Corisca and communicating with ALDL

[tunethis]

So I think I got it talking. I am using the XML file ber28-v6.xml (with the word "defanged" removed so that it works).

I can talk to the car, but perhaps I have the heartbeat wrong. Or something else? I will post my raw data I captured with efilive v4. EFIlive does not have a corsica XML, but the motor is the same (ECU 1227727 OR 1227730 from http://www.exatorq.com/ludis_obd1/p4xref.html 2.8 v6 LB6)

Any idea what values I should be using? I feel like I am awfully close.

Are you using a USB to serial convertor? It appears that you may be because looking at the data it appears the baud rate is not correct.
For example, the data received is: $16,$B0,$80,$00,$00,$BE,$16,$B0
The $16, $B0 is not valid for the start of an ALDL message. That is usually caused by an incorrect baud rate.

Most USB - Serial convertors cannot operate at the ALDL baud rate of 8192 bps. Even a PC's UART can only get as close as 8228 but that is close enough for it to work.

Have you tried using a PC with a real serial port?

You are most likely correct, it is a usb serial converter. Ha. I read that this may be the problem somewhere else as well but, you know with these types of things, there are a bunch of gotchas and one can only guess as to which gotcha gets ya!

[tunethis]

So I got another laptop with a real serial port and it works!

Well I should say i can read TPS (on charts screen), battery, kmh, rpm coolant temp, and fuel mix... nothing else

I also have a problem with when pressing the green button to start capturing data, it occasionally stops recording with an error. Here is a typical session. Sometimes it doesnt time out for a few minutes, but sometimes i have to keep hitting the green button.

59:32.481: Stop macro: Engine data and DTCs: DATADTC

But other than that, and missing information, it appears to work. Is there some way to get it to reconnect on errors which terminate the macro, or simply ignore these errors?
Also how do i log the data? I cant figure out how to save it.

any idea why most of the sensors are not logging?

[Blacky]

So I got another laptop with a real serial port and it works!

Well I should say i can read TPS (on charts screen), battery, kmh, rpm coolant temp, and fuel mix... nothing else

I also have a problem with when pressing the green button to start capturing data, it occasionally stops recording with an error. Here is a typical session. Sometimes it doesnt time out for a few minutes, but sometimes i have to keep hitting the green button.

Try changing the suspend and resume commands to send to node $F0 instead of node $F4.



It looks like the suspend command is being ignored and the other modules on the ALDL bus are continuing to transmit which will eventually cause the V4 software to detect a collision with that data and that will terminate the log.

If you are using the eval version then only a subset of the dash sensors and charts are active.
See the V4 Help->Help option under: Release Notes -> Pro vs Eval.
