I will be building a cable soon for my laptop to read ALDL data. I 'looked at the 3 different ones on Craig Moates' site and wanted to know which would be the best one for this? I will be using it on a 165 ECM with Winadl. Anyone have some insight on which is best?


Thanks

<crickets chirping> Anyone?

 

The Winaldl site has some schematics for a cable.

Pick one. I'd go with the MAX232 AKM layout... Or the 2-transistor dealie.

 

Thanks Craig. I guess I'll be attempting to build one of those along with a programmer from here http://batronix.com/electronic/circuits/eeprommer.shtml

Hopefully I'll do it all right. I was looking for the parts for the programmer at Digikey and could only find maybe half of them. I did a search (google of course) and came up with this palce that has all of the needed pieces http://www.mouser.com/
If anyone else is looking to build their own programmer I might be able to hook them up with the PC board for it.
My dad is going to etch a couple for me since he can get double sided PC board easier than I can and has all the stuff to do a professional looking job.
