Re: got my rom burner and datalogging stuff, having some issues...

Datalogging will begin as soon as you choose the correct com port and click on at least one sensor to log. And I have no idea about the CN2 wiring.

yea its cool. at least you helped with the rom burner

also i keep hearing about drivers. is this only needed for the usb method for datalogging? or do i need some special drivers for the serial method as well?

Drivers are only needed if you have a usb cable. You shouldn't need any. I'm pretty confused why your datalogging isn't working either, I am out of ideas. You sure the TTL to RS232 converter is good?

I'd say ditch it for now and try something else, like a datalogging cable with the conversion built in and a serial to usb converter, or try one of those nokia usb cables I haven't used one at all so I don't know much about them except for lots of people saying that they work great on their own.

Right on, I knew it was something dumb like that. Let me know how it works once you get that figured out. Should work perfect because we have checked just about everything else.
