OpenFlash Tablet

The OpenFlash tablet, on the other hand, is configured to be an Open Source tuning system with enhanced diagnostic/logging capabilities. Take a look at our BMW application and you will see that it does everything from adaptation resets, in-dash gauge hijacking, logging, realtime displays and (soon) streaming data graphs. The OpenFlash Tablet and Powergate are two very different products that serve very different purposes and are now developed independently of each other. Both have their place in the market however. It's just important to know what best suits your individual needs. This goes for customers and vendors alike.

I'm confused. If I purchase this tablet, all tunes will be editable by me or another tuner, right? And I would also be able to edit any tuners "tunes" as well?

Just making sure. This sounds pretty cool

Yes and yes.

About time we got an end-user friendly tuning device that actually has a display. I'll hold off until someone develops a Flex Fuel map, but I am for sure interested in seeing where this goes. I can't stand the ECUtek model. So antiquated.

Ignition advance multiplier
LTFT
STFT
AFR
IAT

These were the channels that Vishnu requested before they took on the job of development maps for us. If you would like any other parameters added, just let us know. We can even put your logo in the background pic if you want anything customized

I haven't delved into the tuning discussions enough to know, but do our cars benefit from changing the avcs maps. And if they do when will we be able to log them?

Does our ecu have problems sampling a large amount of data like the wrx/sti?

they have stated that this will work on RHD as there is no difference in the ecu... same car just with the steering on the wrong side

Hello,
We've been busy making last minute pre-release updates to firmware and XDF files so I'll make this short and sweet. Vishnu Tuning has updated their website with the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 OpenFlash Tablet so you can order from THERE. They will be receiving the first shipment of units on Friday so they should start shipping out that same day.

Video instructions will be online within the next couple of days and I will create a new thread at that time.

Currently we will only be "officially" supporting US market 6MT cars. 6AT support will come shortly thereafter. And then non-US market support shortly thereafter. If you have a non-US market car and want the Tablet now, you can certainly install it, read your ROM and email it to us. Within a few days we should have enough of it defined to provide Stage 1 and Stage 0 tuned files. But it could take take several days if the ROM is considerably different than what we have seen so far.

For the first batch of orders, we are going to be a little more "hands-on" just to ensure that we properly support each ROM type. So when you get the Tablet, all you will do is:

1) Plug Tablet into your OBD2 port and read the ECU (takes 2 minutes)
2) Disconnect Tablet from car and plug into your laptop (via supplied USB cable).
3) Download your ECU file from your Tablet and email to us (email address will be provided in the supplied documentation).
4) Within 24hrs, we will provide you with baseline maps for you ECU type. At this time, this will be limited to Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stg1 is for a car with stock exhaust components. Stg2 is for a car with modified exhaust components. Maps for E85, race gas and boost applications will come in the following weeks.



You will also be provided with a download link for the Tuning Software which will allow you (or anyone else) to make unlimited tuning changes. But I suspect most users, unfamiliar with tuning, will probably just play around with simple things with launch control/Flat-foot shift RPM settings and Rev limit smoothing. But the ability to change any value in any defined map is there which should make any tuner very happy. Data-logging and on-screen data viewing will be enabled by the end of month as well. So those who want to get serious with tuning can either use another datalogging tool or wait until that feature is enabled in the OpenFlash Tablet. Datalogging is not going to be necessary for using the off-the-shelf Stage 1/2 maps as they are reasonably conservative.

That's it for now. Video and map editing instructions will come next.

Have a great night!

side question, can this be used to turn off tpms light?

or any possibility of this in the future.

on vag cars its one of the things that can be done with vag-com, would be nice here since the toyota software doesn't allow for it.
