All,
Are there any advantages of upgrading to Ostrich 2.0 from the Xtronics Romulator i currently use?
I'm half sold on buying one, but not too sure from a hardware perspective whether or not it's worth it.
Matt, are there any Ostrich 2.0 specific features that will make their way into Nistune?
Advice / criticisms / comments please.
Ostrich 2.0 vs. Romulator
Moderator: Matt
Moates 2.0 is protocol compatible with the romulator, so communicates the same to NIStune
It appears to run the ECU with out the problems of losing data, skipping when changes are made or dropping changes, like I have noticed with the romulator
It is also a smaller unit and runs directly off USB without the worry of requiring ECU power to allow uploads (my romulator requires ECU power when using a USB-Serial converter... because the romulator uses the DTS line to get 5V from the PC but not all converters have this)
It also has a full 64KB of emualtion, whilst the Romulator I only has 32KB of emulation
It also will support hardware maptracing once they get their firmware working
It is a much better unit
