The packets are about 150 bytes long at the moment. This equates to 600 logs per second or so,

Actually, it's more like 67 logs per second.

You are right damn it, I thought that sounded funny...

The google calc was * 9 for bps ...

google calc correctly...

Ahhh well, best I edit those posts...

...and get some more sleep...

You know what, I should be able to pump out the port T byte with minimal headers VERY quickly though (> 600/s). What does that mean? with a time stamp, it means scope of inputs and outputs from the EMS's eyes which will be VERY handy indeed with a suitable display :-)

It might be worth throwing ports A and B in there too to get full ignition injection and trigger signals alligned on a log screen logic analyser style :-)

From that you could get RPM, duty, timing, dwell, and maybe more with absolutely minimal data and slightly less than perfect resolution. Exciting stuff IMO.

About the video for 0.0.18, you can capture the screens w/o a camera. Check this link from blender, about blender video tutorials.

It's a video tutorial about how to make a video tutorial. Would likely work well for what you did with a camera.

Thanks :-)

Mate, Abe just pointed out that the index is boring as hell. I just googled and found it can be improved quite easily. I'd like to see that stuff and the config you use to generate it included in the release so that it's JUST a matter of generating it for you :-)

Also, I can update the existing docs to work a lot better with it...

Have a look here for the index stuff :

and here in general :

Let's make this as awesome as humanly possible :-)
