Diy aldl cable serial#

since it uses the FT232RL, it should be a quality, long-lasting unit. I selected ECM type 1227170 in WinALDL (ver 1.09) to use with my '86 GT (automatic). Seems to work fine with an ancient Toshiba 430CDS notebook computer running Win98SE. attach a male OBD1 connector (for $15 plus shipping from, or i potentially have an overseas supplier that has a cable that can be used after some tweaking for a little under $9 shipped) and you have a fully functional and professional enough looking cable.ДЄnyways, tested at 8192 and it works flawlessly. Rory, I was finally able to try out the ALDL cable I got from you. put it in a radioshack project box for like $3(since this came with it's own USB cable) and you're out the door with a USB ALDL cable for just under $12. Now, assuming you can get ahold of a male ALDL connector or just use the bare pins for whatever reason, you'll have 2 or 4 quick solder joints to make and then you're done.

then soldering into the solder cups of a DB9 connector? also a pain. Look for a board that terminates in a DB9 connector. That operates at only +5v and 0 or +3.3 and 0. The cable you show is for a TTL level RS232 port. Actual RS232 ports operate at a + or - 15v.

ever built a MAX232 on proto boards? they're a pain. The diagrams for making a DSM cable start with a Rs232 serial port board and then they add the diode and resistors. So anyways, before this i was using Parallax 28030 units, which are serial->USB adapters, so i converted the 8192 stuff(basically TTL?) to serial using a MAX232 circuit, then converted serial to USB using the Parallax 28030. also passes the tunerpro 'test for cable' when unplugged from the car, not something i'm used to with my current cable. just went and tested it on the MC, works great.

:homer:ДЄnd when it comes to homebrew hardware, simple is always good. Let me know if that link doesn't work, but it's what i bought a few weeks ago.ДЄnyways, this convenient little piece of hardware allows you to hook up to a 8192 baud ECM with 2 wires.
