The ability to use the proprietary protocols (Subaru = Subaru Select Monitor/SSM & Mitsubishi = MUT) which provide access to all the ECU's in the car and allow much faster access than the OBD-II protocols

Evoscan is basically written in XML, and you use a checkbox to select which data you want to log. There is also a gauge maker included, which you can toggle.

Basically you'd want to diplay the readouts for RPM, AFR, Load, etc.

I am new here (first post), but this is one of the main features that I want to use CF for with my Mitsubishi.

If there was a way to show the gauges within CF using the MUT protocol then that would be excellent.

Can CF log all the Data (or maybe thats better off left to EVOScan). Great way to see what the handbrake was up to when she leaves the tank empty or the kids are out with the car.

I'll register my interest in having EVOSan supported

I'm going to wait for the new SDK to come out, then I'm going to have a crack at gettign SSM supported. It won't be an embedded version of Evoscan (I don't want to reinvent the wheel and who is going to want to reflash their ECU through CF anyway?), but just something that shows readings and some basic logging or something. I'd eventually really like to get video recording with SSM/OBD-II overlayed like Capture! on mp3car.

I've only got past experience with VB6 so it'll be a learning curve in.net and will take some time, but David tells me the new SDK will include comprehensive examples to start with.

Yes, you can use ELM on subaru's but you only get OBD-II info, not SSM

If you can get this working I will love you forever. Sign me up for beta testing please.

On the openecu.org forums someone once posted an open-source (GPL) commandline datalogger written in VC2003. I can't find it on the site any more, but I still have a copy of it, including the source, you are welcome to both if you'd like to study it, or perhaps modify it for your own program.

Worst case scenario, I managed to modify it to log to stdout rather than to a file, so you could compile it as a standalone .EXE and then POpen() it for reading from within a VB program.

Thanks for that!

The link nemo posted, is a complete program for retrieving SSM data and it's written in .net so that should be a good start for me too.

A plug in would be great. I currently use EVOScan but I would prefer to use it integrated into some sort of frontend.
