i got the pose to sync once, now it always says interupted..
when i check out the log, it says to close programs such as palm desktop, and palmone quick install.
made sure they were closed with no change..

soo i guess until this is perfected, ima have to rock my palm T|X (that i found in my laundry lol)

 

i'm not sure of your setup exactly, but on my laptop with a SERIAL port built in, IT always syncs with the reliability of the palm. except when you view maps, that parts still being a thorn in my side.

 

After waiting 13 days for my null modem cable to come in from China I get the package and inside is a freaking phone charger!!! So today I finally said screw it, when down to frys and bought the cable and was surprisingly cheap and like 10ft long lol. Anyway, after hooking the thing up to my dell d600 I was very impressed. It worked 1st try and didn't have to configure anything. Never dropped the connection unlike my tungsten t3. I can make adjustments to the timing and fuel maps just fine. The datalog function works perfectly although I have tried viewing the log from the software. I was able to export the logs and look at them in the plviewer though. All I can say is that this is a really great improvement over the pda!!! Now gotta get something so I can charge the laptop in the car, this old battery isn't cutting it lol.


For anyone interested I'm just using a dell d600 with windows xp via serial with the female to female db9 connector, and the Palm OS Cobalt 6.1 simulator.

 

any ideas if this will work on a mac? just need the right emulator for mac? It looks so much more pimp than a palm.

 

need help with the rom image could some one send me a rom my palm stopped charging and i thought i could just use this but i still need a rom

thank in advance

 

ok i got a plam but when i try to download the rom i can not select a the usb port can any one help

 

rom's are on the net, you just gotta search for them. look for a m130 rom. if your using POSE.

for the Cobalt simulator, the rom is built in, but it can be kinda buggy.

 

sorry to re open an old thread lol

but let me get this straight. (really want this to work lmao) i can't just buy a DB9 to DB9 Connector, i HAVE to find a Null Modem as well? cause as of now, i have a Female DB9 To Female DB9 hooked up and i have no connectivity (Red X) when i use the Colbalt Emulator.

i'm running Windows 7 if that changes anything lol

 

it's a null modem cable. not null modem+cable. search ebay for one.

 

So its a Specific cable then? not just a Female to Female DB9 cable? damn....

 

I just tried it yesterday and it works for me
I used a Serial null modem adapter though instead of a cable that I bought yesterday at microcenter
http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0237075

and I already had a serial to usb cable from when I had my zetronix
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812203018

Hooked it up to my netbook running windows xp and it ran well. One thing though is the cobalt is slow on my netbook, but the Palm OS emulator 3.5 runs smooth.

 

Sorry to revive the thread but i got the emulator and rom installed on window 7. I just couldn't get the connection to the ecu, it keeps on displaying the X. Thanks for any help. I have the null cable and the serial to usb but it just couldnt connect.

 

Did you tell the emulator what com port to use?

 

how do i set the com port. Thanks in advance

 

How do i set the emulator to run the rtek. I have all the cable and emulator installed but don't know how to set the emulator to be able to read the ecu? Thanks and sorry

 

I got it to link now. It's just that i think my connection is not good cause it could only link for a few minute then it switch to the x again. So i think my connection is not that great

 

I've been trying to data log for the past two day and couldn't get it to datalog at all. It would switch back to X, but once i turn off the engine and turn the key on it would link again. Do i need a pda to datalog?

 

I've tried it on Window 7 (sony vaio) and it would not link at all so i switch over to my cousin window xp (Asus, running intel atom) and it would link when engine is off, but not when engine is running so i cant datalog at all.

 

Cobalt won't do data logging, but the POSE on an m130 rom does.

 

Thanks ill try it out to see if it'll datalog. Ill try to see if i can find the the m130 rom.

 

Got it working today.
Used an Adicon USB to serial port adapter.
A Null modem adapter..http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3964616
And a db9 gender changer .. http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-0278...0968713&sr=8-1

 

I spy Katja vids

Other than that, I'm glad this option is here because I cant stand the palm...once upon a time I had an RTEK 1.7 on my 88 TII, and I had planned to go with the newer version needing the palm. I went with a PFC instead.

Now that I have an S5 vert, I'm considering the RTEK again.

 

I just got this all set up and working last week, and I thought I'd reply here with some info should help out the next person that tries it.

Finding roms for Palm OS Emulator can be a hassle, but I eventually found a random webpage with 4 different ones. If you're thinking of using the rom transfer program that comes with POSE, it won't work unless your palm is connected via serial cable. With USB, it won't connect. I even tried the supposed work around with the USBPort.dll file, but it still failed.

To get POSE and your USB serial controller using the same communications port, you'll need to switch them both to COM 1.

For POSE, launch a rom, then right click. Select settings -> properties, then change "Serial Port:" to COM1.

For the USB serial controller, go through device manager. Go to advanced settings, and force it to use COM 1. Mine defaulted to COM 4.

If everything is plugged in, RX7Logger should connect and allow you to use a mouse instead of a stylus (thank God). I was able to enter my MAP based timing maps in about 1.5 hours, and with minimal hand cramping!

In contrast, I spent over an hour with my M515 and only entered about 50 values. The connection problems that particular model seems to have makes anything but small adjustments a nightmare. Don't buy an M515 (and maybe the M505 too). They randomly drop the connection to the ECU, which does fun things like zero out the cranking fuel map or change all the values in your timing maps!

 

so with the POSE and m130 rom, you're able to save your maps and datalog???

 

Yes, the maps can be saved and you can datalog. I didn't try to retrieve the datalogs to view w/ pviewer, but they're at least viewable through the emulator.
