you have it.

for 160 baud applications, I either use tunerpro V4 or just import a known-good V4 ADS file that way it's all setup correctly already.

in tunerpro V5, Acquisition->edit definition will bring up the screen that will allow changes to baud rate and the ability to deselect the RS232 echo.

if it works with other software, then you're down to a configuration or file presence issue. do you have the correct ADX loaded for the car you're dealing with? do you have the correct COM port...

is that ground shared with anything else? i would imagine that if the ground were questionable, wiggling the connection near the bolt/screw it is fastened by should produce errors in the stream with...

so, all of your troubles were caused by the USB cable itself? i've only had a couple of super cheap ones do that to me and even then, they tended to do it intermittently.

i know a couple of them are supposed to be connected(and you'll probably find them connected to ground, at that), but i can't remember which.

Tx lighting up means the chip is at least...

if you're able to consistently send and receive the same data, i would say it is working as expected.

if you don't see the same data in the receive side as what you're sending, that is a problem.

when you do the tunerpro cable test, do either the Tx or Rx LED light up for a short amount of time? if Rx and Tx are connected, they should both light up at the same time.

here it is, along with FTClean to help remove any traces of any existing FTDI drivers.

i have a driver set as old as 2.4.16, if it were necessary.

does your ECM require the 10K to get data started? the Rx light should be flashing a lot if the ECM were pushing out data.

EDIT: there is also the possible issue of an incompatible driver which...

looks fine.



no other laptop to test with to rule that out? the ECM side of datalogging is pretty solid on a 7747, so i would assume adapter or laptop.

i believe you can set ebay to remove all results outside of a chosen area. beyond that, not much else, almost everything is china based.

connecting them is no problem for the ECM. it takes 3 seconds with a soldering iron, so i would recommend it.

with a 160 baud only unit, Tx isn't used, so you'll only need Rx connected.

with a 7747, i don't think the 10K is necessary, but i'm not 100% on that.

mine all seem fine, but i tend to touch up the solder joints when i'm dealing with the RxD/TxD and ground connections if they look in any way questionable.

possibility on driver issues. i would be running the versions specified in Mark's thread before anything else.
