I tried this out today. Great code Neil and Sugarbear's package worked well. My results are below. Interestingly I could not get the throttle opening above 89 degrees. I understand that the butterfly valve only actually opens to 82 degrees but that widgets can overread? My only concern is whether my throttle is opening fully or not. What should startrek be showing on a properly working normal throttle?

Is there any way to "graph" the outputs from Startrek - i.e. something that monitors the inputs whilst driving and is capable of then importing those values into a table so that the results can be seen over a period of time?

It's beyond my IT ability I'm afraid otherwise I would do it.
Such is life. Good bit of software for the money. Would be particularly useful if ever the car would not start etc.

I'm sure you could just take the outputs (which are displayed to screen), into a text file, formatted for excel or similar.
The only issue I thought was the speed at which main loop is iterating at, did you say Neil somewhere that the speed is important to avoid the comms being dropped?
I can't remember whether that was the error codes (as off the top of my head, you only go into that section of code once for every 10 iterations of interrogating the sensors) or would be ok to write to a text file within the main (Sensors only, Battery Voltage etc) loop?

FYI regarding logging data. When getting a remote "live mapping" this summer I needed to provide Startrek data, so I took an old briefcase and strapped the pc and a video camera on it. Then the video camera recorded the pc screen with the startrek output. Finally I send the recording as an avi file to Flea. This way I could keep my eyes on the road and had the recording for later analyses.

Haha McFall that's one way of doing it I suppose... Alternatively, have a look here And choose from many free programs which will record your PC/Laptop screen. Much easier..

Fiat style dials? You're welcome to the C++ code for these, Surfer. Is it possible to get this style of display of dials output from the widget on a 20VT or is it an additional something that needs downloaded from somewhere (if it's available)?

Flash didn't have native COM port access last time I checked, but you can compile with zinc (and use the zinc libraries) to add COM port access to flash.
I've used it before to talk to a modified barnacle design (cheers Neil) and it worked fine.

what do i actually need to run startrek on my mac? ie cable wise? i can do all the bootcamp stuff myself...

I haven't had any experience with the mac, but it seems that Wine is available for it: http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/You're on your own there; but I run startrek under linux/Wine with the USB port mapped to com1, with no issues. I believe you can probably do the same on the mac; if that's the case perhaps you'd be kind enough to do a how-to on the subject so others can benefit. There are other mac users on here who may be able to advise. If you do it on the mac you almost certainly won't need to install the FTDI drivers; they're probably native to the mac already. Razor, you need to download the software from my site - http://www.nailed-barnacle.co.uk/coupe/startrek/startrek.html - and read the page! Everything you need should be on there, but don't forget you'll need to install the drivers for the USB adaptor. I've put a link on the page, but make sure you read the installation instructions on the FTDI page!
