NexGenEFI News
Since the previous update there has been alot of progress on various software and hardware.
NexNODE
NexNode is the input board which provides 8 User Defined/selectable inputs. They can be voltage or resistance based. Also provides VR Speed, 2 EGT, Tach inputs along with CANBus inputs and CANBus termination for future use. This data can be selected and displayed on the Pro Edition digital dash.
One bonus is if you’re NOT fuel injected but want to run a Pro Edition digital dash, with the NexNODE it gives you the ability to do so.
While you can use any sensor (assuming you know the voltage/ohms range), sensors used in testing are from Lowdoller Motorsports. LowDoller Motorsports provides a technical datasheet with their sensors which have voltage/ohms range.
NexNODE is going to be tested in the next 1-2 weeks on a carbureted LS with various sensors. Once tested it will be available for purchase.
NexGPS Software
Currently the Pro Edition digital dash utilizes a Bluetooth GPS receiver which can be purchased from various sources. This Bluetooth GPS Receiver provides the current speed of your vehicle to the Digital Dash. This option, depending on which product you purchase from other vendors can range from $80 – $150.
Currently in development is an Android application (with iOS next) that will be a free download for NexGenEFI Users. The NexGPS software will provide vehicle speed and odometer to the Pro Edition Digital Dash. Vehicle speed can be in MPH or KMH, user selectable. While the refresh rate of a cellphone GPS might not be 10hz, for a free solution it is a viable option for the price of free. 🙂
NexGPS Hardware
If the free NexGPS software does not refresh as fast as you’d like because of your cellphone limitations, then this is another option you will be able to purchase.
In development is a custom GPS PCB to provide Speed and odometer data at 10hz refresh to the Pro Edition Digital Dash. It will be competitively priced compared to other 3rd party offerings currently available. The PCB is currently being printed and should be here in a few days. Code is trivial, just needs testing against
Haltech CANBus harness
Available is the Plug-N-Play Haltech CANBus harness for the Rebel LS ECU and any Haltech ECU which uses the same CONNECTOR AND PINOUT as the Rebel LS ECU. This provides a power, ground, CANL and CANH to the NexLINK and Pro Edition Digital Dash.
NEW EFI System Support
Haltech EFI is fully supported. From their current line to the new Rebel LS!
Holley SNIPER EFI is in testing and going really well. Looking to have this available in the next two weeks.
LINK ECU is in testing. Some bugs to fix and then will go back into testing. Shooting for availability in the next 2-4 weeks.
Updates to the Pro Edition Digital Dash
Two new “Race” layouts for the Pro Edition. The Race layout enables the user to have 9 additional user selectable datapoints to display. Precision and Utilitarian has been added to the mix.
In addition, the data processing algorithm has been enhanced and increases the data refresh speed. Other changes are going to be listed in the Release Notes.
NEW Product in design
There is a 12.3″ display in the works. Software is still being written, hardware not finalized yet. Demo below.
