Re: Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

Picked up another adapter the other day, same chipset, different brand. Works fine. :yeah!:

Go figure haha.

Re: Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

I'm the only one in the area that builds/tunes Megasquirt systems as far as I know. I know one other guy that had one and sold it.

Yeah, they were both plugged into the same outlet. To test, I even hooked it up in the car and ran the laptop off of the battery. Still nothing. But it works perfectly ...

Re: Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

It's a standard stim, not a jimstim. Powered with a 12VDC, 500mA wall wart.
I've tried 3 PC's - two Dell latitude D830 laptops running XP Pro SP3, and a Fujitsu tablet PC running win2k SP4 (this is the machine I'm using in the car). The MS is MSII, PCB v3.0, ms2extra 2.1.0p codebase.

This behavior ...

Re: Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

That's strange. At this point, I've tried about 8 different drivers, I've dropped the FIFO buffers to 1, even disabled them entirely at one point. I've found that sometimes if I turn the stim RPM all the way to 0, the gauges will work, but as soon as it starts sending a tach signal, they stop ...

Re: Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

In that case, I'd rather a mod move it - I deplore cross-posting.

Prolific Serial->USB Adapter

I've got a Prolific adapter, chipset PL-2303. It'll connect without any issues, and I can eventually burn data across it (takes 10+ minutes), but nothing in the dashboard shows any data. I can open a terminal and see some data transferring, but nothing operates. Seems like I read somewhere in the ...

Re: Power up/spare ports

Actually I think that's what I'm looking for haha. I was just exhausted and looked over it. I'll test it out tomorrow to see if it functions like it needs to.

Power up/spare ports

I may be an confused person and have overlooked it, but is there an option to change the state of one of the spare outputs (Fidle, for example) on power-up? Basically, here's what I'm dealing with:

Using a 1G DSM as the example.
The ECU has two different power inputs. Backup power comes in on pin ...
