New (Low cost) Datalogger for Megasquirt
Hello,
Having run with Microsquirt for a while now, one thing I felt that was lacking from the package was an easy way to log data. I could have bought a
datalogger, but very few of them support megasquirt, and they tend to be expensive, especially since its not something I strictly need. I've
been using Arduino for a few other gadgets recently and decided this would be a good base package for an automotive datalogger.
So, meet Loguino, an open source datalogger, with support for Megasquirt (and variants) and GPS support. The cost to build is around 100GBP and it
will log to an SD card which you can plug into your PC and pull the data off. I'd love to hear from anybody who is interested in using it,
either by email, pm, or ideally using the user group on the site.
It's not limited to megasquirt users, it already supports GPS and an accelerometer, and shortly will support analog inputs (pressure sensors,
tps, etc) and a gyroscope.
The website is here: http://code.google.com/p/loguino/
Best regards
David

why didnt you just buy a ms3? it has an sd slot and can datalog any item on the ms. also i think if you can get a gps gyro mdule that will output data
in real time onto a canbus then ms3 will log that too.
good work though nice to see people going the extra mile.

Nice as the MS3 is, I wanted a logger that worked with the MS I had, not the one I didn't hence why I built this, I also want one logger design
for the various cars I drive rather than switching between various ones.
The geek in me wants my car to just upload its log data for analysis whenever its in range of the garage too, but that part is for another day.

That sounds pretty cool to me. Nice one.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Very nice work.
I am an Arduino and MS fan too, now I am drawn between the MS Android interface and this approach. Tricky.
What sampling rate can you get out of an Arduino? I assume combine the MS log and the additional parameters so that you are sampling at around 60ms.
Cool

Anybody seen this?

Looks pretty good. I don't think its available yet, still under test.
Not that cheap though.

Matt,
I'm getting around 5hz sample rate, I think I can get higher, but I need to tune some of the delays and timeouts. Its throttled at the moment
as it was a little too fast initially. On my todo list is to profile the code and see what it's waiting on, my guess is the SD card as it
flushes after every 20 metrics (about once every 2 polls) which will take a while. I think I can up that considerably before badthingshappen(tm)
Just need to spend some time actually driving and get some data
