I made a cable for BB Logging

[Highlander]

I made the cable to NOT need the converter.. The cost was around $8.00 to make. It already has pins 2,3 reversed and has the rj11 connector for flashscan v2.

Is anyone interested on it? it uses generic materials but I really think its worth it instead of the gender changer and all the cables. Its short about 6" to 1'.

What you guys think?

[Goldfinger911]

Is the FlashScan end an RJ11 or RJ25? It is a 6-wire right?

[Cougar281]

Yes, it has six pins.

[Highlander]

yeap.. 6 pins and its rj11

[Goldfinger911]

I am pretty sure you dont want to use just any "RJ11" cable, because while some do have 6 pins, only the center 4 are fitted... whereas an RJ25 (can be the same physical plug as an RJ11, 12 or 14) should have all 6 fitted. It looks like we do need the 6th pin too according to Ira.

Check this out: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/cables_jacks.htm

You said that pins 2 and 3 are swapped? I think you want to change that. Ira (EFILive dealer in CA) pin'ed out a stock EFILive RS232 cable for me in another post and he said the pins that are swapped look like this:

DB9 - RJ25
2 ----> 6
3 ----> 5
5 ----> 2


Edit:: Correction: That should say:
D9 RJ12
5--5
3--2
2--1

What about making a phono-jack to RJ12 cable that will connet directly from FlashScan to the LC1 serial jack. Shouldn't be too hard.

I have several network cables laying around my house. I also some phono jack cables from various things. Can you show us what pins on the RJ12 cable need to go to which part of the phono? I'd rather go this route than mess with gender adapters. A little soldering never hurt anyone.

LC-1 phono jack, has ground at the base, pin 3 at the tip and pin 2 in the middle.

Remember to cross 2 and 3 so that you will end up with:
RJ12 pin 2 goes to phono base

That is what i did with the efilive cable i made... it has the pins inverted already. so it should owrk like a charm.. hence the swapping 2-3.

Excuse my ignorance, but is the mono 3.5mm jack on the plx controllers a std serial stream? If so this would also apply to them if im not mistaken?

This post is confusing to me. Your description of which pin numbers are which is right. But the part in bold isn't right. Given the pin numbering layout, you have it reversed. It should read.

RJ12 pin 5 to phono base.
RJ12 pin 2 to phono middle.
RJ12 pin 1 to phono tip.

I verified this buy lookin at the supplied RJ12 to RS232 end. Only RJ12 pins 1,2, and 5 are used. I think you just got the order mixed up.

Here is how I tested it out. I used the supplied cable from the EFI live, the supplied cable from the LC-1. Here was my logic.

RJ12 RS232 RS232 Phono
pin 1 pin 2 pin 2 middle
pin 2 pin 3 pin 3 tip
pin 5 pin 5 pin 5 base

Swap pins 2 and 3 between the RS232s and you end up with

RJ12 Phono
pin 1 tip
pin 2 middle
pin 5 base


Can you please confirm my suspicisous are right. I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something.

[Blacky]

You're right, I got the pins mixed up on the RJ12.
They are "officially" numbered 1 to 6 from left to right - when looking at the exposed pins in the plug and holding the plug pins facing up.

Ok, now its clear. I found a source that showed the opposite. Either way, I'll just make sure they're in the right location regardless of number. Fantastic illustration!

Ok so I did some more looking and there is some confusion about how to number those pins (most of the confusion is in my head).

Looks like I got it backwards and as Kevin said, the pins are numbered 1 to 6 from left to right.

I don't know what the pins are on the PLX but the tip and the middle witll be either send or receive and the base will be ground.
However, it does not output a serial voltage level.

RS232 serial operates at +/- 12V. The PLX outputs a 5V signal. You need to run the signal through a voltage level shifter (sucah as a max232 chip) to correctly use it with FlashScan (or any true RS232 connection).

See here for an example:

Zero lag.

There should be a gazzillion web pages showing how to use the MAX232 chip. Here's one:
http://sodoityourself.com/max232-serial-level-converter/

Disclaimer, I am not an electronics engineer so I have no idea if that circuit is appropriate for the PLX, but it looks similar to other max232 circuits I have used.

You do not need to make one. All you have to do is use the genderchanger with null modem capabilities...

Making the cable is optional and its for simplicity. I am using an LM1.

Thing is... sadly i have to use 2 cables :S the serial one from the lm1 and the one i made, i wish that the lm1 had the serial db9 connector.

I would Highlander but I don't have a DB9 cable in my efilive kit.:nixweiss:

Are you running from the serial port that we use with LM programmer on the PC? Or the analogue output on the bottom?

[Highlander]

Serial LM Programmer.. the round one... I will see if I can find that round part so that i can make it :)

[hymey]

It's a mini-din 8 connector. I will by one that goes straight from the WB to the scan tool. I take it your scan tool is displaying your afrs correctly and accurately.


What is your calibration in LM programmer 1.00V_10.00afr, 2.00V-20.00afr?

