They go by many names, P01, P59, VPW, '0411 etc. Also covering E38 and newer here.

Pretty much what I'm doing ... Although I'm working on a breadboard, I'll do a box after I have all I want so I don't have to do a box rework!

Here's a couple pinout notes(p01, p59) for use when building a simulator. I haven't built mine yet but it's on the list.

I use Textpad(free) and if opened in that it should keep the formatting correct. It will also view bin files.

It seems I used to use it as a front end for assembling code back in the day too. Nice program

That JimStim and JimStimX Expansion board looks handy.

I ordered one of the expansion board kits. I could have breadboard something, this is compact and labeled and I'll make different db37's for each type ecm/pcm to plug into it.

Funny this topic came back up. Been working on this using the Haltech bench simulator.

That looks nice, pricy too. I didn't see it on their site, how much is it? Does it do the encoded 24x? Ray Hall makes one too but he gets all the money and not sure it does the encoded 24x either.

I can't afford one of these gizmos so I just build a little at a time till I get there :) My Arduino Nano's just came in today(smaller than your pinky) so this weekend I am going to try to assemble the Ardu-Stim(crank/cam simulator) to work on it :)
