looks kinda like Digital Tuning's PocketLogger (http://www.pocketlogger.com). It was featured in this months Sport Compact Car. I was checking it out a couple months back. It looks like a fairly good tool. I dunno bout the features of the EBay one though. I just got a Palm m105 for free so I was thinking of using it for datalogging when I get the turbo installed. It's only $175 if you already have a Palm. I personally think it's kinda handy and not too bad for the $$$. Kinda perfect for my needs... a street setup that'll be selftuned for a while till i go hondata.

BTW... Pocketlogger I was speaking about pocket logger's features i dunno bout the Auterra one. Also both Pocketlogger and Auterra say you need to hook up the cable to the "OBD2 connector"... where the hell is that?

Just wish they made one of those for a OBD0 car!!

I already have a Handspring Visor, so all I would need is the damn software...and hookup's.

I am trying to get my Mom's freind(computer geek) to build me a data logger for the visor. Let's hope it works out!!

yah that works with obd2 also. but the pocketlogger can datalog a lot of sensor info ie TPS, MAP, O2, coolant temp, etc. The paper clip deal only allows u to extract codes

This is what I'm thinking...

We need to find a programmer. One that can translate the voltage put out by the sensor, and interpit that into a specific value, and have it displayed on the PDA.

I would think that task would be cake for any good programmer.

Then when the software is ready for a OBD0 and OBD1 car's...all that would be needed is some wiring.

Sound's like it could be pretty cheep, and easy if we had enough people behind it to get it going.

?

I also like the idea of having a little holder for my Visor near my point of vison in the car.

That way, I could keep tab's on all the engine vital's at a quick glance, and still have it be able to record data so I can go over it later.

Exactly.... this pocket logger is basically for us fuckt odb2 people where hondata costs thousand+...... you odb1 people are lucky with that respect...

Our options are to convert for a few hundred THEN go hondata.... or do another standalone like EMS or this thing.
