Can someone explain what can be accessed using the rovergauge software and cable on a Chimarea?
Thanks in advance.

Who actually sells this kit?

Blitzracing, Colin Bourassaor, or:- I just received an email from a "Denise" after enquiring earlier - now totally confused who's actually involved????

Please con someone confirm and give proper unconfusing details please?

It's not a kit, it's a cable and freeware that people here can point you to. You'll need a modicum of PC knowledge to set it up, there are guides that that we can share with you.

Cable here

- Colin Bourassa wrote the software and provides executables for Windows and Linux FOC plus the source code should you wish to compile it yourself
- Blitzracing can supply the link between the ECU and a PC. I believe there are other sources too, or you could make one yourself if you are good with electronics. It is not just a cable
- You obviously need a PC or laptop with Windows or Linux installed and configured to run it
- There are detailed instructions on how to use the software supplied with the software. Blitzracing and others also have considerable knowledge and are very helpful

Hopefully this clears up any confusion wink

Could it be that there is more than one supplier?

I purchased the cable from Blitz (very helpful guy) downloaded the software and all was good.

Much easier in my opinion than trying to build a cable by yourself.
Looks easy enough but why change a winning team.

Blitz and the software guys have done a sterling job !

Just to clear up any confusion. The "Denise" referred to was my partner, and does the basic Email queries and despatching the cables, although I do full back up on any technical issues or queries. There is another seller on Ebay, but its just a cable with no software, documentation or support, and its the same price as the cable " kit" I sell.

There is not a supply problem at all with the RoverGauge Kits, just the ex Mrs is on a canal boat for a few days so cant post any until the end of the week. I one have available if someone is in a hurry. Nothing serious going on here, as you where.

Rovergauge Q:

I don't use a pc. So is it possible to copy the drivers and software from the net or preferably the disk, to a usb stick?

So as to be able to use my Tablet?

Seems disk and laptop is somewhat "old school" now, as tablets load instantaneously, just can't be doing with the wait and hassle of a pc, eh?

Is there an opportunity for a technowizard here, methinks?

Anybody help?
