Speeduino ECU
On a totally unrelated forum I heard about a Speeduino ECU which apparently uses Tuner Studio. I was asked for some help with a project, so wanted to check it was a legal use before proceeding.

Re: Speeduino ECU
If they are using our comms algorithm, it is not legal.
Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

Looks like another one trying to sneak in the back door, if you ask me (which no one did of course!).

Re: Speeduino ECU
It's not an MS clone - by what I've seen of it (pics etc). It's an Arduino based open source project. But I know very little else.kjones6039 wrote:Looks like another one trying to sneak in the back door, if you ask me (which no one did of course!).

Do you mean the protocol, or the parsing code? Can you copyright a protocol, I thought you could only copyright the implementation.muythaibxr wrote:If they are using our comms algorithm, it is not legal.
I am in no way involved in said project, just to make that clear.

Re: Speeduino ECU
Yes, I realize it's not a clone. My comment was in reference to the concept of using TunerStudio. Gotta be something wrong with that!DaveEFI wrote:It's not an MS clone - by what I've seen of it (pics etc). It's an Arduino based open source project. But I know very little else.

Re: Speeduino ECU
http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 12&start=0 have a read on this it sounds like they have permission to use it with tuner studio.

I am guessing that Phil may chime in here and put all of our minds to rest.

Re: Speeduino ECU
on a side not while looking in to this i came across an arduino project called: ardu-stim which is an Arduino based crank/cam wheel signal generator that may well come in handy to megasquirt users.

Re: Speeduino ECU
It says on phils website that his software is used with a number of different ECU and MLV in particular is very usable by many applications that store in CSV format. Says some universities are even using it for data analysis. I have used data from winlog (tech edge) and displayed it with MLV. Not that hard to do.
Find the Manuals up top under Quick links: Manuals.

Re: Speeduino ECU
on a side note, I use that all the time (ardustim). Its clunky but works brilliantly..grom_e30 wrote:on a side not while looking in to this i came across an arduino project called: ardu-stim which is an Arduino based crank/cam wheel signal generator that may well come in handy to megasquirt users.

James and I designed the comms proto, and they don't have our permission to use that. Assuming they are using it.grom_e30 wrote:http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 12&start=0 have a read on this it sounds like they have permission to use it with tuner studio.

Re: Speeduino ECU
I appreciate all keeping an eye on these things as we are continuously fighting MS2 Pirates and there is commonly groups of people using TunerStudio without permission.
From looking at the ini, they appear to be using a protocol closer to the MS1 protocol. A basic request reply protocol with no error checking.
To my knowledge the Speeduino project is quite different from MegaSquirt, I believe it is primarily a small group of hobbyists.
In the case of speeduino they did originally start using TunerStudio just because it was there, but did then request permission. I have granted that permission so their use is fine.
