Make sure you take note of this comment:
All you'll need is a Max232 chip to convert TTL to RS232 levels

Wow guys, I cant wait for some more DVT controls whenever they get implemented. Being able to lock my trans on a dyno would be great for power plus being able to hit the cells you cant hit (safely) on the street!

FlashScan is technically a DCE because it connects directly to a PC. DCE equipment (i.e. FlashScan ) transmits on pin 2 and recieves on pin 3.

For anyone who is interested...
The wideband controllers are also DCE because they connect directly to a PC. Because FlashScan and the wide band controllers are both DCE, when connecting them directly to each other, you need to connect pin 2 to pin 3 and pin 3 to pin 2.

See attached images.

will this need to be a custom cable, or will any serial to serial bridge work?
and when will this go live?
i am not going to run the beta with all the complaints i`ve seen.

Any DB9-male-to-DB9-male null modem cable (i.e. it crosses pins 2 and 3 (Tx and Rx)) should work.

If you're going to wait, then look at the last option in post #34: showpost.php?p=64469&postcount=34

That low profile null modem adapter is just pefect.

No problems there Paul. Ill make one up on the weekend and if you can intergrate the protocol, ill test it out when the beta is released.

Right that does it. Im going to have to buy a car so I can use DVT and serial WB!
Time to rid myself of this Ford..

BTW: Those null modem adapters are on ebay as well.

Maybe when this is available we can get a dummied down version?
I am going with a LM-2 and will need the Cliff Notes when all this bleeding edge stuff is resolved. :Eyecrazy:
Thanks for the evolution.

I will be interested in what you find with the PLX serial logging Jezzab
