[beniger]

i've been trying to log my 1g dsm on my laptop, found software and made cable got drivers the work, but cannot find comport 3 to hot sink my laptop to the emulator or the mmcd for that matter. Can anyone help?

You can hotsync your PC to emulator in a few different ways.
1. Network hotsync-Use the Hotsync Manager in PC Progams menu, you have to configure your settings for your IP adress,etc.
2. You can do a null-cable sync.
Both of these can be found in Palm Emu. Docs.

Try using TMO.

What cable are you using?

 

[dredman1]

Are you sure it's not seeing the comport, or is it that the connection to the ALDL port is not connected properly? Sometimes I have to re-seat the ALDL connection 2 or 3 times before I get a reading on my MMCD emulator.

What error message are you getting when you try to use MMCD?

i get either com port 3 not found from the logger or that i have to do a local sync, i'll reseat the cable to be sure. TMO said the "cable was not connected properly" but i removed the pins on the aldl and cut soldered into them, so the cable would be permanent, then put the pins back on the harness. The cable is tight maybe i have to give it a little bit of slack. I made the cable as per the diagram

*edit* whats a null cable?

This is one of the methods to hotsync your Emulator to your PC.

Ok i've never logged before but i've done so much reading that i need the cable to turn up to 15 or 16 lbs,
because i also got my hands on a 90 eprom ecu (finally) so i want to log also when i get my 850 injectors and drop in a walbro and get up to 21 lbs...for now. Would it be easier to buy a logger?


*edit* I forgot so i do need to sync the emulator to my laptop in order for it to wrok properly

 

[rts91tsi]

Yes, you have to sync the emulator to your laptop for it to work correctly.
Believe me, it can be a real pain.
It's not hard to do though, just read thru the Hotsync proceedures in the Palm emu docs.
You can get the step-by-step intructions.

ok i'll drop an update either tonight or in the morning after class


*edit* i got it to sync now i have connect the cable and make sure it's being recognized i'll keep this posted

 

[beniger]

no i don't think the computer is putting out a com 3 port even with the drivers any ideas?

 

[juanpac0]

COM port 3 wasn't working for me either, but COM port 4 did for some reason.

 

[beniger]

com port 4 worked for you on which program mmcd or tmo?

MMCD, but this was using that high speed serial to usb converter, the name is slipping my mind right now.
