There is also carbytes which is free but there is only a configuration file for a VR V8.
#DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DIGIMOTO TRIAL#
This program has a limited evaluation trial period. Now when the com port sends a low the voltage is dropped through the diode, a high the diode is open circuit and the volatge is raised through the two resistors.ĮFILive: Digital Tools for Onboard Vehicle ElectronicsĮfilive version 4 is what you seek.
#DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DIGIMOTO SERIES#
On the techedge circuit add two 10K resistors in series (you need 20K and they don't make that size resistor) between the 5V supply and the 8192 baud output pin (the bit that goes to the car). This is fine for the other cars as the ECU must have a pull up resistor in the circuit. The problem is that the Techedge circuit does not pull the voltage up, it only drops the voltage through the diode, so a high signal is not 'driven'. I have found that the techedge circit does not work on some cars, mostly VS and VT V8's. The Airbag light flashes when I use this on the VX? You can either use Veroboard (YUCK!!), an IC-experimeters board Jaycar Electronics (slightly less yuck) or make your own pcbs. Unlike the VN/VP plug where you can get away without using a pcb, this one things will become a bit more tricky. Check maxim’s website for the data sheet for the chip you get Analog, Linear, and Mixed-Signal Devices from Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor. Some versions of the chip use different values. Techedge says on their page but I will say it again, be careful about the values of the capacitors that you choose for the max232. As you are using a level converter you will have more luck with non-FTDI (look above in the usb section for the VN/VP) usb->serial converters but I would still recommend them.
#DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DIGIMOTO SERIAL#
The max232 is a level converter this will change the levels 5V levels from the car to the ones for serial communications (what the computer speaks). The circuit I would recommend is attached at the bottom of this page, it is a modification of the techedge circuit but it will work with the 5.0l v8 as well as the V6's. VR/VS/VT/VX/VY Note that this does NOT include the GENIIIs (VT SII onwards). You cannot remove the light as it forms part of the circuit and the data link may not work without the lamp in place. However, this will be very distracting as you drive. The engine light will flicker as the ECU communicates (this is normal). If you are planning on leaving this cable in you car I would suggest putting a bit of black tape over the engine light. Close the device manager (don't worry if the COM number is not updated in the menu). Select something between 1 and 4 and then click OK until you are out of the settings. If the number is 5 or greater, RIGHT CLICK on USB Serial port (COMx) and select "Properties" then select the "Port settings" tab, then select ADVANCED this will open a menu where you can choose the new COM number. Note that windows will assign a different COMx for each separate usb port on your machine, so if you don't plug the adaptor in the same plug things can get confusing. The one we are interested in is "USB Serial port (COMx)" if x is between 1 and 4 we are fine.

click on the plus sign next to the icon, this will open up a list of all your ports. WIN XP: settings->control panel->maintainence ->system->hardwareīOTH: then select device manager this will bring up a display of all your hardware. WIN 98/2000: settings->control_panel->system->hardware To fix this you need to reassign the com port. Windows may assign a higher com port to your USB converter. (For those of you wanting to build a USB version consider that a BIG hint )Īnother trick with the USB converter that you will need to be aware of is that WINALDL only looks at the first 4 com ports. If you already own a serial->usb converter by all means give it a go but if you want to buy one the best ones are based on a FTDI serial converter chip. Some usb-> serial converters are a bit mickey-mouse and as this is a non-standard speed you might run into problems.
#DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DIGIMOTO INSTALL#
At the ECU end leave it disconnected.ġ)Download and install Winaldl from WinALDL - 160 baud ALDL readerĢ) Plug in cable (the engine light should flicker.ģ) Select the com port (see below if you have USB) Connect the shield to the GND connection at the serial plug end. If you are going for a long cable run I would recommend shielded data cable. Three core flex would do, but I would suggest that security cable would be better. You do not need anything too special for this cable as the speed is not all that fast. I would suggest that the BC548 would do the job nicely. The 2N2222’s are not so common in Australia. But I will add one or two things.Īlmost any general purpose NPN transistor will do the job. There already is an excellent thread on this topic on the VN/VP forum. I have made one or two of these so I’d thought I would share some info I have found to help anyone who wants to make their own.
