rockle3 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Can anyone lend me their tactrix cable or help me datalog? I would normally do it with my AP dongle but I need to be able to log wideband with my uego....which is another problem in itself. Thanks in advance.

Spec B Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Not sure how the UEGO works, by my innovate LM1 WB uses a seperate usb port on the laptop...it is completetly independent of the logging cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmafod Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Same here. I use the ebay vag com instead of the tactrix (can't use this on your '09), and log my AEM uego through a seperate USB port on my '05 obxt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockle3 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 how do you connect your aem to your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmafod Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 My gauge-type aem wbo2 has a serial output. I followed the instructions included with the gauge to attach the aem serial wire to a 9-pin serial terminal (swiped an old serial cable from the supply room at work). Used the serial-usb adapter from diyautotune.com, set the bit or baud rates of the port to what the AEM instructions said. Selected the AEM WBO2 input in romraider's logger. Attach the ebay cable to one usb port and the usb-serial converter to another usb port, turn on the car, start displaying or logging. Done.

timmafod Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I would use this usb-serial adapter instead of some unknown ebay piece. usb-serial adapters are notorious for not working well. I trust DIYautotune as they are well known in the megasquirt and miata community. It's only $20 and I have confirmed it works with the aem and romraider software. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/usb-to-serial-adapter-works-with-megatune-p-67.html Instead of buying a 9 pin serial terminal and attempting to solder the wire directly to a pin, I "borrowed" a standard cable from the supply room. Like this one for $5. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirt-tuning-cable-db9-straight-thru-p-35.html I cut the cable about 3 feet long. I ran the wire under the center consol and through the storage box under the arm rest. I coil it up in there when I'm not using it. Also, it's much easier to splice two wires together than solder a wire onto one of those pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
