WinBin is confusing me bigtime!
OK, I got some stuff to start burning my own chips. I decided to install WinBin and play with it a little bit to learn it. Where do I begin? The numbers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1A,1B,1C...what the hell kind of counting is that? How do I go about defining these varibles and actually knowing what I'm programming with that kind of numerical system? Should I find out how many munbers there are and take it from there?
Also, where will I get more info on the specifics of the definitions it uses? Things like VE lower table and extended spark advance? Things I don't hear of often. Sorry I sound like I'm whining but I'm kinda dissapointed I know this involves alot of time but didn't think actually defining specifics in the program itself would be hard and boy I hope this doesn't get locked. I already read Traxion's article. Somebody please help...thanks!

Go back to the Trax's intro doc and look for links to Bruce's Tuning Tips and Programming 101. These answer your other questions.

Not one person here has been pissy to me for asking stupid questions because everyone has had to start where we are. I have gotten nothing but helpful people. hectorsn

Learning internal combustion engines is easy since I pretty much know all about that and related topics. It's just the program, but I guess having to convert to numbers which actually make sense does just that, makes sense. I'll go ahead and look into it more, apparently there's more to it than meets the eye. I don't want anyone holding my hand, but that question seemed rational to me at the time. Just bear with me.
I'll go ahead and try to understand the program alittle more. Just looks intimidating I guess. Don't wanna **** something up in the program and mess up my new engine. I figure I should be good to use my factory 350 '89 chip for the time being, even though it'll run alittle rich, just to break the engine in. Shouldn't take much, it's a roller motor. We'll see what happens.

No problem, we all have questions as no one knows everything.

There are several lower VE tables, and they
vary.
Some mean throttle closed.
Or for greater resolution at lower rpm, like 200 rpm intervals, whereas higher VE tables use 400 rpm spreads.
Or just the way GM wanted to split up table size.
On extended spark it's similiar to the fuel, in so far as how a particular ecm handles figuring things.
Generally, "we" try to keep the locking and deleting to a min.. If you asking questions about Prom Burning and not to far off subject it ain't a problem.
radio shack used to have a neat little calculator that was handier then using acessories calculator for doing hex conversions.
