Browse your Bike! - GS-911wifi - All will be revealed!

<< < (2/4) > >>

StephanT:
this was followed up by a question as to whether it can be left in the bike permanently, to which I replied the following:

good question!

Unlike the previous GS-911 models, the new GS-911wifi has power saving options...
It looks at the ignition pin on the Diagnostic connector (for the bikes that have that) and/or the Battery voltage. If you have a look at the iPad mini screen capture below, you will see that the Battery trigger level is set at 13100mV, thus 13.1V (or ignition pin if it is available).. when the voltage is below that the interface waits the Delay time (in this case 180 seconds) before going into sleep mode.

It then automatically wakes up when the Ignition Pin (on the diagnostic connector goes high), or when the Battery voltage goes above the set level. Alternatively you can press the mode button too.. when in sleep, pressing this button will wake the interface.

naturally you can disable this function and it will not go into sleep mode (typical for workshops etc)

--- Quote from: SteveD ---I'm confused about the use of this device. Maybe someone that understands the site's notes can help me sort this out. Can the WiFi version that is compatible with the K1600, be used to reset the service reminders? The note says it can only be done with the PC software. If I understand it properly, I can connect it, via WiFi, to a Windows based PC and reset the service reminders. But, I can also connect it to my iPhone or iPad, but just not be able to reset service reminders (as well as some other unknown things). Is this correct?

Thanks,
Steve

hi Steve

allow me to explain a little more...

the GS-911 PC app remains the main app with all the functionality. The new GS-911wifi has wifi and USB with which it can connect to the PC.

Then in addition to this, the device itself contains an Embedded server, with the Emergency functionality for each motorcycle model, thus:

* Read ECU info,
* read and clear Fault codes
* read Real-time information (live data) for ALL Engine control units
* (and then a little additional functionality on some models and control units)
In addition to this, you will note that the GS-911wifi is Cloud ready! ..but what does this mean...
This enables us to start duplicating all the Service Functionality on our server.. and once done, you will be able to use ANY client device, (read non-Windows PC), to have access to the Service functions too... naturally this will require a good/stable wifi connection and internet access...

We still have a number of things on our ToDo list for this year - from additional Service Functionality on all our supported K001 models (the K1600 and Wetheads etc.). And once that's completed (early next year) we'll be starting the migration of the service functionality to the Cloud!

here is some more info (also available on the Quickstart Guide and Brochure/Flyer available for download from our downloads page:

with the definitions of each here:


hope this helps!

here are some screen captures from my iPad mini, connected to a R1200GS Adv LC (K51). Connection was D2D mode, thus iPad connected directly to the wireless network provided on-board the GS-911wifi device.. this could be in the middle of the Sahara... no internet connection what so ever!

here my iPad is connected to the D2D network provided by my GS-911wifi device (serial number of my device ends in 0082)


I can find the device using the free launcher utilities we provide for Android and iOS devices:


this opens in a browser and I see the homepage:


I select the Series:

where I choose the R-series:


where I see the possible controllers on a K50/K51 model:


here are the "Emergency" functions for the Engine controller:


here is the ECU information for the BMSX Engine controller... note all the FW versions, serial number, I-levels, manufacturing date etc.


The engine controller also had a faultcode - note the text description for the fault code number as well as the additional detail in the fault code history:


and finally, here are some of the real-time values on the BMSX Engine controller...:

and


enjoy!
