PCM Hammer 2 Preview

[antus]

Just going to quietly drop this link here for some limited testing. I believe PCMHammer is ready for a 2.0 release. If anyone wants to take a look and provide feedback do so now. You can test the build artifacts here. There is a portable version (loose files, same as how it used to be distributed) and now there is an installer version. I believe everything is updated, fixed, improved and working properly. This is a very big release on top of the original pcmhammer 2 preview version. Note that at this stage the UNO artifacts are still considered experimental and will not be included in the official 2.0.0 release. https://github.com/PcmHammer/PcmHammer/ ... 7083288958

Thank you!

Is there anything in particular you need testing or just general useage and feedback?

[antus]

Just general testing and bug reports if you find any. It's got new functions, its got a lot of code tidyup internally. All the stack dumps on error that I could find are cleaned up and handled with a nice error, rather than a messy stack trace in debug. The assembly kernels have been upgraded with additional protection against DLC overflow crashes (that was the instability that I have mentioned prior that needed to be solved), and because we had kernel stability trouble for so many years it was very hard to modify the kernel. But with the help of AI that mystery is now solved and stability is proven on all the PCMs on my workbench but reports from others are always welcome.

I think it is a releasable quality state now, but I wanted any additional testers here to check they agree before I make it official.

can anyone give a partly intelligent spaz like me a quick tutorial how to get this to work? i tried last time i said i wanted to test and got github and visual studio installed, hooked it to the repo and then got lost in the matrix hahah

Be logged in to github. Go the the link I posted. Go to the bottom and download the setup program or the portable (zip). install it, or unpack the zip and run it. No visual studio, no code, no connecting things. Just the github account logged in or else the download link is not available even though you can still see the page and everything as guest.

please dont tell me it was there all along. if you tell me it was speak very slowly

here we go

for that one I'd recommend starting with something a few tries below a known key so that you can see it finds it without having to wait for ages. Interesting that it settled on 5 sec delay on that PCM. The ones I was testing on needed 10s. So it'll be interesting to see if it does find they key and does not sail past it because of an invisible security lockout. It is supposed to know the difference and if its working it's safely running twice as fast as the standard 10s delay. The tabs behind the main window should still be clickable so you can swap to debug if you want to see the data for extra confidence about what is going on.

It seams to work more stable over all I worked great on the 4 ecm's (1x 0411 1x p01 2x p59) I have on the bench and the black box in my truck I have attached the logs from the black box. I can now do 4x reliably with the black box

Great, thanks for the report! @julespatch, I spent some more time on the brute forcer and got the loose edges sorted. You might want to try this build now. I removed the timing calibration because it wasn't working on all PCM types, and fixed the duplicate log lines, even though testing has proven we can get more through put with more attempts because the lockout works differently. But the UI shows something that makes sense even if what is happening in the background is a bit different.
