Hooking Lm1 up to flashscan v2

[Aint Skeered]

Joecar is helping me to hook up my lm1 to work with the efil live flashscan 2.
He recommended that I start a new thread but also wanted screen shots of the lm1 software where I change the voltage. Not sure how to do that yet but any advice on hooking up the wideband would be great .


WHat sections of the wideband voltage need to be fooled with?
what wires hook up to the analog on the flashscan?

all help is appreciated.

thanks, Chad.

Chad,

I just pm'd you showing how to post screenshots.

With the LM Programmer software, test the LM-1->FlashScan interface like this:
- program a flat 1V, cycle power on the LM-1, see what voltage EFILive says;
- do same with 4V;
- if those are correct (1V and 4V respectively), then restore default in LM-1 (and cycle power).

With defaults, now you can use the already provided AFR and BEN calc pids for the LM-1... but do post a screenshot of the LM Programmer screen that shows what the LM-1 is programmed for (select AFR to make it easier to read).

Do you have FlashScan V1 or V2...?

The LM-1 has some features above the LC-1, so be sure to read its manual.

Cheers,
Joe

If you have FS2 then you should hook it up digitial. I was having trouble till Paul put up the diagram in the beta BBL logging. The easiest way for me was to use the mini-8 pin cable for LM1 and the RJ-12 cable for FS2 and connect the two with a null-modem m/m adaptor and I took an old serial cable (reversed pins 2 +3) plugged into the null-modem adapter and FS2 RJ-12 cable. Now I have same readouts as LM1 on FS screen. When I first tried to connect the two cables together with the null modem adapter the #2 and #3 pins were wrong and I kept getting (no controller found) When I made up the "serial cable adapter" changing pins 2+3 this fixed the problem.

See post #69: showthread.php?p=71182#post71182

If you do have a V2, then just connect digitially as 02ZO6 said....

but you will have to run the V2 BBL beta code... be sure to read and understand the Readme_First.pdf before proceeding.

sorry guys, I have been real busy and have not been able to come check this thread. So Going bbl and digital is the way to go with the lm1, I have to remember how to go throught the changes again to upgrade my flash scan2 . I may try that .


If I buy a male male adabter , all I do is in the harness I a make up going rom the flash scan to the lm1 I just change I just reverse the 2 and 3 pins? I may try that. I am going to do some reading on the bbl, thanks Joe and 02zo6. I will get back to you all later when I am finished reading the read me and decide if I am going that route.

No worries, take your time.

Use this V2 BBL upgrade: showthread.php?t=8103

Read the warnings, then read the Readme_First.pdf... this will make the upgrade go smooth.

V2 serial AFR cable: showthread.php?t=8115

Ok I downloaded the file and was reading the read me but decided that after a lot of reading I think I am going to stick to what I have untill some more of the issues are all worked out. I dont have the knowledge to fix any bugs right now.

I am looking to hook up the lm1 analog style so any tips with that are greatly appreciated.

[joecar]

Take the LM-1's analog signal output and signal ground and connect them to your FlashScan using the orange connector block (turn V2 over and see label showing polarity of each AD input... signal goes to AD+, ground goes to AD-).

Using the LM Programmer software set your LM-1 to default, and cycle power (reboots the LM-1).

Now you can select the LM-1 AFR/BEN calc pids.

so it hooks to ad1? Any one know what color wire is which on the analog cable?

I talked to Wait4me on the phone and he advises to go ahead and hook up the BBL and scan with a serial cable due to accuracy. I am going to read some more before I am a pain in the arse with you guys. I will read and read the read first page and then give this a try.

From WHat Wait4me told me ,the lm1 is not very accurate with analog and needs lots of calibrateing to be accurate. I am going to look more into this BBL. I will check back with you guy's tommorrow night.

Thanks, Chad.
