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

Re: Help a brother out
 

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

Toss it on a flatbed scanner, resolution cranked to the moon, and post the pics.

yeah the ---- only cost like three bucks, so i'm just gonna go buy a new one i guess w/drivers, thanks for the lookout jd

Re: Help a brother out
 

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

OBD1 car? Have you cut J12?

Re: Help a brother out
 

Yes the car is obd1

We didn't cut anything, its the way it comes from Xenocron


Are we suppose to hve j1 on or off

Re: Help a brother out
 

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