On the analogue jack for the LC1 wouldn't running both analogue 1 and 2 voltages be pointless. In the LM programmer the 1st output is for a narrow band and the second is for w/b display. Only one is required. That means only 2 wires are required the output wire and ground.

[joecar]

This serial connection is not reading the analog voltages, it's reading the digital AFR from the LC-1's serial port.

For asynchronous serial comms you need 3 wires: Tx, Rx, Gnd.

Edited my post.

Ive found the PLX just needs

Signal Ground
TX

Because there is no handshaking and it requires no data to be sent to it.

It is unlikely any wb would require handshaking. It already has been configured correctly.

If you want to free-air calibrate the LC-1 (which is recommeded periodically) then you will need Tx.

Scroll down until you see the following three items and set them accordingly:
Com In Wide-O2
Com Out: Wide-O2

To use FlashScan to display the WO2 data, select:
F2: Scan Tool->F1: Data Logging->F3: Display WO2.

See the hotkeys document to see what special keys can be used to alter the WO2 display.

Passthrough is not working right now for serial wideband data so you can't log the serial wideband data to your PC yet. A fix will be posted shortly.

[Blacky]

You're not running the latest firmware.

Upgrade your FlashScan's firmware using the file called: FSProgV2_05_15(0320).efw (the 0320 means the March 20 version).
You can find it in the folder: \Program Files\EFILive\V8\EFILivE_Hapi

You will need to use the EFILive_Explorer.exe program to reprogram the FlashScan device.

with the tech edge, it already has a rj11 and rj45 plug/s. which one to use? pin 1,2,4 on the rj11 or pin 2,3,5 on the rj45? im a little confused.





Other RJ45 Outputs - SVout, NBsim, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt

http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/y1a-sch.gif http://wbo2.com/2a0/rj45out.jpg The SVout [pin 1], WBlin+ [pin 4] & NBsim [pin 6] signals are all described in detail above. The SVout signal is intended for analogue displays like the LD01 (http://wbo2.com/ld01/default.htm) and those displays will also use Vbatt & GND described below. The RJ45 connector signal names are shown at right.
A fused, protected and partially filtered battery voltage Vbatt is available from [pin 8] (right most RJ45 signal). This output is provided to power other devices such as the LD02 display (http://wbo2.com/ld02/default.htm). It should only be connected to devices that will draw small currents; typically less than 100 milliamps. Excessive current consumption may cause heating of an internal dropping/protection resistor.
A ground GND point [pin 5-RJ45] is provided as a return for the RS232 and Vbatt connections.
Note that there are number of unconnected outputs (N/C = No Connection) on each of the RJ-45 connectors. Those N/C's that have uses on other wideband units are shown "greyed in" and include WBlin (pin 4) and NBsim (pin 6).
6 Pin RJ11 Connector - LSS Tx & Rx, also SVout, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt

http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/y1b-sch.gif The right hand side RJ11 connector is designed for use with an intelligent serial display. Its primary feature is a second serial channel called the Low Speed Serial (LSS) interface which has a 1200 baud data rate (ie. low speed) which is adequate for most displays. Additionally there are duplicates signals found on the RJ45 and green 6 pin connector.
http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/rj11out.jpg LSS Tx [pin 2] sends data frames to display. LSS Rx [pin 1] is not currently supported in firmware.

Batt+ [pin 6] & GND [pin 4] provide current limited power and a return GND for the external display.

SVout [pin 5] & WBlin+ [pin 3] are described in sections above.

You don't need to change anything in the LM-1/LC-1... the serial afr is emitted on the serial output regardless of how the analog outputs are programmed.

I couldn't find a male2male null modem locally but I did find a RS232 adaptor DB9M/RJ12F such as this:
http://www.firstcable.com/newproduct/Prod_Individual3.aspx?groupcode=I4799

First question I guess is will it work? I've read you need a resistor but I'm not understanding why that's the case. For instance if you had snipped off a 2.5mm plug as it appears some have done and wired it directly to a RJ12 there is no resistor is there?

So I've wired it so that if you're looking at the DB9 Female from the LC-1 with the 5 rows at the top and four on the bottom and you number them left to right top to bottom female hole 3 (I believe DB9 hole 3) is the 2.5mm tip, female hole 4 (DB9 hole 2) is the center of the 2.5mm pin and female hole 1 (DB9 hole 5) is the base of the 2.5mm pin. I've wired my RS232 accordingly but what should I do with the extra 3 wires on it?

I've never screwed the cables together when testing and the friction is plenty strong enough to hold them together. I don't think the null modem connector I linked to has screw receptacles in both sides anyway.

I should temper that. I'm getting free air numbers, not AFR numbers. It goes from 1-3% then jumps to 20.9% momentarily and then back to 1-3%. What is going on?

If you're getting anything other than "Controller Not Found" then the data connection is probably ok.
Does the analog output from the LC-1 work ok? Does it display the expected AFR?

Curious how the data transfer issue manifests itself. I was planning on trying to get my LM2 working this weekend.

When I ordered my null modem gender bender I also ordered the stuff to make a RJ12/DIN cable so I am curious about that diagram too. If nobody has one I will just use my continuity meter and figure it out.

Hi Vortech C5, I just tried to check continuity with my meter between the LM1 cable-null modem adapter and mini-din 8 pin connector. With the 8-pin connector the pins are close together and I could not ring it out with the meter and my probes.

[VortechC5]

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll see if I can scrounge up a F/F mini din at work that I can borrow. If I can find one I could then use a pin (or piece of wire) in each of the female DIN sockets to tone it out.

and used a DB9male to RJ12 connector like this http://sewelldirect.com/DB9-Male-Serial-to-RJ-12-Modular-Adapter.asp . I then used some information from this diagram posted by blacky here:

to get the LC-1 Jack to 9 pin female information. I then went from the female to the DB9 male and wired so that circuits matched first diagram. I finally got a reading although it's goofy and I haven't had a chance to compare with analog yet.

Hi guys, I have made a cable from my V2 to tec edge (8pin connector shown below) it is wired

V2 --- tec edge

1 - 3
2 - 2
5 - 5

I still cannot get the V2 to recognize it. I have the V2 settings on Tec edge, any thoughts on why it wont work?




with the tech edge, it already has a rj11 and rj45 plug/s. which one to use? pin 1,2,4 on the rj11 or pin 2,3,5 on the rj45? im a little confused.





Other RJ45 Outputs - SVout, NBsim, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt

http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/y1a-sch.gif http://wbo2.com/2a0/rj45out.jpg The SVout [pin 1], WBlin+ [pin 4] & NBsim [pin 6] signals are all described in detail above. The SVout signal is intended for analogue displays like the LD01 (http://wbo2.com/ld01/default.htm) and those displays will also use Vbatt & GND described below. The RJ45 connector signal names are shown at right.
A fused, protected and partially filtered battery voltage Vbatt is available from [pin 8] (right most RJ45 signal). This output is provided to power other devices such as the LD02 display (http://wbo2.com/ld02/default.htm). It should only be connected to devices that will draw small currents; typically less than 100 milliamps. Excessive current consumption may cause heating of an internal dropping/protection resistor.
A ground GND point [pin 5-RJ45] is provided as a return for the RS232 and Vbatt connections.
Note that there are number of unconnected outputs (N/C = No Connection) on each of the RJ-45 connectors. Those N/C's that have uses on other wideband units are shown "greyed in" and include WBlin (pin 4) and NBsim (pin 6).
6 Pin RJ11 Connector - LSS Tx & Rx, also SVout, WBlin+, GND & Vbatt

http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/y1b-sch.gif The right hand side RJ11 connector is designed for use with an intelligent serial display. Its primary feature is a second serial channel called the Low Speed Serial (LSS) interface which has a 1200 baud data rate (ie. low speed) which is adequate for most displays. Additionally there are duplicates signals found on the RJ45 and green 6 pin connector.
http://wbo2.com/2c0/im/rj11out.jpg LSS Tx [pin 2] sends data frames to display. LSS Rx [pin 1] is not currently supported in firmware.

Batt+ [pin 6] & GND [pin 4] provide current limited power and a return GND for the external display.

SVout [pin 5] & WBlin+ [pin 3] are described in sections above.

If any valid serial data is being received by V2 (regardless of whether it is valid Wide band O2 data or not) the orange LED second from the left will flash on FlashScan's, keypad.
If you don't see any flashes of that orange LED then data is physically not getting to FlashScan and it is probably a wiring or WO2 config problem.
If you do see that orange LED flashing, then data is being received by FlashScan and it is most likely a FlashScan config problem.

I'm a little concerned a tthe description that says the LSS baud rate is 1200. FlashScan does not support that baud rate.
The baud rates that FlashScan (and AutoCal) use for WO2 serial data are shown below:
(i.e. both Tech Edge widebands (TE 1.5 and 2.0) supported by FlashScan are expected to transmit at 19200 baud.)



void
wo2SetBaud(void)
{
switch ( cfg_wo2TypeTemp ) {
case cfg_wo2Inn:
case cfg_wo2PLX:
case cfg_wo2TE15:
case cfg_wo2TE20:
case cfg_wo2FJO2:
case cfg_wo2FJO3:
comSetBaud(0,combps_19200);
break;
case cfg_wo2AemUego:
case cfg_wo2Zt2:
comSetBaud(0,combps_9600);
break;
case cfg_wo2Jaw:
comSetBaud(0,combps_14400);
break;
case cfg_wo2ECM:
comSetBaud(0,combps_38400);
break;
}
// Clear out any existing data that may have been collected at the wrong baud rate
fifoReset(&com_rxFifo[0]);
}

See post #58... (there appears to be a problem with logging serial data from the TechEdge wide bands at the moment)

That might explain my other problem..
