Ducati Ecu Reflash Software

Archived

It has been a long development process to put this all together. A two-man-show, me doing the hardware side (PCB prototyping, component assembly, testing), my brother (he is C++ programmer) working on software side of this project in about 6 month span. After several hours (clocking about +200h of personal time) and countless £££ spent on PCB board revisions, ECU models, components and prototype mistakes we have finally finished this into viable functional adapter. I would like to proudly present my contribution to the DIY servicing of your Ducati Motorcycle: A completely new design of Diagnostics/Service adapter for the shadetree / garage mechanic.

It all started after huge frustration of getting all of those OBD adapters to work. In my case and also in a case for many of my friends, I could not get to work all of those blue/silver/black OBD Vagcom adapters that you can buy online on Ebay/Amazon/etc with available free DucatiDiag software. Also, available bluetooth adapters did not reliably worked with the solutions for android phones that I have. I have tried many things, from adding USB hubs to soldering components on existing adapters just to somehow find out what was going on. I realised that almost all OBD adapters sold, either in US/UK or EU are clones of OBD made from chinese components, pirated ELM327 firmware and so on. Constant freezing and frequent disconnections was a huge frustration. Spending hundres of £££ on other aftermarket solutions was not an option in my mind.

I set a set of parametres to achieve and went into development, starting from the hardware solution, and have designed custom PCB with the most up-to-date chips & OBD protocols. I am very happy how this has turned out and managed several milestones:

  • compatability with 15M, 16M, 59M & 5AM ECUs. This means that almost all ducati bikes prior to year 2010 are compatible (999/749,916&748, Multistradas, Monsters etc apart from very early models). We are also working on the post 2010 type ECUs but this will be updated with

  • No battery/boost cables with crocodile clips needed. This means that user does not need to access motorcycle battery, all that is necessary is to connect 3 pin diagnostic connector on your bike. This has been designed to avoid these battery/boost cables that can cause damaged ECU when the polarity is switched or manufacturer defect has occured. The new diagnostic adapter is internally providing correct voltage for communication with motorcycle ECU for clean signal. This has additional benefit that you can put your motorcycle into diagnostic mode even with heavily discharged battery (tested to about 8.5V discharged state on my own Ducati)

  • All in one solution. The adapter works on all bikes mentioned and all cables are supplied to be able to connect with them. Eplan software free download full version. No extra licence fees, all future software updates will be free of charge. Ability to backup or upload Fuel/timing maps will also be added in near future, this is currently in development.

  • All available diagnostics codes are displayed, along with Trimm adjustment, TPS reset etc. See the software screenshots below.

  • As mentioned above, the adapter is packed with microchips. All are the most up-to-date available solutions, a lot of effort was made to get them working on a single PCB. We used our own code from scratch.

  • Connects to PC/Laptop with no need to install drivers,. Genuine FTDI chips has been used with the 2015 revised IC that is compatible with all Windows OS. This means that once you plug in the adapter via USB port, all driver installation is done for you automatically by Windows. The chinese clones are using fake FTDIs or troublesome WinChip IC's (genuine FTDI are expensive as a chip so chinese factories are cloning them. We have bought them from the FTDI/Farnell directly to avoid any problems)

  • No need to find out to which USB port you have plug it in. No need to specify USB/Serial port. Software itselfs scans automatically for the connected diagnostic adapter. What we have in mind is a 'plug'n'play' solution so user does not have to search for port assignment in Windows.

  • We have tested Windows XP,Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 for compatibility. We might create a version for Linux/iOS in the future if there is enough interest so you can also use your debian-loaded garage laptop or MacBook.

  • What I think is extra plus is the ability to plug in extra sensors and gauges. We have added functionality where you can add digital oil pressure gauge (that can be bought for £20, we have currently ready prototype in beta testing) or digital manometer for Throttle Bodies balancing.

  • All made and designed in UK. PCBs were done in Newbury PCB factory, Components sourced from UK suppliers, and all software and hardware design including 3D printed plastic enclosure was done by me & my brother in guildford.

The kit for anyone interested consists of: 1x Software with manual on DVD. 1x diagnostics adapter 2x Cable (one for 15M/16M ECUs, another for 59M/5AM ECUs based bikes) 1x USB cable to PC/laptop

Software is bundled free with no future extra cost for any firmware/software update. Any extra functionality that we will develop will be sent as notification via email so you can always have the most up to date software. For the adapter and cables kit, we have set up the price of kit to £69 including shipping to UK (for EU/USA extra £5). I believe this is a very fair price for the given functionality. We have currently 11 kits in the current software/hardware revision assembled and ready for shipping.

Please use this thread for the discussion of the software/hardware functionality only. To purchase, contact me via forum private message or drop me an email to motofurore@gmail.com

Admins : Please note that this is not a commercial post. Although I have registered website for product, we are not an LTD company and do not resell on anyone's behalf. We have regular 9-5pm jobs aside from this project (me in design and brother is Academic), this is more of a group buy/startup post. In the case of any violation, please contact me via PM.

EDIT: 14/03 update

Ok,

so a little update on how things progress over the weekend 12/14 March.

From hardware side, I have finally managed to attach o2 wideband sensor to my termignoni exhaust (I needed to fabricate M18 -> M10 adapter to fit sensor to the my exhaust as the lambda sensor thread is wider than the plug on exhaust). I have also realized that I run quite lean below <5000 RPM and there is a huge difference between exhaust pipes and might need to look into this. My valve clearances are due anyway so probably would remap ECU and adjust valves over some weekend. I am going to send 10 adapters to be fabricated from brass or mild steel and purchase/assemble wideband sensor extensions. Although the coding and prototype is ready, this will take at least a month to be released for purchase as I need to get these adapters cut on CNC.

From software side, we have finally managed to get inside M3C ECU and establish communication and pull out first values. We have siemens/continental ECU from Monster 796 to play with.

This is a great step forward and rest of the things will progress much more quicker now. Some info is coming directly from ECU and some info is accessed through dash/speedometer (that we don't have, so need to source that soon). Features such as sensor values, error codes & error clearing + powertrain elements testing will be added first and after sourcing dash we will also be able to display RPM, speed and other speedometer info. Some of the available functionality is protected by ECU code that is given as a seed and needs to be unlocked, but more on this later. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the M3C ecu is a bitch to access. Development on this will take at least a month to get all functionality on this and I will trickle progress over following weeks.

Over the next week we will issue first update with some extra functionality to 15M/16M users that we missed out earlier along with German language pack, as this was surprisingly a lot in demand. All of this will be of course distributed to anyone that purchased kit to this date.

On other notes, just to show 'behind the scenes' , here is the summary of how we progressed while prototyping:
