A version of the code very similar to 0.1.0 was the first version of FreeEMS to run an engine! That is the reason for moving the versioning from the 0.0.X series to the 0.1.X series. After a few minor false starts, FreeEMS first ran in Baltimore on Friday October 23rd, 2009 at around 2:15am GMT. The first drive was in Pompano Beach on Sunday November 1st, 2009 at around 8:45pm GMT. The first tuning occurred in Naples, Florida at around 1:00am local time on Thursday November 5th, 2009 using freshly written code git pulled from Aaron Barnes in Wellingon NZ in real time. The first significant drive was from there up to Tampa covering ~150 miles and arriving at ~3am. Seat of pants wideband-free tuning continued in Tampa over the next few days after which time the car ran exclusively (and most excellently) on FreeEMS. I drove it from Tampa to Daytona Beach and then up to Atlanta Georgia with Rob Ebersol fine tuning as we went. The first FreeEMS was finally uninstalled on the afternoon of Monday November 9th, 2009 in Atlana after covering around 900 miles or 1500 km. During that time eight people, including myself, rode in and winessed the first FreeEMS powered vehicle.
The version that I used on my B230F powered Volvo 740GL wagon was a little less functional and more hacked together. What you see here represents the same code tidied up and with some minor bug fixes and documentation changes. Also note that the car used fuel-only control, not full control. When an engine is run with fuel and ignition control, I will release 0.2.0 to mark the occasion.
The version of the tuner used to talk to and tune the very first FreeEMS prototype can be found with the following git commit hash 5188317b6e7418238686602d3b787250398f1ad4 or more conveniently at the following link http://github.com/fredcooke/freeems-tuner/commit/5188317b6e7418238686602d3b787250398f1ad4
To get the exact code used on the volvo, take any hash between 97f5ad1f0e6b2ef30bd987c3becc764a5d658bf5 and 0cc18370652f096cbcca2226e779a0370a77b113, go to line 110 or 111 of src/coreVarsGenerator.c, change TRUE to FALSE and build. What you have if you do the above is exactly what I used on my Volvo sans the tune itself. If you want the tune too, the S19 is included in the firmware directory.
