Sounds awsome, but I dont know if I would want to test it and pay 249.00 for it. But you know its got to be a kick ass product because its from moates.

[chris]

From what I understand is these are still in testing and will not be out to the general public till the end of the month. Im assuming to see if any bugs pop up.

[foumer]

anybody know if this have on board data logging?

[sewell94]

I've been wondering if its going to be any better than the orginal demon.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

i might throw down on one for my ectune test

[snm95ls]

Fuck yes!!!!!

I am totally hording some money for one.

Craig Moates is my hero.

I'm sure I could get on if I asked for one.  My life is such a clusterfuck of pulling this and plugging that and always looking for a cable that I WILL own one.

FYI, fourmer?  It's a HULOG and an Ostrich built into a daughterboard, that you connect to via Bluetooth.  Moatsie was telling me a year and a half back that he was getting 30 foot ranges in his back yard, if the ECU cover was left off.  I'd love to pop off the Bluetooth chips and insert a higher powered broadcaster so that I could sit in the shade @ the track and fap to datalogs without running all over the place.

That would be nice. I'd be willing to pay alot for something like that.

Seems like a sweet product and its only $40 more then a Ostrich and a HulLog  :yes:

[SgtB]

I wonder if the blurtooth chip takes plain rs232 as its input?

[DmC]

Man a Bluetooth ostrich would be great. I need one.

[Joseph Davis]

SgtB, it most likely takes TTL, which is the same thing as RS-232 just a different voltage range means on and off. 

You can do all sorts of conversions, TTL to serial (traditional RS-232 datalogging cable), TTL to USB (current HULOG and the like), serial to USB, etc.  Bluetooth is similar, it's just another protocol but it uses RF instead of a cable.  From the computer's side of things it sees a COM port, and doesn't care.  I have a china Bluetooth board I keep meaning to fiddle with.

On that note, Bluetooth is a half-duplex protocol by nature (the antenna can't send and receive at the same time) so the way the Bluetooth is implemented for the Ostriches there ends up being one send COM and one receive COM.

[SgtB]

Yeah, I was just wondering if it was a raw serial stream. I've messed around with low power 433mhz links and Xbee's. Xbee's are nice because they take raw ttl serial data and then add their own flow control and data checks. They're a little steep at ~$20 a piece, but they drop right in. I've also got some of the $4 433mhz links running, but I have to run a Picmicro on each side to do flow control. It's cheaper though at about $8 a piece, but not near the range and reliability. They sell Xbees with up to a few miles range. Just thinking out loud...

[Joseph Davis]

Not a bad idea.  FYI, the Bluetooth provision for the Ostrich/Roadrunner is a Sparkfun BlueSMiRF (or one of the other models) and I bet the Demon is similar.  It shouldn't be terribly hard to download the datasheet and see what's up, install something else in it's place.

Hmmm... you don't suck, my friend.  Thank you for the idea.

[SgtB]

Anytime. I'm going to have to check those datasheets out as well.
