OpenFlash Tablet: Pedal Dance Mode
 

Hi guys,
I briefly mentioned this in the datalogging thread but here is the official announcement :)

By the end of the week, all OFT users will have access to new selection in the OFT's Diagnostic menu:

When you select it, you will see this:

When you click YES, you will see this:

When you click YES, you will be driving without any form of driving aids. Also nice is the fact that you will still be able to datalog or data view with the OFT while you are in this mode.

To disable the mode, you simply need to turn the ignition OFF and then back ON.

The engine must be warm when selecting this mode. This means idle speed must be normal (not high for warm-up). If you try this command before the engine is warm, the OFT will give you a communication error :)

We should have this uploaded to our update server later this week. So all you guys will need to do is connect your OFT to OpenFlash manager and let the updates take place. You will also need to update to a new Template file (#7) which will be available for download from our website soon.

Cheers,
shiv

PS. Props to Silver Ignition for making this suggestion :)

You really know how to treat a lady @Shiv@Openflash

Awwwww YEAH! You've done it again, Shiv! Thanks for a great product and AWESOME support! OFT worth every penny spent!

This is truly awesome. Does the OFT have to be plugged in for pedal dance mode to stay on, like the weird OBD port thing that FT86SF sells?

I can't wait for autocross this year.

Awesome

This is great but people who track their cars want to plug in a lap timer/gps logger into the OBD port. I wish the next version of OFT comes with a lap timer built in so I can retire my AIM Solo DL :)

Can't believe the value I'm getting with my OFT. @Shiv@Openflash you're killing the game. Killin' it!

Oh crap, I need this update by this weekend for the local Autox!!! :burnrubber:

Glad you guys are happy :) From my testing so far, the OFT does not need to be plugged in once the pedal dance command is sent. However, the car will only remain in pedal dance mode until the ignition is cycled. After that, it will default back to normal TC/VSC ON mode until you send the command again. Pretty simple stuff!

Nice work Shiv, I'm really impressed with the updates coming so long after release. Shows true headroom in the product hardware and support for the community, well done!

Save me, Jeebus! That's cool.

ETA: Any chance the OFT will ever go wireless with a BT or WiFi dongle?

Thanks Shiv!! By the way, there is a typo in this image:

Tuing instead of tuning :) It's present on my OFT too, probably a simple update :P

Oh, and thanks again, because it can never be said enough :D
