Logging ECU on a Macbook Pro
 

Hi i have a MY11 WRX looking into doing some logging for my car have a Tactrix Opensource 2.0 cable on its way was wondering if anyone knows of some software i can use on a mac to be able to log and view my ecu data. can install windows on my mac if required
Thanks Sparr3d

Google romraider and have a read.

only way i know is to probably run boot camp, parallels or fusion (i'm sure there's others). may be the best option

Currently downloading windows 10 for dual boot

Everything i read only has the programs in either Linux or Windows

If its only for logging, you may be better off with SD card logging. You set the SD card up in the tactrix with a text file detailing the parameters you want to record. Then simply press the demist button to start recording. Then i guess you could just read the data file on the laptop.

Or perhaps look at a cheap cheap laptop just for logging. You can pick up basic models for a few hundred.

Ended up loading win 10 on virtualbox have romraider installed with ecu and logger defs just waiting on the tactrix opensource 2.0 cable now

Ended up having to install win xp using VmWare Fusion to run ecuflash and Romraider, had some issues with the Tactrix 2.0 not communicating via J2534? till i installed xp.

BtSsm? BtSsm an app that utilizes SSM K-line/CAN data with an OTG cable and Android device. Best for logging Learning view etc.. and it's fast just like romraider. So yeah never take your laptop out again while logging :)

eg. of my layout. (not connected)

Have gotten it downloaded have the analog gauges setup how do you change to digital output

Fields, then click on the one you want changed. Change gauge type to digital.
Alot just like text readout aswell, and a couple of main gauges.

If you haven't patched your rom to CAN in ecuflash it's a good idea much fast logging and resolution. Than make sure in settings your Ecu interface is CAN logging (the bottom one) if you need any more help let me know. enjoy.
