Perry,
This sounds like a great diagnostic tool.
Since I just bought a Pocket PC and have no laptop I'd
be real grateful if you ported to run on the PPC.
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: [FlyRotary] EC2 MAP Table

>To try diagnosing a "runs rough at certain throttle
settings" problem on my plane I wrote a little windows
application that can talk to Tracy's EC2 and display
real-time parameters plus upload/download the MAP
table to my laptop.   Here's a spreadsheet of the
resulting high and low speed MAP Tables.  No wonder
there are some rough spots, after seeing this I'm
surprised the engine runs as well as it does.  I'm
finding fixing rough spots hard to do from EC2 panel
being as soon as the engine hits a rough spot the
manifold pressure changes and it hops over to a good
MAP value.  Why the table looks as wild as it does is
a mystery to me but the general trend to lean from
default at low manifold pressure and richen the
mixture a bit at high power is correct.  I'm going to
try smoothing these numbers by hand and uploading
something that looks a bit more sane.

to connect a laptop to a EC2 will be posted after I
clean things up a bit.  Perhaps I'll port it to
PocketPC as well if there is interest.
