Thread: Digital Gauge Software

@ PPE

Sorry mate to bug you but you may have missed my question above:

Excuse me for not doing my research, but will your hardware work with CANBUS? Specifically a Citroen C4 2005 model. I would be very interested if it did...

To add to that..any chance you could post that Nissan skin so I can download your software and try it out?

EDIT..didn't look properly..I see your download link now!

In your case, I think I know where the confusion is coming from. You see, the vehicle reports the RPM in quarters of an RPM. So you have to divide by 4 to get the Engine Speed in whole numbers. If you are requesting it manually through hyperterminal, then you are actually seeing RPM times 4.

I will say in this way. This software doesen't work right with my car. You can see on photos that doesn't show right values and Im shure that my car on idle don't run with 200-240rpm. So Im looking for software where I can "calibrate" this values...

P.S. by hyperterminal I ger values of real rpm so I get 800-900

What hardware do I need for this to work with my carputer setup? Can I use any cable? I download your software. Also can it work within streetdeck frontend or out side the program only?

You must only check PCMSCAN home page...

You nned a OBD11 interface, such as the ELM as well as cables. If you take a look at
http://www.palmerperformance.com/sto...products_id=32 you would see exactly what you require. If you downloaded the SCANTOOL software, you would be best to get their "package" which incorporates the license as well as the cables and interface dongle.

However, our PCMSCAN software has a powerful feature that will be able to fix this. Just create a custom Javascript parameter (go to the Tools menu -> Script Editor) that takes the value of SAE.RPM and multiplies it by 4. Then you should be seeing the proper RPM. Of course, you'll have to edit the dashboard layouts to use your new script RPM parameter.

I have Fiat Stilo 1.9JTD (year 2004) and I don't know if is fully EOBD compatible, I will try do something with script editor when I will have some time...
