Is the power supplied through the ECU harness or the serial port? |
Alright thanks for the heads up, was just curious because I know you can get a small amount of power over serial. Lookin' to be up and running by the weekend :D

Having a similar problem, the laptop is recognizing my usb to serial adapter when plugged in but no driver has worked for it, even the driver sent with the cable, when i open device manager on my windows (xp) it shows up the yellow triangles which i assume is a problem with the driver?
|
I don't remeber exactly how it went but I drove myself nuts with something I thought was device manager related.
It turns out that device manager will only display things correctly when the cable is plugged in. |
well i have the usb to serial cable plugged in and it still shows no driver for it, or i assume thats what the yellow triangle is. It also wont communicate with the MS1 or megatune likewise
|
Do you have the DIY adapter or another brand ?
Their adapter comes with the driver and the driver can also be down loaded from the DIY site. The DIY site also has a utility that helps you sort out comm problems - don't know what it is called. I had problems connecting to Megatune only using a Rat Schack cable/adapter but was able to connect to Tuner Studio. When I got the DIY adapter I was able to connect to both programs. You may want to email matt. He helped me out a lot with my issues ( matt@diyautotune.com ) |
awesome thanks for the info

Did you make any progress ? |
still no progress, it just keeps showing that the driver isnt installed. after the 3534535 time trying to install it
|
If you have DIY's adapter you can also down load the driver straight from them....
Did you do searches under "Communication Problems" and stuff like that. I think we have had issues with connectivity. Also check Miata.Net |
i believe its the usb-serial adapter im using, crap, im going to just get DIY's adapter
|

No problemo :x:

I'm stumped.
I haven't tried to connect to my MS in a few months but last time I did everything was fine.... Today I can't connect to Logworks,Megatune or Tuner Studio. Tried all the ports, tried Ports Check and it tells me there are 2 ports open. The lap top makes that "Bing" sound when I plug and unplug the cable. I downloaded the driver for my adapter from DIY again and I still can't connect to any of the above programs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :vash: |
What port is the USB adapter using?

Hi Matt!! :wavey: The lap top has 3 USB ports in the back. I don't know how it assigns numbers or designations to them but I tried all of them. The ports work for other things like a wireless mouse... Any stuff I can try ? |
What type of laptop do you have? I would suggest trying a different laptop and see if that works. You might also want to go to a local goodwill and see if they have any old laptops for sale. I recently picked one up for $25 that had a real serial port and it works great for running TunerStudio.
|
Thanks!! It is a Dell Inspiron 1200. It is pretty old.
|
I meant the COM port number, sorry for not making that clear.
