Does the ecu have a spare rx/tx or can output other than the comms port?

so you can run both comms and dash interface together

says nothing in the manual on the wiring info.


bloody useless.

drop em an email, their tech guy will know for sure

Ryan

already done jim

Ryan

found the info on another manual, why they have 2 is beyond me.

As expected its only via the 9 pin serial D connector, BLOODY mavelous!

means i have to make a patch lead to run both. tip fucking top!

Best bet is to phone between around 08:45 and 09:45 where you can speak to dave himself, he sorts emails as soon as he gets there.

It's ok I sorted it after searching and looking.

Not the best setup idea, but I guess that's why it's a lower end ecu.

Ryan,

Why are you surpised there is only 1 port as most ecu's are like that !

I know higher end stuff has multiple ports but that isnt exclusive for dashes etc...

You are either mapping the car and the mapping software displays the correct readings or the dash is working for normal driving ..simples !

Its a bit like saying why do cars only have 1 steering wheel..LOL !


Jasesaphy,


Go fuck yourself .. Please dont put me in the same group as the norfolk inbreds

Its easy to confuse carrot crunchers with turnpin wurdelers....

pee vee

funny that... cos my K3 has 2 ports.

1 for comms and one for dash.. you must have the earlier ecu??

or have i misunderstood somethin here lol

Ryan

I mean there is only a port for comms and datastreaming, and it's round the back of the ecu, rather than intergrated into the main connector.

pee vee

think im tired. as im not quite following



1 com port for the PC connection.. 1 port for the dash connection
and then the loom plugs in the other end..

i am being thick i think LOL

Ryan

Well acording to the manual that other port is for wheel speed inputs

richm

Ryan is correct, the comm port supports both RS232 and CAN datastreams. The second connector supports wheel speed inputs and Aux. control inputs.
I have done a few systems now which interface to dash/datalogger, I just make a breakout adaptor which gives us a permanent dash/logger connection as well as dedicated PC connection port in a convenient position in the car. Easy job for a wiring harness Pro
ps. Page 26 of the manual shows all the connection details
