I saw those too. I got this one:

Works good, 40 pin, usb etc. Only the software can be a bit of a pita to install. Is the Willem programmer better you think?

Beepee, so I haven't really messed with TunerPro much, but now that I downloaded your "kit", I'm not having any success with the provided xdf/bin combos. When I open them up, I get no data, no maps, nothing except values of 0, and not always as many as I would expect to see.

I have a 984 xdf file off of ECUproject that I can use to open up some of my other 900 series bins and have a look at things, but I can't open any bin successfully(EZK or LH) with either of your xdf files. Anyone else having trouble with this?

Nice thread.

Hagar17 · 01-23-2011, 03:24 PM

noob question - what is a bin file?

I did. Which is why i asked if you needed ostrich software first. I open the xdf, then the bin and get zero, zilch, nada. I am going to toy with it more later. There are a lot of how tos for tuner pro.

Gotcha, yeah, something is amiss then.

It's a file ending in .bin that contains all the numbers that the ECU/EZK looks at to determine what it's supposed to be doing at any given time. So, we modify that, and get custom maps that work for our application.

DNAsEqUeNcE · 01-23-2011, 04:05 PM

This.. is really cool, and the dutch brother's video is hilariously excellent!

beepee · 01-23-2011, 04:06 PM

Not sure what's gone wrong... Driving home, will check soon. Sorry, guess thats what I get for waking up at 6am.

I just re-downloaded my zip file onto my PC at home and it seems to work just fine. Are you using TunerPro v5?

I'll add a step-by-step for setting up TunerPro into the OP. Just make sure you are opening the XDF with the XDF drop down menu, and the BIN with the regular file menu... I have accidentally opened XDFs as BINs before and been confused,

so perhaps that's what's going on?

It'd be really nice to have some type of definitions in the first post so it'd shed light on the subject so it's not all words some people may not know. There's new lingo here I don't know so maybe the gurus can help everyone out here?

OP updated with description of XDFs and BIN files.

Also when starting at the normal value (buffer and chip start at 0000) the car didnt want to start with it. the chip didnt give any trouble when writing/reading.

JW, may be speed rating is wrong? Most memories have access time in ns (e.g. 27C256-70, that 70 is access time), if this chip has slower access time LH will have trouble reading from it.

Reg. tunerpro - nice piece of software, but unfortunately still very buggy, frequent crashes, no compatibility between XDF versions, and sometimes weird user interface. Considering the small utilities I wrote, they were a hack and the new version will be a lot more useable, offering preliminary support for most used EZK chips - 147,169,208 and 219

Hey dude when's the next version of LH2.4 Studio coming out? I can't wait!

Also, going to send you a PM in a bit.

Well I guess in a week at most. I hoped to finish it for the christmas but didn't have enough free time.

I just checked the version, it's 4.14... I was uploading the bin/xdf files correctly, so no wonder! Thanks for bringing that up. I'll get the latest!

Hagar17 · 01-23-2011, 05:13 PM

so.... I can use all this to lean out my boosted AFRs a bit? (currently like 10 or richer!)

how easy is that to do exactly? As in using a WB and roadtesting.

klr142 · 01-23-2011, 05:21 PM

Yes. Grab a friend, grab an Ostrich 2.0, download the programs, go to town!

gross polluter · 01-23-2011, 05:25 PM

Glad to see this taking shape for the LH2.4 community. This is good stuff.

klr142 · 01-23-2011, 05:46 PM

Doh, turns out I'm screwed for the moment. My 1998 Dell Latitude CP won't run TunerPro V5 on Windows2000.

Are you sure you don't need a runtime? What's the error message?

klr142 · 01-23-2011, 07:17 PM

I'm not sure(I'm mostly a Mac person). It says Tunerpro.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
