Hi,
I need to know if there is a device to read the blink code on the dash-board.

Where can I find it? Sad

In your owners or workshop manual, would help if at least you said what bike you're talking about Rolling Eyes

No idea what you are talking about bud.

Are you wanting to read the ecu fault codes on fuel injected bikes?

If you are talking about FI fault codes then no it won't as different makes/bikes have different systems for reporting the codes, long and shortflashes, needle sweeps etc. What's wrong with counting them yourself.

Yes, but in some bikes you reading the fault code on dash-board. The number of blinking led(led on, led off) or the during of led on /off it determines the fault code.

I want to make a automatic tool (with software) for interpretation the fault code. First time show a graphic signal, afther add the database with any protocol and codes for any makers.

How are you going to read the number of times the LED blinks into the program?

Yes SOME bikes, but not all, you said any bike, what part of they don't all report faults the same did you not understand?. Honda for example use long flashes to denote 10's and short flashes to denote Units so you've got to also measure duration as well as count the pulses, others just use the short pulses then you've also got the needle sweep method. There isn't a standard for the codes so the same number means different things on different bikes. You apparently haven't got an FI bike so why are you bothering?, you don't need one, everyone else just counts when they have to and dealers don't need them as they have the plug in diagnostic kit. If this is some kind of college type project I'd forget it.

Some bikes use things like moving the tacho needle to a specific number.

Might make sense to make a database to keep a record of all the different codes.
Would seem a bit stupid to have a machine to 'read' these when most people have perfectly good eyes which can do that already Smile.
