nice prog went a step further and wired a relay 12ma to the output straight into usb mouse counts up codes but cant see seperators so it just keeps counting ?(timing ithink) el ecu in nc fairlane

Cool idea! Hope you used a diode across the relay to protect the ecu when all those fast codes come through

sorry, never got around to it. Been busy elsewhere learning PIC microcontrollers - may be doing a mini diagnostic gadget with LCD readout very soon - watch this space

PICbasic is awesome, if u get stuck i may be able to get my old man onto it if ur willing to share the source. he builds most of his gear from pic processors. he's also into renewable energy and cool stuff like that. I also understand PICbasic, not as well as he does. a copy of ur source would be awesome. me and dad have had thoughts of building our own trip computers using a pic processor but the data line from the instrument cluster has a strange data rate. so it would be like an OBDII Scantool??? or just something to give u the codes? and maybe when to goose the throttle?? (hint hint. i can never get it right!!))

I'm currently fiddling with the 18X picaxe, and I have it talking to a 16x2 LCD display to read a pot value, convert that to a character from A-Z and display it to screen. Basically, you dial in a letter, hit a button, and it prints it on the LCD and increments the cursor position.

absolutely, what the old man can do with them is awesome, they can be used to turn a 2 channel tait into a 430-490mhz set with 25khz steps!!!

no idea about the data rate, sorry, but someone else on here (lukeyson?) was fiddling with this idea a while ago I think. Whoever it was found that the data stream was not quite "right" so to speak, which made things hard.

IIRC a fella called 'Dang' sorted out the odometer programming on E series - from memory he also cracked the trip computer also.

just posted up a q about the data rate, the old man is interested in this again. i'll be in touch, nice DP btw

juts letting you guys know 'Dang' was pretty unhelpful on the topic.

All my work was on a BA or newer, so I'm not sure if that's helpful here. Currently writing a Win32 app to use an ELM327 to get all this stuff. auMatt is currently writing a utility that deals with Clusters - I've seen it do diagostics and set some things like police mode. Not sure if he's adding in the ability to read the IC trouble codes. Lukeyson ELM327 isn't cheap.... i'm looking at doing a project with pic processor(s). can the cluster actually be accessed from the OBD port?

ELM327 already is a PIC.

Actually, you can find them for $50 including shipping from China on eBay. Curious that you say ELM isn't cheap. It's about as cheap as you can get for a tool that does all OBDII protocols. Compare that to the $3000 VCM from Ford, or a $500 all-protocol J2534 tool (Or $300 for a CAN/ISO tool which works on a BA, but not an AU), and it's awesome. Slow, but awesome. But enough of the thread hijack. I'm curious to see what you can come up with. Lukeyson it's time to start a new thread. So the ELM327 is a pic processor based device with a usb interface??
