The MAX232 is a TTL to RS-232 converter, there should be another chip that converts it to USB. Any luck?

oo...yeah, well the max232 was the closest thing i could find. the chip says maxim, and i tried putting in the chip id, max21ecai or something like that...i friggin downloaded this driver update program that locates all the drivers your comp is missing....long shot, but i tried, and didn't work.

i don't know...i suck at life

Search for one that has an FTDI chipset. The drivers for them are on FTDI's site, and the chipset works awesome.

Alright, so I went to radio shack today and bought a db-9 cable WITH drivers...got freelog open taking readings; getting a/f matching o-meter via logworks. When I try the loopback and sanity check, they both fail...thought I had the 4 pin header (hulog) on 180 out, so i turned it around...same response, but i get rpm and some other readings but none of them are coming close to matching the moates...

any ideas.

also verified that baud rate and com port were the same on freelog and the input from the ecu

if xeno chipped your board mostlikly he took it out already but double check it its j12 small resistor on the left side of your ecu holding the plugs away from you
