I'm just wondering if anyone tried out this thing called, "digimoto".. I saw the banner on top and seems pretty neat.. Wondering if I could get some 'real' feedback.. pros and cons..Digimoto website

 

Doesn't look like it's even made for a Series 6 RX-7.

 

I bought it because I needed an OBD-II code reader. Works fine on my Saab ('00 Viggen) and my Jeep ('99 Wrangler.) It had a little trouble with a VW that my brother was diagnosing (but then it's not a $2000 Tech-II) but it read the codes fine from his '02 GTI. VW uses a lot of custom diag codes. It cleared them fine though.

Just so you know, there's no way it will work on a US RX-7. None of them had OBD-II diagnostic ports.

About Digi-moto.. it's the same generic board with the ELM chipset that's floating around the rest of the net.. coupled with some software. Actually the software is weak. Reminescent of the work from a 16 year old with a copy of visual basic). I thought I could come close to datalogging or something but it only catches updates from the car like once a second. Enough to barely use for troubleshooting. Fortunately you can use the other software (or write your own) as it's just a serial interface.

The board is good and the folks from Digimoto sell it at a good price.. but you'll probably want to dig up the original software from the ELM website.

 

NewbernD,

Thanks for the info..
I didn't think it would work for US fd3s.. but since its being advertised here.. I thought, maybe I missed something..

Thanks again..

 

yeah I was wondering this too - I guess they missed their target demographic...kind of odd.

 

Here's another one with a free software download:

I thought about buying one of these to check out my other cars but never did.

 

Not kind of odd. cars after '96 came equipped with OBD-II interfaces. Not many before '96 did.

 

and since no rx7 was sold here after mo95... they sort of missed out on that. of course alot of us here have other cars. it's just kind of funny.

 

exactly I mean they even show the FD on the advertisement. I guess there are a few 96+ FDs on the forum, but you'd think they'd hopefully pick other forums where a car in NA wasn't discontinued before OBD came into existence.

 

Actually, it's an R/C car in their ad.
