Bluetooth communication
11/24/09 at 11:20:10
 
Time to join the 21st century and move away from the legacy RS232 serial communication currently used by MyECU.
Using bluetooth will enable PDAs to be used to communicate with MyECU.

With a firmware upgrade most existing MyECUs can use bluetooth.

I've settle on the eb301 bluetooth module from http://www.a7eng.com/
There are 2 variants that can be used -
1) eb301 Bluetooth Serial Adapters (3V/5V Interface with Onboard Antenna)
2) eb301 Bluetooth Serial Adapters (3V/5V Interface with UFL Connector)

For the DIYers you can get them from a7 direct and add the lan cable to connect to module to MyECU instead of the current serial adapter. Only 4 wires are used and it's a simple job to do. Details to follow.

For others I'll connect the cable for you. There's some finishing off required, boxing it. Myself I'll probably just wrap it in electrical tape and tape it to the bike. I'll announce pricing soon.

Cool stuff.

Would it be possible to put one of those in the Optimiser too? I guess the question is would the Optimiser firmware need to support it - or can I program this thing to a speed and it will remember it? Maybe you already added this support to the Optimiser as well?

I'm considering the alternatives to mount this vs the alternatives for switching between Optimiser and computer:

1. As a separate dongle, like you describe. Then I'd just disconnect Optimiser and connect the dongle.

2. Just the same, but inside the Optimiser. A small switch could be used to turn off the Optimiser and effectively turn it into a BT dongle. Or even better, the switch could alternate between Optimiser being read-only or BT being read-only. That should work, shouldn't it? I have considered doing that with cables, a working Optimiser and read-only logging at the same time.

3. One inside the ECU with a small external antenna. And another one inside the Optimiser, with built-in antenna. No cables but the Optimiser still need to be powered from somewhere.

Maybe #2 is coolest because it will let me have the Optimiser running and still a read-only BT connection to a logging device.

Do I have other, better options than these?

Typical. I should have placed the order earlier. BTW I'm going for #2 of the above post for the time being.

Think most people will tune most of the basic map like before.
But,

My scenario when BT would come in handy f me:
I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, at sea level.
Main riding season temp is between +15-25C.
If I tour to the Alps & Italy, I may come to + 1500-2000 m altitude & +25-near 40C Temp.
Would be real handy to just take my cellphone and adjust those parameters. Cool

Still the same message and they don't answer email. Cliff, do you have some of these in stock?

I've been watching that too. They are incredibly unhurried in getting online. Business must be good.

I bought 10. I had been waiting for any price changes but I'll put these up base on the price I got then.
See my the other post that I'm about to make.

I have a half dozen bluetooth modules available.

For the DIYers, the module by itself is AU$40. You'll need to buy a standard network cable.

I can provide the bluetooth module  with cable attached for AU$60. It still needs boxing.

You will also need new firmware. No cost if I send you the image for you to upgrade firmware yourself. See - http://www.cajinnovations.com/MyECU/Support_and_troubleshooting.htm .  Parts for a programming cable $10

A spare ECU chip with the latest firmware is available for $36.

Postage is additional

Hmmm. It looks like A7 may have gone tits up. They've lost their domain name.

Most of the new functionality is in the logging and faster map loading. Currently a few old features are missing ( individual cell editing via horizontal sliders ), waiting to be re implemented.

Beta testers only at this stage.

OK.

I suggest you skip the Apply button i Global map adjust window so noone makes the mistake of altering fuel or ignition twice as much as meant.

Good idea. That's always caused confusion.

I wasn't able to find a new source for your bluetooth adapter, but I did find this one:
http://rovingnetworks.com/rn-24.php
It looks like it has possibilities.  They also have a driverless dongle available.  What do you think?

1. If a Mini P8 is flashed f Bluetooth,
is the EcuControl 150 required f communication via RS 232?

2. Or, if a Mini P8 is flashed f Bluetooth,
is 232 communication no longer an option?
