I made a cable for BB Logging

[02Z06]

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 am using the LM1 for my WO2. If I use the null-modem male/male adaptor to connect the LM1 serial output to FS2 cable will the output be the same as in the LM1/logworks. I just want to know what I need to change in the LM1 software if anything. Thanks, Jim

Jim,

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.

Thanks Joe, That will make it easy. Jim

I want to make sure I understand this and I'm going to do this right. Use the LC-1 2.5mm to serial cable which was included in package with LC-1. Get a male serial cable to RJ-11 adapter and wire accordingly to schematics shown in this thread. Plug RJ-11 from serial adapter to V2 input next to RJ45 cable on V2 unit. I can now log in digital instead of analog?
Thanks,
John

Yes.
The RJ12 to female 9 pin serial cable is included with your EFILive purchase.
The null modem male to male adapter that can be used between the LC-1's cable and FlashScan's cable can be purchased here:

Should say:
Plug RJ-11 from serial adapter to V2 input next to USB socket on V2 unit

I couldn't find a male2male null modem locally but I did find a RS232 adaptor DB9M/RJ12F such as this:

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?

Maybe this diagram will help:

That's an excellent diagram. Thank you! So the extra wires I can just tape off and i'm golden? No more trying to get the correct analog voltage?!?! I can't wait!

Edit: Now I see why the Null Modem comes into play. Even thought I've got male/female connections I've got male securing screws on both sides so only friction or duct tape / zip ties will hold them together.

Yes.

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.
