Default Re: I'm a bit frustrated

I should also add while I'm here, that I am no longer afraid of my computers and have programmed a canbus reader (STM32 based chip) connecting my car to an old laptop I am just going to dedicate to this stuff. All things Crossfire. I need to rig up the dualboot so I can have windows on it again. (yuck) but some opensource applications aren't linux compatible. Problem I have now is I need to locate a database that can translate the hexadecimal bits into human readable ascii. If anyone knows of a DCB database for the 2005 or ANY crossfire for that matter, I'd be grateful. The bluetooth obdII is nice, but I'm interested in the CANBUS communication as I have watched it live. Lots of data exchanged and it happens fast. I suppose I can manually decode it with a hex decoder but I'm not sure if it will work and if someone already has, that would be ideal.

But anyhow, that's all I got for today. I have a lot of maintenance things on my calendar. Position sensors to replace, spark plugs to swap. I did the air filters which took care of a hesitation when I hit the gas. I have a secondary air injection fault I need to fix, probably the check valve, but my registration was due two days ago and I don't believe I'll pass smog without that fixed. Still, things are lookin' up.
