As always the most current version of the program can be found HERE

You will need a flash kernel for the program to be able to read a PCM however things like Vin number change and identifying the Pcm will work. You will need Microsoft Visual Studio installed to run the program, we do not have a ready to run copy avaible at this time since this is still a work in progress.

Things are getting wrapped up with stability for "in vehicle" reads and a flash kernel that will be suitable for general use is complete as well. When the software is ready for use and available in a .exe format you can be sure every one and their brother will know about it.

We've learned a lot from mistakes made in previous attempts to do this by others(open source flashing) and are making sure that the outcome of this doesn't suffer similar drawbacks.

Can you tell me what hurdles we would have to port things to MacOS/Linux? I think I would be able to relatively easily port the program to C++ to be able to compile in linux based systems. My guess is the AllPro USB interface would be my best bet for getting something actually working (i.e. reading/writing to PCM) since it is programmable. Any initial guidance would be much appreciated. As my first step I was thinking, I'll would port the C# to C++ and run a command line based interface, create some unit-tests for it.


A little of where I am coming from, I'm new to the PCM Tuner world, I have +5 years programming embedded realtime systems in C/C++, and have a engine swap project with my father that needs a tune. Looking through the forums and devices/software selling over $100s, I can't get myself to purchase that when I know we are simply reading/writing bits.

 

One of the next things on my to-do list is splitting the current code into an executable that contains only the GUI and other platform-specific stuff, and a library that contains everything else. The library will be written to .Net Core, which is available on Mac and Linux.

At that point it might be easier to write a command-line tool in C# than in C++.

 

 

There's a free version of Visual Studio now:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/
Far as I can tell, it's comparable to what used to be the "Professional" version.

There's also Visual Studio Code, which is cross-platform:

I haven't used it myself but apparently it needs to be configured for C# / Net after you install it:

We have a Slack channel - if you PM me your email address I'll send you an invitation.

Thanks in advance for helping out!

 

bump it up. whats new?

 

Any updates yet?

 

It's been slow lately but I think we're pretty close to releasing a version that can read the full BIN file from the PCM. Maybe within a couple weeks.

 

awesome. i better get my hardware bought.

 

I'm also interested in the Ls Droid flash for p59 and p01 haven't got a chance to test the p01 alpha version

 

The USB version of the AllPro adapter is the best way to go...

http://www.obddiag.net/products.html

The web site is a bit primitive, but the hardware is great.

 

My app to read and in time write P01 & P59 calibration data(possibly OS as well)is developed in tandem with the Pcm hammer since they use the same flash kernels.

If your referring to the version that writes the Vin, Serial number and Seek/Key..... the P01 Alpha version has been posted with the relevant Youtube video for a while now. To get Serial/Seed/Key working with the P59 requires a flash kernel and since it hasn't been written yet the app has been on hold. It's hard to complete an app when half of it doesn't work yet.

Eventually every thing Android related I've done will be rolled into one app.

 

can confirm ls droid alpha works great thank for all your help pete!

 

Got Droid alpha to read, but it won't write, I suspect that my cheap BT adapter is to blame. Which adapter is a good one to buy?

 

I use the OBDLink MX and it's seems legit

 

Have you tried to write serial number? I've only been successful with Vin write

I want to try the Bluetooth all pro for the android app. Can we confirm that the Bluetooth all pro works for the Vin and serial write?

 

As of about 2 months ago the Allpro BT was not working yet. The only "off the shelf" adapter that is working right now with my apps are the OBDlink Lx and Mx.

Serial write in the Alpha version only works on the 512K pcm's currently. Vin write works on both 512K and 1mb.

 

^ yes both vin and serial on p1's only vin on p59's

 

My vcx-nano clone connects and reads Info, would be interested in seeing if it will read and write?

 

It should work with the Windows app, when we release it. I don't know about the Android app, but PeteS160 can fill you in there.
