turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Well I got turbo-edit working and was just testing it out on the NA rom, and that 2step feature is freiken awesome! The only thing that won't work for me is the datalogging. I tried both of the stock d16a6 roms with datalogging, one has a different baud rate or something (shows how much I know). But is there some special way to get the datalogging going? I tried opening up a rom, opening the datalogging window, then clicked 'start datalogging' but nothing happens. Ideas?

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

You get the MAX233A hooked up correctly?

Make sure you used the correct COM port. There is a green power light that comes on the MAX233A.. It's pretty straight forward.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

What is that, the cable? I had J.Davis set up this ecu for me including the datalogging cable. As for the com port there's only one on the laptop so it should be the right one? On the datalogging window it says in the bottom left "connected"...and the sticker on the cable says rtm60302

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Do you have the baud rate set according to the ECU Control page?

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

I don't know if I'm retarded or what, I just looked through ecucontrol.com and couldn't find anything on it. FIA I haven't tried ecucontrol yet...I just tried turboedit's datalogging. Is this set up compatible with it Joseph?

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Truthfully, I have never used TurboEdit. I'm whoring the OBD1 lately for Blake.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

It is compatible... It uses the same routine that the PGMFI members wrote into the ROMs.

All TurboEDIT, and ECUControl do is poll the ROM, and manipulate the data that the ECU sends back.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

I don't know if I'm blind or not, but can someone point me out to somewhere where I can read how to set up the baud rate?

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Well, I don't use ECUControl, but in TurboEDIT, click on View -> Options. Then just put a dot in what baud rate you want, then click OK.

Reconnect the datalogger, and that should be it.. No offense to Joesph's electronics skills (because we know he's a flippin' genius) but are you sure it's still assembled correctly? Did something maybe pop off during shipping?

The datalogger in TE works. There is no doubt about that. I've had numerous reports from TE users about it. There has to be something hardware related. Either the ECU, or your PC, I think. :-\

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

I used a cell phone cable that has MAX233 inside the serial plug. Four wires, easy to install.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Well crap, I changed the baud rate and still no luck. I would like to get it working but if not oh well :-\

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Hrm, did you try an older version? ----, maybe I broke something in 1.29 and just no one has told me about it yet..

Try 1.27, but don't edit the maps or save ROMs or anything. I don't know why I updated the verison, but just to be safe..

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Crap, that didn't work either :( No biggie though, as the datalogging isn't necessary. :)

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Sean, you want to try another datalogging cable? I'll send you my Ghetto-spec one if you feel confident about soldering the four wires into CN2.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Ya, I got my car working today, and promptly testing it, and everything worked fine. I used the 1.29 package straight from the website. :(


..oh, btw, now that my car is running, Datalogging support is the PRIME development point. :D

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Hey Joseph, I'm pretty sure I can solder it in. That would be awesome if you can send me another cable. Do you still have the address?

Turbo-what's the set up?

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Hell no I don't. I'm America's most disorganised man.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

OK.. I poured over the code and it's just the same as it's always been.. I don't know, maybe it' snot compatible with your machine? Who knows..
..but have no fear, as I am a man of the people. :D

I integrated the code for the datalogger from the upcoming 2.0 version into the 1.29 version that is currently on the website. Uninstall, Redownload, and reinstall 1.29 from the website.

This should work, as I verified it in my own car about 30 minutes ago.. good luck!

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

JD got another cable there I can pay ya for lol... Sorry for the thread jack..



Lovin the work Jason. Thanks fer all the time ya helped me when you started this. :)

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Another thread jack ::)

JD ... you said that you used a cell phone cable and hooked it up to the CN2. Which cell phone cable was it? and i don't suppose you can PM me with the wire colours and some details about it ;D I've been messing around with a Nokia cable and not sure which wires to use :-[

Cheers.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Nokia 6110, netsearch for 6110 pinout, you can deconstruct the cable and go by pin placement.

I'm all out of them, actually.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Ok, just got done downloading the new version and tried to open it and I get this:
http://www.norcalcrx.org/spoon2/pics/error.jpg

Is this a machine or program error? Crappy dell :P

Joseph, PMed you my address

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Holy ----... 1.29 is falling apart...

I don't know about that error. It doesn't seem like a program error. It's tied to a control used within TE, Try to reinstall over the top of itself.

Maybe install 1.28, then install 1.29 over it. Something is messed up with what VB thinks that computer has to use.

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

i reverted back to a 1.29 before any fixes and its fine :( just no fixes lol

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Ok, well the 1.27 and 1.28 still get into the program. But the new 1.29 still has that code no matter what. The "old" 1.29 was fine so whatever you changed must of been the difference. I wonder if anyone else has tried the new 1.29 yet? I'm starting to think maybe it's my laptop that's the problem. I'll have to see if any of my friends have laptops to try. By the way man, don't stress yourself over this...as long as the maps work well that's all I need :D

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

OK ok ok ok...



Hahaha.. Luckily I saved the source for the original 1.29.. I reimplemented the 2.0 cut of the datalogging code.


So, once again, uninstall, redownload, reinstall, and tell me if A) You can open the crap, and B) if the datalogger works. :D

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

A opens I cant test the data logger yet :( I have to go get a cable yet..... :(

Re:turboedit working! datalogging help needed
 

Can get into the program again :) And just to let everyone know we narrowed it down, that the problem probably lies in the hardware. As the datalogging wheel turns ;)
