Hi all,
I am just in the process of installing LC-1's and have routed the cables into the cab. I have bought a serial cable from TAQ to log digitally after daisy chaining the LC-1s together.
My question is, how does the system know which LC-1 is to which bank, i.e 1 or 2?
Thanks in advance. Gareth
BTW, 2005 HSV Maloo LS2 A4. I have marked the cables for bank 1 and 2.
The first LC-1 (the one with the terminator plug inserted into SERIAL IN) is WB1, the next one is WB2... if I remember right.

As this is a digital serial connection could I add in a dash mounted digital afr gauge by daisy chaining it into the system? If so are they available?
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I believe the gauges work from the analog output... you may have to program one of the analog outputs to match the gauge's AFR:V requirements.
Hi Joe, I just thought I'd add that I've been on the Innovate site and found that I can daisy chain their XD-16 guage into the system using the phono connection supplied. I think it can be programmed to pick up a reading from either bank.Quote:

The LC-1's are all installed now so I'm ready for my first VE logging session.
Cheers Gareth
Gareth, let us know how it goes.
Cheers, Joe
:cheers:
Works a treat Joe. The serial connection is a doddle to set up, no off set gounds, no voltage calibrations, just plug and play. I am very impressed with the V2 readout, you can get the screen to display AFR, Lambda or EQ for either bank or even 4 mini screens showing both banks reading out either two of the above.Quote:

Now, back to the learning curve!!! :book:
I think that Innovate needs to start including the serial cables and swap the COM port for USB.
They could change a few other things too, but that would be a good start.
Totally agree with that, unfortunately it could hurt TAQuickness' business as he's a very helpful contributor to us, as is the LC-1 serial connection manual he has written and supplies as a download for his cables.Quote:

TAQuickness provides the 2.5mm male stereo to RJ12 serial cable (for connection to FlashScan V2).
Innovate include the 2.5mm male stereo to DB9 serial cable (for connection to laptop/PC).
Notice how those two are different... they don't overlap (you connect to either of V2 or PC, not both).
If you want to connect to your laptop/PC USB port you can use a serial to USB adapter.
Yes, I agree... TAQuickness's cables and prices are excellent :cheers:
(buying the parts and tools exceeds the price of a cable... not to mention "Made in USA" labour).
Yes a good service from him, even to the UK.Quote:
