Issue getting ECU data to log & display

Postby datracer99 » Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:45 pm

I recently purchased a DL1, Dash3 and ECU interface.
I have an M4 Motec ECU.
In the ECU I have set data set 5 and 9600 baud for the telemtery.
I initially configured the Dash3 to display certain ECU
related data, but at a recent test day got no ECU data on
the dash3.
I've just reviewed one of my runs and cannot see any ECU
related data being logged.

Serial data is enable in the DL1 for both card and serial out.

My vendor suggested I need to flash the ECU interface to
get it to work with the M4 - is this correct?

Also, I set up a test layout on the dash3 before I put it in the car.
I have since tried to change the configuration of
the Dash3. I created a new DASH.HEX file and saved it, as
the only file on the CF card.

But nothing changes on the Dash3 when I load the card.
I know the Dl1 reads the card, as it starts to auto-log and
creates a file.

I have checked that the all 3 connections on the ECU interface cable are correct.

So why won't my config update, and why no ECU data?

Any ideas appreciated.

a possible solution to both your problems could lie in the DL1 firmware.
Can you confirm that it has the latest firmware update please.

For the latest firmware please visit this webiste

Do not reflash the ECU cable just yet, see if the DL1 firmware upgrade helps out.
