I think there is a need to send some periodic message each x seconds to keep the bus quiet.
A 3f message each 2 or 5 seconds will do the trick.
There is also some low priority data that can be requested on demand by the tool, that also keeps bus quiet.

I just noticed malware reported in another thread. It seems ls1flash-free from 2014 has suddenly been flagged by google as malware, and so now every download on the site is flagged in firefox and chrome. I've checked, and thats the real false positive. Ive asked google to check, we'll see what happens now. Quite a big impact for a sudden flag of 6 year old software. But I think they like screwing the little guys so here we are. Hopefully its fixed soon. There is nothing wrong with the files in this thread, or on this site.

It uses 2C, but there is more than one way to use 2C. You can either ask the PCM to send a batch of dynamic PIDs once (which is what it's doing now), or ask it to stream the DPIDs (which is where I had the reliability problem). The "send DPIDs once" method is far faster than using mode 22 to request each PID individually, but the streaming approach would be faster still.
EFI Live probably uses the streaming approach. Or they might be using high-speed (4X) bus mode. Or both. I haven't experimented with 4X at all yet.

I tried sending 3F message every 2 seconds, but that wasn't sufficient.
I don't think I've tried sending "suppress chatter" messages though. That's worth a try.

I think that was where I learned most of what's in the code now.
I've improved on that very slightly, by requesting up to 3 DPIDs at a time. The tricky thing is getting the ECU to send data continuously.

If you mean passively recording everything on the VPW line, that was on my "some day maybe" list, but now that you're making such good progress on that front...
This release is totally focused on logging batches of parameters from the PCM, just for standard tuning purposes ("under what conditions is the engine knocking?"). But if we can find some good parameters to log from other modules, that could happen in a future release. I have a hunch we could get brake pressure from the EBCM for example. I haven't tried yet though. And I'm a little concerned that the data rate would be too slow to be useful. I get about 6 rows of data per second just logging from the PCM, which IMO is just barely enough, and pulling just one parameter from another module might cut that down to 3 or 4 rows per second.
On the other hand, I also think that I could almost double the data rate if I (or someone) can figure out how to command the PCM to send data continuously rather than querying for each batch of data... but I haven't been able to get that to work reliably yet. I works for a while but it randomly stops. I'm pretty sure it's possible with some more experimentation though.
I've actually already found the PID to get brake pressure.
Send: 6C 28 F1 2A 03 41
You will get a response:
6C F1 28 6A 41 00 00 05 00 00 1D
The 1D is the raw voltage value. If you poll this and then press and release your brake pedal, you'll see this value change
I found this while sniffing traffic from my Tech 2 and found this PID. I believe the hex value is a 0V to 5V scale of the signal. Assuming 0x00 = 0V and 0xFF = 5V, then 0x1D = 0.56V, which is what I read from my tech 2 with the pedal completely released with engine off.
While my sniffer python script seems to work ok, it has some issues (particularly that python is slow as hell).

Is that the point of the 3f message? Looking at some of my datalogs where my tech 2 continuously polls the bus, I see a 3f message transmitted periodically but the module sends updates automatically. However, when i send the exact same message request, I only get 1 response, where the tech 2 gets a repeated stream... No idea why i get different behavior unless a 3F message being sent does something about that.
Here's a text stream of a Tech 2 polling the ABS module for PIDs 20, 21, 40, and 41.
You see that the module responds immediately and sends multiple updates, then the other modules seem to send a 03 (module heartbeat) to the bus. I'm genuinely confused by why the ABS module sends multiple updates... I'm almost thinking that my OBDX VT Pro is dropping some messages... The first 3F message isn't sent by the tech 2 until many messages after the ABS sends messages.

This looks like DPID data?
The Tech2 setups a bunch of PIDs in a DPID, then requests the module (ABS) to start spamming the messages.
The tech2 needs to keep sending a "tester present" message which is the 3F message you are describing to keep the data polling

Here is some logs and a file with some commands to control pcm. It can give you a better understanding about how to set ip up.
Setting up is the channels is the trickiest part. You need a list of all the pids the pcm supports, if you request non-supported pid the pcm gives an error.
And than there is some priority byte that is not fully understood. Mimic the commands set from the logs can prove it works reliable.

Thanks, that looks very helpful! The logs show a mode $10 message at the start of the logging session, which might be the key thing I've been missing. I'm going to try that plus some different DPID IDs and see if streaming will work.
