Good stuff Dave...:D

So does mine!

Laugh all you want about computers in cars. Jaguar and Land Rover were one of the first to develop the ECU applications using Matlab's Realtime application suite on (you guessed it) Windows PC's. So next time you Puma, D3 (D4?), RR etc dies simply close all the windows and open them again before restarting:twisted:


I've got the Puma booked in to LR Darwin (yeah I know...) in a week or so and so will have to check this is OK to be done still.

By the way Mahn you do realise that HAL is a right binary shift of the letters IBM

I am sure they would have used the Unix version of Matlab :p

Btw - I thought it was Toyota which first used Matlab (Simulink) for ECUs...?

Had ours done last Friday - same time as they cleaned EVERY connector under the bonnet (FIIK why).
Anyway - the initial observations are:
a lot quieter starting up, more power at take off - the 'flat spot' has disappeared.
Have noticed that in 4th at 60-65 if I put the foot down - it goes - not like old when it used to hesitate.

Heading to the dirty big rock tonight and meandering back with the hoards of other yotanisabishis' to Flinders Ranges so will have a decent test out there.

Well, I got my car back today with the new ECM file installed. Can't say I could tell any difference in driving the car, however the idle does sound different. I guess the real test will be tomorrow morning......

PS I might start calling the ECM in my car Holly! :D

Not according to the blurb I got from Mathworks a few years ago.

There are only 10 types of people in this world, those that understand binary, and those that don't :)
