the story about this idea: i have a complete PC installed in my car (91 Caprice), beside using it for mp3s, videos and navigation, i wrote a little prog to read the ALDL stream of the car (at that time it was only the ALDL 160 of the stock TBI), to display some data on a little dash LCD.
the PC 7" VGA Display:
the dash LCD:
since i made the conversion to TPI, i have no longer the ALDL 160 stream, so i was wondering how i could use the 8192 stream in an easy way - so i had this idea:
if TunerPro simply could write the data which it shows, into a file (i mean not a datalog of the stream, but the finished data like they are shown), and there would be a possibility to run TunerPro in background and let it start and connect automatically (i thought about windows autostart), i could use a very simple self-made program to control the dash LCD.
The big advantage would be, that with this solution, it could be used with any available .ads stream files from TunerPro, so it were usable by many other applications too.
I know, it sounds like too much work for too less profit, but seen from the programming efforts, i don't think it would be too much work.
run TP in background and write ALDL stream into a file?
