I've been working on a little project I call Datazap - www.datazap.me

Over the past couple years I've noticed a pretty funny trend - it happens in every other thread when someone is asking for help: people post screenshots of charted data logs that have the wrong data presented, and then people have to ask them to post the raw CSV/XLSX file… and then those people have to chart the logs themselves. As of right now that process is a thing of the past.

After you sign up (for free), Datazap allows you to simply upload a data log and it creates a page and generates an interactive chart for you. You can then share that URL and anyone can go in and interact with the chart themselves. For example, here's one of my data logs to play with: http://datazap.me/u/jpsimon/3rd-4th-gear-pull

Here are the features for now:
- Turn on/off data sets by clicking their name
- Hover over the chart to view the numerical data
- Click+drag to zoom in
- Cap the right-side y-axis so things like off-throttle lambda data doesn't skew the chart (drag the slider on the right)
- Add multiple charts to keep things less chaotic looking
- Click "full screen" to see a chart in full screen mode
- You can save an image of the chart (click the little file icon in the top right)
- Download the raw CSV file right from the page
- Share the page with specific data loaded automatically

if you're too lazy to click the link above and test it out, here's a screenshot:

Along with being able to interact with the charts, this allows you to keep track of your data logs. I personally have a hard time keeping data logs in one place…. and it's especially annoying for me to go back and find a specific one. I think this helps you keep track of things a bit better. Once you sign up, you get a page and all your uploaded logs will be listed there for future reference. For example, here's my page (with just one uploaded log): http://datazap.me/u/jpsimon

This is a work in progress, but I think it works pretty well and hopefully you guys will all find it useful. You may run in to issues, so just post them up here and i'll try to help. I just switched hosting and email services... so fingers crossed it works!!

Basically everything us BMW owners would use to log with (and any other cars Cobb supports) are supported out of the box without having to change anything with the files:

- PROcede, OpenFlash, Cobb, JB4, Bavarian Technic Cable, RomRaider, EvoScan logs upload fine without any changes at all!



Hope you guys like it!

very nice!!

[jpsimon]

oh also, I suggest using this in Chrome, Firefox or Safari. If you're an IE user it may work fine but you should really upgrade your browser

Very nice..

Thanks my man, hopefully I can use this when I do my PTF pro-tune to make things simple....

[2Times]

You are one smart guy. Thank you!

[jpsimon]

Thanks guys! Also, feedback is of course welcome. I won't be doing big changes on the graphing end of things for a bit, for now I think it works pretty well. If you have csv's from other platforms give those a whirl too - I've learned the hard way that CSV's come in all sorts of encoding flavors, so if you run in to issues post them up and I'll try to make it work

Youre a beast JP, thanks for putting this together. Ill give it a spin tonight

[Wedge1967]

JP, you rock man. What a concept. Absolutely brilliant I must say!!! Are you taking donation?

[deathbunny]

WOW great job!

[davidwarren]

well this is awesome.

[3000GT MR]

Very cool. Great job. Hopefully this calms down the "i hate reading jb datalogs" " i hate reading procede logs"

[JStang]

Awesome!

[Dmacc]

Excellent work JP, thank you for this!

[jpsimon]

I just added BT Cable compatibility info to the site - it has the same encoding issue which requires re-saving as "windows comma separated .csv"

I wouldn't say no to donations. I'll put it towards the small hosting costs and/or beer. I just threw a donate button on the contact page

Donation sent. Next round is on me brother.

haha, thanks dude! reload that datalog page you just created, i had to fix a couple things on my end - the engine speed will be on the correct side now and the user image won't be in comments any more

Wow this is awesome, just made an account. Thanks for doing this for the community! My only suggestion would be to make it so people like JB4 users don't have to delete the extra text or change the file name. Maybe make it so when you upload a log you can select JB4 from a dropdown and it will automatically do all of that?

[jpsimon]

Next thing i do will make it so you don't have to delete the text from jb4 logs - like how it currently works for procede logs. There was an issue making it work the same way for jb4... i'll get it fixed sooner than later.

The file encoding issue where you have to open some up and re-save the different CSV format is not something I can fix super fast. It will require some other processing to convert it. I'll work on that after the jb4 thing - no promises on getting that to work though

just awesome!
