I have a new computer, but I guess dell figures serial and parallel ports are obsolete. I was wondering if this setup would work for datalogging uberdata or crome. It is a IOGEAR usb to serial adapter connected to a max233 on my ecu.

 

it should, dont see why not

 

Yes, it will work. I had to do the same thing on my old Zdyne Gold ecu and my Compaq laptop. The funny thing was the Comp USA guy said "They don't make a serial 9 pin to usb adapter. You will never have to adapt the two, it doesn't happen!" so on the way out I strole past the Palm Pilot section and all be damned'. there it is.

 

Looks good to me. Don't forget to change the baud rate to 38400.

 

I use that IOGEAR USB->Serial as well... Works great...

BWAHAHAHA...that is hilarious because the EXACT same thing happened to me when I had to get one of those for my buddies Emanage. "uh they don't make those"....next isle, there it is...I wanted to be like "yes they do stupid"

 

That's funny. I felt the same way. He was just a dick about it too. "the computer industry doen't have a need for that adapter."
