I have the MPVI2 with the Pro Link, and am currently using one of the 2 analog inputs for my WB input. I am wanting to add more inputs for some transducers for extra channels for my dyno. I would like to see live data on Fuel Pressure, and Trans Line Pressure for sure. Possibly some others as needed in different scenarios
Nope.
I am working on a can bus module that appears on the bus as an AEM wideband so we can get more channels in through the back door. I should be able to get an extra 5 analogs into the scanner. Then through serial port emulation and translation can get another 1 in there.
Stupid to have to hack it to get extra data channels.
It would be good if HP supported the DLP-IO8 or DLP-IO16. Dead simple 8 or 16 channels 0-5V with a polling rate of around 20Hz. Bloody perfect for everything that we ever would need.
^That sounds very interesting..
There is a thread for wideband datastream integration in non can bus vehicles. I think it is by Dr.Mike. That might offer a solution too.

Hjtrbo keep me in the loop. There are several things in different scenarios that would be beneficial to have in the scanner
I stumbled across these and said "WOW! Finally!"

...but I talked to them and they said those ONLY do AEMnet-CAN and cannot be configured to do normal-CAN like the -0334 because allowing that would be totally dumb and stupid and why would anyone ever want to do that? Great.
I had a play with the HP serial channels. There is hope....
It is easily possible to use the DLP-IO8 and bridge them into the scanner. I mentioned in another thread about going down the can bus route, but I am scrapping that now. (serial not so fun, back to can) Should have something up and running by the end of the week. (edit, doubt it) Currently working on another little project at the moment that is nearly finished.

Hjtrbo let me know asap if it works please. Im down to donate to the project. Im just not very smart on that side of computers
Any progress? I am also willing to donate $ to the R&D fund for this.
nah, no progress yet. I went to go with serial after a quick test but could only get 1 channel coming in so it was pointless to go further with the time I had. Looking to go back to the canbus route. I wouldn't be holding your breath.
So, sense this seems pretty hopeless (at least in the short term)... What about using some sort of stand alone ECU as a separate logger in the dyno room for multiple other sensors. This seems like the only other alternative to have any data I might want displayed on that particular car/day. I know It would be two separate logs, but at least I could see the data. Any ideas on this thought?
It shouldn't be this hard to have at least 5-6 inputs on the PRO version of this hardware/software
Look into megalog viewer. From memory a license is about $50. Its vcm scanner on steroids.
