    New to all of this and trying to stream data from ECU

    I have a 1988 C1500 with 1227747 ECU. I have a Red Devil River ALDL bluetooth device and ALDLDroid installed on my tablet. The bluetooth device powers up and I am able to connect to it with ALDLDroid but all I get is a msg that says Connected/waiting for ECU data. The bluetooth device blinks about every second like it is sending data, I just don't get any. I used the Tunerpro ADX file that was provided by Red Devil River. So what am I missing??? Any help would be appreciated.

    HI
    First up check the header in the adx file.

    It looks similar to this.
    <ADXHEADER>
    <guid>d120581b-445a-4c54-aee0-561b7bd21bac</guid>
    <flags>0x01</flags>

    IF the flag value is 0x01 then the rs232 is checked. Load the adx file into tuner pro and uncheck the the rs232 box. then save.

    The header will look like this
    <ADXHEADER>
    <guid>d120581b-445a-4c54-aee0-561b7bd21bac</guid>
    <flags>0x10000</flags>.

    The red devil may not like this.

    Also check.
    <baud>4800</baud>
    For this it should be 4800. change this in tuner pro.

    Post a copy of the ADX file

    Also check the basics.

    Thanks for responding. Here is the header info from the ADX file I am using
    <ADXHEADER>
    <guid>d120581b-445a-4c54-aee0-561b7bd21bac</guid>
    <flags>0x10000</flags>

    and the baud is

    <baud>4800</baud>

    ALDLDroid says connected/waiting for data from ecu...

    I hope I attached my ADX file correctly...

    I tried this file on my setup and it talks to the red devil and displays data on the S8.
    So the file is as thought to be ok.

    My file is set to 9600 but has the 160 baud command but I tried it both ways and it worked. I cant remember where I saw to put it to 9600.
    Any way after using my device for the fist time in 12 weeks I thought of something. Even though in the settings you can check the auto connect box in ALDL droid it sometimes does not connect the red devil.
    when Using it this time I had to connect by going to the 3 bar menu top right and hit Connect to ECU. this will cause the leds to blink and then connect. I don't know if you have tried this.

    When you connect the red devil the CEL light will be on. When the data stream starts the light will flick more on than off. My light is a led and I can just see a flicker.

    Thanks for testing the file. At least I know now that that is not the issue. I will continue to look at other things... I don't recall my CEL light coming on when I connect the red devil. Are you connecting the red devil with the motor running or with the power off?
