It's not useable for Mitsubishi's because Init procedure requires driving L line without driving K line and L line must be always Low during data exchange on 15625 bps. :(
If I understand in 1.3M when L line low - K line low too.


Are you sure EVOs have an L line? what pin on the connector would it be? I have the wiring diagrams and full technical and workshop manuals for Evos 4,5,6 & 8

wow...you guys are talking a whole nother language. I hope you continue progress on this datalogging software as it'll complement the new ecuflash 1.3

[Original Post:]
Hi All,

I am starting a new project called "EvoScan"
This software will be Windows Based (since I program in VB6 or VB.NET)



This tool will be very well designed and very nice on the eye with latest graphics tools and techniques used.

This tool will be specific to the initialisation and reading of data from Evos, but I will be making xml configuration files so you can load other cars also.
XML file will be something like -> CarModel/ECUSytem/Mode/DataItem/ ValidMinValue/ValidMaxValue/Conversion/Units/FriendlyName/...

I have actually got hold of a lot of vb6 code for the checksum and crc calcs and init sequences for other vehicles. I will post it here.

Decisions to be made:
- Which com port API to use
- Which langauge (c++/vb6/cb.net)

yeah as I have posted, they are the dundas gauges, with the dundas gauges you can style your own too at runtime using the wizard and it saves as a xml config file. although I am looking into using Windows Presentation Services Beta, which uses vector based graphics with support for zooming and transparency using the new xaml langauge.

Thanks for the feedback, maybe I can make a whole bunch of dundas gauges that look similiar to that skin.

domsub yes please, I'll take a look, but I've already have been through 3 sets of code before I found a stable serial port class for vb.net. I pm'ed you my contact details.

the pic will have to receive the data from PC Rs232 at 19200 bps, and then store the value, and output the byte at a TTL level of 15625bps.


Check PM for you.
