OK, find out how easy that wud be for you to set up and we will take it from there.

There is a chance that i may just cover the stuff you have already tried, but sometimes it helps to bounce ideas off someone else ay.

Let me know.

Cheers

yeah it does help heaps. Would be even better if the subaru manual had which pins were tx/rx haha... If i cant get it going it wont be the end of the world but it would be so so cool! Will see if i can get an ecu id after work today and i.ll let you know

It doesn't really matter at this stage which ecu model/id you use, all we are trying to do is get the evoscan to connect to the car. When you hit the "start data logger" button, the top right panel which is labeled "recieved data/"event log", should start to produce text and after a few seconds it should change to a green colour(if it's set to do that in the options) and and text should come up with A1100D. If it says it's connected and you get the A1100D then your laptop is connected to the ecu the right way around, the connection is the right speed and you have the correct type of cable selected.

If you don't get a connection it is one of those three that's the problem.

Once we get it connected then we start to look for te right rom addresses to ask for information.

If you go into the evoscn program file there is a folder called data settings, in there you will se a file called "data", if you rename that as "orignal", then download the file called "A1100D data" from...

and rename it data and put it into the saved data folder you will find some new addresses to try.

The other id in there is for my car and if you look you will see I have got all the trouble codes in there both saved and current as well as individual injectors and a few other things that are not in the standard trouble codes. I have other copies of data with most of the subaru models in but this is my experimental version that Gazzy and I were working on.

ahhh, all feels so familiar!

I think skype has an application/module that lets you remotely take over another users desktop so you can both chat at the same time and see/interact with the chosen desktop, dont need a web cam just a mic.

i shud have done this with you as i have a wireless network at home and cud have easily sat in my car with my lappy in the driveway. We wud have got alot further alot faster, just a thought, chris is quite savy so it cud be worth it!

That would be cool alright Gazzy, but I fix computers for a sideline and I've tried connection via remote desktop before and if the other person is on broadband and their router has security it is real hard unless you go and sit side by side and work it all out. Well that's what I have found!

If you know how to do the remote thing through a router gazzy, I'd love to lear though. I'm on a wireless router without any security if you want to try and connect to my computer first? And before everyone shouts idiot, I'm in the country and my wireless doesn't get even half way to the road.

Yea, na its do-able for sure.

Dosent matter going through a router, pretty sure its all done inside the skype program itself i.e.no addition ports used on the router.

But all we need to do is simply try it ay! I got friend coming over shortly, but can do testing anytime after 7 any night of the week incl weekends.

So if you you want to have a tinker, just pic a night and we'll do a couple of test runs. Plus if it dosent work with skype i have loads of tricks up my sleave! ;D

Yeah Ok. I'll get skype and have a read up.

Monday perhaps then, I'll send you a mail and confirm if/when I've swatted up.

[gazzy2000]

yip cool, i hook up my lappy and do some testing betwn PC and lappy.

Then we can compare notes and give it a crack

Hey guys I know this has been ages since we last talked about this but for some reason my interest has been re-sparked to get this working. Where did we get to with the A1100D ECU?

[log1call]

There are some new definition files...

http://www.alcyone.org.uk/ssm/SelectMonitor.ini

Those are for the SSM software and I\'d suspect that the A30117 definition might work for your car.

Those addresses could be moved into Evoscan or there is a "data" file online for it. Try your car in SSM with that file copied into it.
