As you all know we are now partnering with the MSD/Superchips group.
With that in mind some people have been asking about upcoming hardware options. The answer is yes, we have been VERY busy over the last year in the hardware/software design department.
Before the partnership HPT had planned on releasing not one, but TWO of its own internally designed hand helds. One was a small personal version with 6mb of onboard memory for flashing, logging, EIO, USB pass through mode, etc. Here is a pic of it.
Does it work?? You bet! This base design was released to our customers in a temporary off the shelf case as the beta LS2 hardware
Our second design was a larger version that had more features than you could shake a stick at. Here is a pic with the base display installed.
Since the partnership has taken place we no longer have the need for our own hand helds. With as many years as these guys have in hand held design and production, there is no need to duplicate products. Their new Flashpaq unit is a dynamite device
Since I had to go back and re-design a few things to support the early Ford EEC and Dodge SCI protocols, we are a few weeks behind in releasing our new USB interface. BTW, all of our new hardware is field updatable so you are assured to stay current on any new firmware updates.
Projected release date is shortly after SEMA.
