Interesting, thanks.

I'll come back once I have hooked everything up and have done some practical tests.

Got the reply from DTA: "RS232 Stream The following data is transmitted on pin 2 of the serial connection port at a frequency of 10Hz. Header Bytes Data (all 16 bits, binary, LSB first) RPM Throttle % Water Temp C Air Temp C Manifold Pressure Kpa Lambda (Unit Less) Battery V (X10) Undriven Whee...

Turby: It's not the waterproofness of the case I'm worried about, it's the way "indoor type" connectors tend to suffer from surface rust in no time at all in cars. The actual weight of the connector and the way I'm attacking the curbs does not inspire confidence either. Stevieturbo: That i...

I read it and understood it but it was all talk about the Dsub which I didn't want to use. I did not realize the cable had a hardware-translator box on it, the info on the site is not always very clear I'm afraid. That makes the cable quite affordable I'd say. On the topic of serial vs. CAN, the pin...

Thanks for the reply but did you even read my post?

I was hoping to:
-Not have to pay 100GBP for a cable
-Connect directly to the data-stream connector pins on the back (main) connector on the DL1.

Is that possible?

There are about 20 different topics for something close to this but I don't want to hijack threads. Hope you understand. On the DL1 connector there are designated pins for data communication and that is also true on the DTA ECU pinout. Is there a way to use this to log ECU data on the DL1 instead of...

Cool, Now we only need the Google camera sats to do another run over the tracks in Sweden...

I use a somewhat dulled down multimeter measuring point, works way better then any screwdriver I have tried.

I also have problems. Use the tach Out from an MSD 6A and the signal looks perfect, no problems with noise or anything but it reads too high. I also have an Autometer tach Pro Comp 2 Ultralight connected and it reads correctly, verified with speed vs. gearing calculations. ~6700rpm reads 8000 on the...

So does anyone know the formula they use (with steering angle)?

Thanks.

So all the 8 analog channels are 12v?

What is the resistance in the analog inputs? For instance, can I put sneak a lead from my brake light to an input terminal without frying the DL1?

Wised up a little and added a 2kohm voltage divider. Got almost the full range now.

I bought a couple of pots today, 10Kohms. Wired them up to the DL1 from the 5v output, through the whole range I can't get anything else then 4.7v to 5v on any of the pots. Measured with a multimeter the pots read from 0 to 10Kohm no problems. What gives? Need more resistance to get the voltage down...
