I find it a little disapointing that the standard Win32 C++ library does not provide an iostream for the serial port. I found this on Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129219

Which might make the beginings of a cross-platform communication abstraction layer which would assist in the development of future tools (such as tuning software config loaders and datalogging)


From a VEMS user:

"My LCD seems to have taken a s**t. It works fine for about 5 mins then the screen changes to loads of weird characters and jibberish. I turn off the car and restart and it works for 5 mins again, then does the same..."

He's running Version 1.0.23

A: I've seen this on a few cars too, changing to shielded wire (shield attached on LCD side), and not a longer cable than needed, it got much better.

Today the problem seems to have stopped, which is in its self rather worrying.

Mine does that too sometimes - it all comes back OK when I type the mli command.

see MembersPage/DavidBlades/FanTest for my notes on the problem.

The closing times are also needed (it is the function of injector current and flyback voltage). The flyback voltage actually makes a huge difference.

The opening times are not (by far) enough to calculate GenBoard/Manual/Config/InjectorOpening parameters. You can start from other's values, make sure
