PowerPCM_Flasher: my tool for E38 and E67

[ironduke]

ironduke you may be able to get ahold of him on here http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/i ... 58.0title=

It looks like he logged on here shortly after I sent him a message.. He hasn't replied as of yet. I don't feel I need to chase him any further.

Tazzi might make some changes to help it work, but I'm guessing it would be something of a bandaid to make his tool not follow the actual standard.

I do plan on making some changes which I think should help.

It does not appear to affect any main commercial J2534 applications that I can see, and the J2534 standard does not seem to explicitly state that the transmitted frames require the "transmit acknowledgment", so I am guessing its not actually required when using the raw CAN option.

I am currently away at this moment, but can work on this once I am back.

Well, I was able to read flash now after some edits to the OBDX dll.

It is very picky with what it wanted.. but.. its doing it now.

I did have to copy/paste the GT J2534 DLL into the MDI folder, then rename to match what the MDI expected for it to work.

Latest version of the GT J2534 DLL is being uploaded to OBDX site.

Nice work, well done!

Cool. Slightly off topic, but will OBDX Pro GT handle CAN scanning at full speed in ELM mode I.e.ATMA without any buffer over run?

Well, I run it in my own vehicle without any problems. I don't believe I have ever tried running a bus at 100% load to test it out though.

Realistically... using ELM commands to monitor 100% bus isn't really a smart idea due to how inefficient the ELM protocol is (Lots of byte<->string conversions).

Its much better to be using the byte based protocol (DVI), although obviously requires more work to setup a library to start using it.

Thank you! Very good points! Appreciate the advice and will dig more into DVI

Hi again. Just wanted to say it works with a SM2 Pro clone. I ordered a Dice 2014D. I received a Dice on the outside, SM2 Pro on the inside. Lmao. At least it works. Thanks again to everyone.

it works with a SM2 Pro clone.

Will test )

Ya I ordered a dice 2014d, looks like a dice but its a SM2 pro clone. Uses Scanmatic drivers. Shows up in devices as SM2_USB. It also works with the corresponding software we are not supposed to discuss on this site. Scanmatik;SM2 USB;04.04;;
