let them have the 'Pegasus' name for an unrelated
offering to avoid confusion)

Status updates:

- In summary: 110% Success!

- Form factor adjusted to fit nicely in all the EEC-IV and V packages.

- Datalogging on the A9L/A9P advanced significantly. Both bench testing and
in-vehicle completed.

- Most data can be picked up WITHOUT CODE PATCHES, and the rest can be harvested
with some minor register shuffling.

- Several custom code patches were implemented successfully during testing to
move values around, pull ADC directly, render internal timers/counters, etc.

- Thanks to Paul Booth for helping me get my head around the 8061 stuff. Thanks
to others too, but Paul's the man!

- Performed live datalogging at 500+ frames per second, ALL data in external RAM
is shadowed accurately. Internal registers can be (and have been) remapped as
visible with patches if necessary.

- Simplified protocols for high throughput and easy legacy compatibility
updates.

- Details to follow for you software architects out there, but look forward to
an instruction set that has been streamlined.

- 100% nondisruptive realtime updates, you can upload entire binaries back and
forth / over and over without disturbing vehicle operation at all.

- We're digging into the BMD0 strategy (Marauder test vehicle) to flesh out the
EEC-V datalogging at similar data rates if not faster.

- We're actually polling the EEC_IV stuff faster than it updates internally (see
spreadsheet). Maybe the EEC-V will keep up with us? Nah.


Future 'nice to have' Features not available for introductory release but
(possibly) to be added later (will likely incur additional cost and require
bench update by sending it in):

- Multiple binary loading for EEC-IV, possibly EEC-V also.

- Remote breakout box accessory device for black-box logging capabilities, data
display, remote switching, ADC channels, Bluetooth, etc.

- EEC-read capabilities to read 'stock' ECU contents like the F2E or
EECSucka-type devices.

Production and distribution status:

- Rare species! Three units in existence: one has been in the field with Jody at
DP-Tuner for months doing emulation on the Powerstrokes, one is in my hands, and
one is on its way to Paul Booth for delivery on Wednesday.

- 10 new boards are in hand, to be completed for further field testing and
development this week: There's a short list of folks who have helped and have
one of these coming to them. You know who you are, so no need to ask. You'll be
getting your units within 2-3 weeks from now, software guys obviously get
priority.

- First 50-100 full production units are to be completed and available by
February. I'm serious this time, no more schedule stretching!

- Pricing will be $249 initially, not to exceed $295 later on. Available from
http://www.moates.net

Here's your data preview:

http://www.moates.net/zips/testa9l.zip (watch out, it's 8 megabytes unzipped!)


It's just under a minute's worth of data, but there are almost 150,000
datapoints (5 parameters HEGO1/HEGO2/RPM/MAF/TPS at around 500 frames/sec).
There's loads of optimization still available, theoretical limits are much
faster. But again, we're hitting the parameters faster than the EEC can keep us
posted, so we're well into the overkill zone on much of this. And that's where I
want to be.

What will you possibly do with all of this data? That's up to you, it's your
vehicle!

Hope this helps,

Craig

The Moates QH is now shipping......

For those of us that really like the ability to change things on the fly while the car is running this thing works great!!!

This is what the TwEECer-RT was supposed to do 5 years ago...........

So I guess I can buy a 80mm MAF and bring the SVO to you for a tune.

For the cost of a chip of course

I knew I should have waited 2 years for this. Lee, I will be watching you on this.

Yep if I still remember how......

Well maybe....if you want to do real time data analysis....

I will see if I can find the you tube video that someone made of it in action during the software test phase.....
