| DVDBURN this is really interesting. Nice work! Are there any developer papers or other info for the z ECU? What do you think about making it for a embedded system permanently mounted in the car with some very nice display graphics? I am somewhat of a linux geek. I also like to build embedded systems. Most things I build are just really for fun and I would never have the time to write a full diagnostic program like this. I dont think my programing skills are that complex. Simple things that are either to do a specific task to make my life easier or just little small programs I wrote to see if I could get it to work. I have been dreaming about building something I could use with the 300zx. An on board embedded diagnostic computer I have been dreaming about. Although the practical and my minimalistic style has really stopped me from looking more into it. Your post kinda makes me want to look into it. It would have to be simple and practical though. Not to long ago I built a small system based off a mini-itx motherboard, solid state memory for ram and harddrive with additional standard harddrive for storage and a nice video capture card. I built a gentoo linux OS for it and have some nice linux video recording, editing and burning software. I hook it up to my digital cable and use it like a TIVO except without the limitations you have with DVRs. Such as unlimited storage space and the ability to edit burn and store the videos. Its very nice although new hardware is available for HD. It was very fun to build. I have thought about building a much smaller, fanless, shock resitant and solid state memory with a very small LCD panel that is permently mounted that can by used to display info while driving, make on live nistune like modifactions and do the standard consult diagnostics. I would prefer to use linux since it is really awsome for embeddeed systems but I dont think I could write my own software that complex for the ecu. DVDBURN sent you a IM.
