OBD1 Evoscan

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

I'm using 2.7

Make sure you are trying to connect with a "1.3 cable" and not the "2.0 cable". The FDTI chipset is also a necessity. I found that out the hard way.

thanks Hans, I'll try that, I do have the Keyspan USA-19HS

Is there a particular driver you used, I'm using The one from keyspan

[Hans@GZP]

I just used the driver from the cable manufacturer. I forget where I got the cable... probably buy.com or something.

i cant seem to connect to the 1g ecu with evoscan.

ive got shivers cable, ftdi chipset usb to serial [ngear], evoscan 2.7&2.8+ [my serial doesnt work for 2.5/2.6]. tried on windows xp and 7 same result.

the usb to serial is good cause i can loop back and transmit data to myself and evoscan recognizes the drivers that are installed. it just trys to connect and gets stuck on INIT response from ecu and goes into retry multiple times.

i also got obdii cable and have been able to log a 94&96 no problem. just the 12pin doesnt work. ive tried on a 91 stealth, 91 eclipse and my own 90 gto and no response from ecu all times. any ideas?

edit: update. got serial and tried 2.5&2.6 still same thing, gets stuck on "waiting for init response..." and just keeps retrying. even tried the the data.xml file provided on 3si. ive tried different orders of turning car on connecting and starting the program but nothing.

I'm with you, HHH is definatly the easiest logger to use.

Does HHH or Evoscan 2.7 work with the cables that 3sx or Ebay sells? Got a cable a while back and was using MMCD with my Palm M515 but my PDA died and now I don't have a way to datalog. I wouldn't mind using my laptop to log now since I'm going to be using it to tune my Maftpro anyways...my cable is an OBD1 plug to a serial plug, but I do have a serial to usb adapter that works with my laptop

[mb3000]

I know the HHH cables are funky and anything other than their cables won't work.

I bet it would work with the Evoscan though.

Hmm, just trying to make sure which software would work before I spend the money on it, really don't wanna spend another $60 on a cable....

bump. still looking for answer...

got it to work!
in simple terms: turns out my obdi cable has its receive and transmit pins setup to communicate with a palm pilot. to communicate with the pc program these two need to be swapped. did this and all is good now. if you want more detailed info look into how dte and dtc communicate with each other.
logging 1G with evoscan 2.8 its such a nice program once you get it to work properly lol
