I don't want anyone to think I was attacking Jyamona. I had a poorly worded response I deleted. My bad.

Cool story. That's exactly the same as a currently unpaid, one man project, squeezing in hours outside of full-time employment and life responsibilities, etc. Not even getting into coding at the asm level, and working through legitimately unpredictable DME hurdles.
I never gave a release date, and admitted I should have held off posting originally but was excited to share that it worked and worked so well. There's a lot exciting stuff going on behind the scenes now as well, but will no longer be shared until it's ready.
Sorry Jyamona, don't mean to be negative or seem like I was attacking you. Not the case, we are all extremely grateful for what you have done and what you are doing. I was merely replying back to a comment.
And though I don't code...I can assist in other ways if you would like.

I can try to help.
Maybe with grabbing coffee
In all seriousness whenever it is released it will be worth the wait X10. Every highly modified N54 owner has 5 other things they can be checking, upgrading, fixing, maintaining in the meantime.

No, please - don't keep everything in the dark. I'm new to this platform but I can see that you are a tremendous resource and asset. I think it would be interesting to hear more of the details of the behind the scenes stuff. I work in IT so I know how things that appear to be within spitting distance can turn out to take MONTHS longer than originally thought, by seemingly minor issues. Rather than leaving us all in suspense, can you possibly share more of the technical details that you've been working through? I know that won't do any good for the Facebook bros, but for a small subset of the community it would be great.
On the N55 version I have had some challenges. You have to find (or make) free memory of various types by reverse engineering compiled code that uses offset addressing and for which no decompiler or source code is available. When you write new code you have to patch it in safely and make certain you cause no side effects. You have to handle multiple versions. You have to handle error states. One wrong assumption and you have a bricked ECU. You have to write test tools. Overlaps with other project types with some unique twists.
nah, had I known I'd probably just bought the pumps and shit already instead of waiting for a kit
Do you know what you're waiting for? Pumps and shit are nothing to do with this, it's software. The only hardware is the E sensor and it's already been mentioned it will be the conti sensor implemented.
I know exactly what I'm waiting for, I'd just prefer to set it all up at once and together in accordance to their instructions. If I buy a pump and a sensor now from another company, that's the route I'm going. Not going 3 different ways and putting it all together on three different dates etc..
You don't know what you're talking about so quit complaining and filling this thread with bullshit. There is no groundbreaking new way to set up a damn E sensor and some magical pump they're selling. You'll likely change the sensor input wire in the DME box, that's it.
Predicting project completion dates -when you don't know exactly what you have to do in order to complete the project- is a bullshit exercise that's mandated by marketing driven companies and somehow people got suckered into believing is reasonable. The reality is that some things take longer than others when you're pulling them out of thin air or it just hasn't been done before. Anyone that's worked big projects knows that we screw with 2 things all the time; completion date and budget. lol. Keep up the good work Jake, it'll be worth it all when it's done.
Just read this whole thread, it's simply amazing what you guys do for this platform on your spare time! Keep up the hard work we all appreciate it
Been waiting so patiently for this to release! I want everything Flash only. This would be ground breaking!
