Hooking up the LM-1 to use with Calcon

[QWKSNKE]

How is this done? Wideband is installed and functioning.

I know you use the data q in line before the laptop but I am unsure how it all goes together.

In addition to Lee's question... can the TwEECer R/T use the USB version of the DataQ? I remember reading something on the TwEECer forums a while back that said it would only work with the COM port version.

Neither my nor Lee's laptop have DB-type serial ports, so this is possibly going to be an issue.

Do not have a lot of time but will look for the brand of adapter that you need for the usb/serial problem an post later. I have added in a short snipit from Joshua's website that may help on somethings. Of course he uses a PLX on his but the priciple will be about the same....

The usb version of the dataq still does not work with the TwEECer as far as I know. I bet you could drop Mike Glover an email and he would answer this question for sure.......

The TwEECer software will also interface with an external datalogger to log external signals in the same logfile as the logged EEC parameters, such as a wideband (WB) O2 sensor and a MAP sensor, and now a G-force sensor on our Performance page ( http://www.plxdevices.com/Gsensor2Axis.htm ), as well as an AutoMeter full sweep fuel pressure gauge, or even just volts. These loggers are purchased from DataQ for $25 and plug into the laptop via the COM port. http://www.dataq.com/194.htm

http://www.shonutperformance.com/DataQ_Settings.gif - correct settings for the DataQ and a PLX WB. NOTE – when enabling DataQ, you may have to make the changes, then close CalCon BEFORE you try to log, and then re-open before trying to log. If you don’t, sometimes you will get an error when you try to log without saving the changes first by closing the program.

For a PLX WB, connect the black PLX wire to the ground terminal on the DataQ (as well as your power ground), and connect the white wire to Channel 1 on the DataQ.

NOTE – do NOT install the DataQ software unless you need to use it for looking at signals other than what comes from your WB. Doing so will over-write the CalCon UltimaSerial drivers with trial ones, so that you get this message - http://www.shonutperformance.com/UltimaSerial.gif

If you have done this, download this update and install the two .exe’s inside in order:

We are one of the mods of the software section of the TwEECer BB, and have written a few key posts and posted relevant info, such as:

Will post some more things later when I have more time or just get Lee F. to call me sometime next week.

Edit- Ok here is one of the links that I was thinking of for the usb/serial adapter.
It will add one serial port for the dataq to work with Calcon.

If you need more info just give me a call.
