If it works please let us know.

PalmLog is running on my TRGPro. Ben, would you mind sharing the PalmLog Environment Setup for the MSPNP? Thx

Atlanta93LE 10-17-2007 04:52 PM

Sure thing. I'll post up when I'm home tonight and can grab the palm.

Stealth97 10-17-2007 05:09 PM

I did a little research on the Visor, looks like it has the multi connector, and it talks TTL, not RS-232 so it is probably a no-go. too bad, I love those.

Well crap... looks like i have to buy an old palm then.

Stealth97 10-17-2007 06:16 PM

as long as you have it, please try it. The Serial cradle bumps the TTL signal up to RS-232, so it *may* work using that. If you dont want to bother, you can send it to me and I'll play with it on the MSPNP :)

EDIT:

Nevermind, Looks like one guy on MSEFI got it to work, he had to yank out the TTL signals from the CPU before it went to the RS232 chip.

http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?t=16019

EDIT Again:

After further research, I'm pretty sure this is everything you'd need for the Visor through the MS serial port:

RS-232 Visor Specific Serial cable (or hack a cradle). These have built in chip for TTL/RS232 conversion. This chip needs 5V to operate it, you need a way to power it.

Null modem adapter or swap pins.

I will probably look for a pIIIxe, but something about rocking an old-school VisorPhone appeals to the geek in me.

Here is my PalmLog Environment Setup, as requested. It works for me on my MSPNP MM9093, but I cannot guarantee the values. In fact, I can't remember how I got all of them. I did a bit of reading on the msefi forum.

MAP-Off: 9.0
Map-Sc: 0.984
C-Bias: 2490
A-Bias: 2490
Cool-A: 1.222E-3
Cool-B: 2.776E-4
Cool-C: 4.196E-8
Air-A: 1.506E-3
Air-B: 2.250E-4
Air-C: 1.247E-7
WB-Off: 10.00
WB-Sc: 2.00
RTU Char: R
Bytes 39

I have my "boost in psi," "Fahr," and "diywb" boxes clicked; I am using the Techedge diywb.

Ben 10-17-2007 07:20 PM

Wow, thanks, I'm glad I asked you for yours. My values were different. I used the therm and mat factor values from the config file that was WITH AFM, not the values from the WITHOUT AFM file. Confused me for a minute, but I'm glad I was able to see your values and catch my error. :bigtu:

Still working on the MAP scaling... I think I have it nailed. Haven't built the null modem adaptor yet to check it though.

I think my values will be the same as yours, except for the MAP sensor calibration:
MAP-Off: 20
Map-Sc: 1.490
Not 100% on those values yet though.

Ben 10-18-2007 08:49 AM

So I made a null modem adaptor out of a pair of DB9 ends I had. And guess what. Without looking, I made a M-->F adaptor, like what every other device gets... And this piece of crap needs a M-->M adaptor. :td: I don't have any more male DB9 terminals.

cjernigan 10-18-2007 08:53 AM

Bum deal. Radioshit has more DB9 terminals if you need them.

Ben 10-18-2007 08:56 AM

just waiting on traffic to die down. :)

Atlanta93LE 10-18-2007 09:11 AM

btw: Have you looked at how the palm transfers a datalog to the computer? The data is sent via batch mode to MLV while essentially "synchronizing" the palm via PalmLog. I'm not so sure you'll be able to just pop the CF card out of the palm and read the datalog file from the computer. You'll have to figure out a way to translate the raw palm file to datalog file on the computer (replacing the palmlog synch. built-in translation).

Stealth97 10-18-2007 07:14 PM

woot. I just picked up a IIIxe off ebay for $6.00. Cant wait to give it a shot.

sotaku 10-23-2007 10:12 AM

Started doing this myself recently. Freaking loving it.

However, I'm unsure on the AFR readings at the moment. For the LC-1 what would the WB-Off, WB-Sc settings (or any other settings) be for its default setup? Right now I just have "Other WB" selected with WB-Off: 10.00, WB-Sc: 2.00. The readings seem close they seem but perhaps a little rich.

Any ideas?

Splitime 10-23-2007 02:11 PM

Fun... have a winning bid on a lot of 3 palm m105s... with docs and nother junk... and I find out that palmlog isn't written to support the USB mod to MS.

Blah.

sotaku 10-23-2007 02:52 PM

Nevermind on my question, got it. Found it in the MSEfi forums.

WB Offset goes from 10 to 7.35
WB Scale goes from 2 to 3.01
(for the LC-1 Analog 2 default set up of 0v = 7.35AFR, 5v = 22.39)

Ben 10-23-2007 02:59 PM

mmm... is that how you have yours set? I'd configure it for 10:1 5V - 20:1 0V
and get more useful resolution out of it.

sotaku 10-23-2007 03:29 PM

Hmmm, really... I suppose that'd be true, since I'm not running that rich, or that lean.

I may just do that this evening.

And do you mean 10:1 0V - 20:1 5V? Or am I just not understanding that right?

Ben 10-23-2007 03:33 PM

yeah 5V @ 20:1, sorry, my mind was somewhere else when I was finishing hte message... because when I was reading your post, I realized the solution to my map sensor scale problem. :)
