datalogger DIY. important

[u6t9]

ok, i need a datalogger really bad. i've found many different brands all over the internet, but they are alos pretty damn expensive.

Now, i found a web site that sells what looks like the cable/interface one needs to connect a pda to the OBDII connector on a vehicle.

what all would i need to make my own connector thingy? someone said you need the T16-003 interface. would you just hook up your hotsync cable right up to that interface? do you need another cable?

also, where could i get software (preferably free) that would make this work. i know there are several kinds.

i think someone with the knowledge showld post a DIY how-to thing on here on how to make your own datalogger for a 2G for us broke ass DSMers. thank you very much for any help at all.

also, i know there are different protocols (ISO, VPW, PWM, etc...)
would one of these home made ones work with all of them? how would you get it to work with all of them? is the software different?
thanks again.

I can't remember, but I think that company only sells in bulk.

 

[u6t9]

they do not only sell in bulk, i checked and the minimum order is $50.00 dollars, so that's not bad.

Oh yeah? Hmm, I could've sworn I contacted them for a quote and they would only sell in bulk... must've been another place. Well good for you then

so does anybody know if the T16-003 interface will work with a palm?

what is the best software? what do you guys use?
