Depending on what I am doing, some updates are smooth, some the engine rpm varies (low) and sometimes stalls.
What sort of connector as a pass through did you use? I might be doing the same thing here pretty quick.

I didn't use a connector Tom. I used that fitting you see in my pic's which is a compression gland (cable entry gland). I cut the end off the USB cable, passed it through the gland, soldered the fitting back on and put some glue impregnated heatshrink sleeving over it. This eliminates one join in the connection from laptop to PCM.
The ribbon cable MUST BE REMOVED for the mini USB to work properly.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
DUCT TAPE.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I'll work on a connector to make my life easier, is Craig working on something? I don't wanna dupe his work.
Thanks for the advise on removing the ribbon, makes sense, probably a termination issue.
Yes....Craig is working on a fix.

I'll touch base with him, his website talks about "impending doom".....
Pretty sure Craig live down in Louisiana, maybe he was bracing himself!.Originally Posted by N0DIH

I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
Ah... It was only a category 2 by the time it got to BR. LA has afternoon showers worse than that!
Aside from outright failures, has anyone had a problem with RR simply not working in real time? I can connect with no problem, the engine starts and runs fine, but when I make a change and tell RR to update, nothing happens. I haven't connected a wide band yet, but I'd expect RR to function and handle things like changes in idle speed, timing and other simple changes. Anyone have any insight?

No, I've just been trying to verify RR operation. Everything seems to work as it should, except that when I change an entry and send it to RR, nothing changes. I tried making a change, sending it to RR, then uploaded the file from RR and it was the same as the original download. I'm just trying to figure out if the problem is with me or RR.
