pocket logger/palm pilot

[Spln_Hrd]

i want to get everything i need except the palm pilot on the internet, where should i get it from? price and quality are both an issue

i want to get the palm pilot from radio shack or best buy or something, do they have them there? how much is one? how fancy of a palm should i get, because i know some are for more than datalogs and i don't think i will need any of the other features?

sorry to double post but i can't find this on the thread i put it on, it fell off the face of the forum

???

 

[P.I.M.P.]

As for the cable search ebay for "dsm cable". For the palm search ebay for "palm v" or "palm vx" (both are good) I paid $35 for may cable and softwear and $60 for a brand new Vx w/ cradle, case, keyboard and hotsync cable.

yeah, how good are the ebay cables/software?

thanks for the tips.

also i was looking at radio shack the palm i saw was a palm one zyre 21.
it had 8mb of memory(is this enough?) and it came with a hotsink usb cable
is this all i need to get with the palm pilot?

i am gonna hit up ebay

I know that you have a 2g, but I got my palm for $55 on ebay.Go to www.pocketlogger.com for the rest. That's a sweet palm, if you go to to the site I gave you, you can see if it's compatible (sp)

So will any serial port PDA work? Or are there only certain PDA's supported?

Edit: Nevermind . . . .

 

[Spln_Hrd]

yeah i don't know much i was hoping someone on here could point me 2 one i should buy on ebay under 75 dollers that would work, and i will just buy it

 

[9d2TSi]

You should buy that palm, but check out that site and see if it's compatible first. If it is, go for it.

i got a color palm IIIc for $60 shipped off ebay..i love it...i also made my own cable for about $0.35...i dont think it would be much different if at all on a 2g

 

[Spln_Hrd]

devil where did you learn how to make your own cable, and where did you get the software?

does this work for 2g's?

 

[Spln_Hrd]

sorry for posting so much.

what do i do to get my knock count because i heard it doesn't show up on 2nd gens w/ dataloggers?

http://www.4g61t.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7414&highlight=data+logger you'll find a picture of a cable apart...basically if you are going to use a palm, connect the diode 180 degrees from how its shown.. but i dont actually know if it will work for 2g's...i would imagine it would though also for software check the tech section here http://www.turbo4g63.com there should be a link to free ware but again i dont know if they have odb II stuff

but i dont actually know if it will work for 2g's...

The OBDI cables don't work for OBDII ECU's. The signal and data formats are different.
