New Diagnostic Software for the MBE ECU now for the AJP

[EvoOlli]

In the last weeks I made a new Diagnostic Software for the MBE ECU. With the help from Scotty_D I could make a version which works on the AJP V8 too. So if you are interested look into the following thread in the Speed Six Forum:

Hi Alistair,

you have to buy a Serial / USB Converter. These are around 10,- Euro and normally all on offer should work. All these Adapters are using one of two different Chipsets from FTDI or Prolific. None should have a problem with my program.
If you plug in the Converter and install the drivers it will create a virtual COMx port. You can select this COM Port in my software. You can check the assignment of the port in the Device Manager of Windows.

The cable is an easy cable with 3 wires. But I'm sorry that I can't tell you where to plug it in. In the SpeedSix Cars there's a plug with 3 pins under the dash. But in the older cars there was a serial 9-Pin Plug on the ECU Board.
Maybe someone from the Cerbera-World should know :-)

Yes, there's only one version for both engines...it detects the ECU automatically.

If it's the same as with the newer ECUs you don't need the resistors. They are only needed if you want to do live mapping with EasiMap as far as I know.

Just I assume I ignore the Reset Throttle button on the AJP8? Setting the pots up as per the service manual instead?

On the SpeedSix you normally balance the throttles and then push 'Reset Throttle' while engine is idling to tell the ECU the 'Zero'-Position. Don't know how it works on the AJP, but I would think it's the same approach.

OK, I understand. On the SpeedSix you don't touch the Throttle Pots, you only reset them and the ECU sets approx. 15% at this point.
The Speedsix doesn't have an idle valve.

So maybe I should disable the Reset Throttle Button in AJP8 Mode if it's not usefull ?

Your adaptives are complete out of range, it looks like your Lambdas are not working because both show 0V, which isn't normal...
