LC-1 not reading correctly in Nistune.

Post by 87calais »

Hey.
Recently Purchsed an LC-1 so i can start tuning, but i cant get it to read correctly in Nistune. If i open the Logworks software it seems to read right, however in Nistune it just pretty much sits on 32afr. If you give the throttle a few stabs it flicks to 8afr for a second before returning to 32afr. I tried adjusting the lookup tables but it only made it read whatever the max value i put in there was. Anyone came across this before?
I have Nistune setup with wideband as innovate MTS and the lookup tables as Innovate. Have looked around in the configuration etc but cant seem to find any reason this might be happening.
In the lookup tables it shows 0v = 8afr and 5v = 32afr.

Any ideas welcome.

Cheers guys
Scott.

Hi Scott

Email me a debug log and your wideband config files and I can have a look through them

It should translate a raw value 0-1023 from the innovate to value between the ranges that you map to

Sorry about the rather late reply guys, haven't been able to spend much time on the car lately.

Originally i was having a heap of trouble getting the wideband to talk to Nistune, I got a new USB - serial converter and updated to the latest version of Nistune and for the most part it seems to work well now. I think the culprit was the converter.

The AFR in the wideband window now updates nice and quick as it should and reads correctly, my only issue now is in the log player, the reading for the wideband is approx double what it should be (double what it reads in the wideband window).

Any ideas on this one?

noted and will have a look into it. like the scaling used is incorrect.

doesnt make sense at this time why its doing that. I've got an LC-1 so can try out here so will give it a go tomorrow and post on here. What Nistune version are you running right now?

Current version is 0.9.2.71

Also i noticed that when i view the consult gauge screen and show my wideband, the needle points to the correct number, but the digital readout shows the higher value. See pic below.

Quite possibly something I've done wrong, but i have checked everything i can think of and cant work it out.

Thanks,
Scott.

On another note, my innovate unit keeps getting comms errors when i use it in the vehicle. Even with LogWorks. I'm going to have another look at that, but might be a wiring issue?

Just seems to freeze on a number (logworks reports comms sync error)

I haven't had any problems like that.

Sometimes Nistune will freeze, but im sure that's just my crappy old laptop. No errors, just freezes. This laptops about 10 years old, only gets used for the car. Might be time for a new one.

Tested the new version, all the numbers look good now on the gauges and log player. Top work Matt.
