Steve Wilson Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi Just bought a Link G3, installed it, and its plugged in and mapped tomorrow. I've installed a car-pc for runtime displays with the LinkPC software, and I've seen a couple of old posts about customing the PC-Link software to make more "intersting" gauges, but it seems these projects never came to life. Well I'm a software engineer with quite a bit of spare time at the moment and I'd like to have a stab at making some skinnable displays for the in-car PC displays. Is there any guides on how to extract the information coming through the USB drivers, so I can set about a new project? If I make it, I'll happily share the software I write. Cheers Steve.

redmist Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I've completed something on the same general theme. For my needs I wanted reliable data recording in my offroad race car. So used an EEEPC which is enclosed in a plastic box to ensure it doesnt get mud or water in it. I log both Link and GPS USB serial data. Still working on the analysis software but have been using the limited ability of Excel to point to potential issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
