For fun, I thought I would start a thread where anyone can ask those pesky 'stupid' questions that you were too afraid to ask.
To start, something that has been bugging me for a while that I haven't seen a good explanation of.
long coding vs short coding vs adaptations?
I know coding is the stream of bytes and bits that various controllers use to maintain their configurations/preferences/settings/etc.
I do understand that the vehicle electrical system is a network, not unlike an ethernet network, different devices send different packets with all kinds of different information. Other devices can read and/or return responses to other devices messages.
Long coding is obviously the really long string, and short coding are the shorter ones (less than 10 positions?).
I am not sure why or what determines the coding length, other than than I suppose the module itself.
I am not sure how adaptation(s) work, and how they are related to various settings/tweaks/etc, or to the long/short codings.
so if anyone can explain 'the long and the short' of it (pun intended) in simple man terms, that would be awesome!
and don't worry, I have plenty of other stupid questions to ask if no one else steps up to the plate.
