Palm Pilot Emulator
I have been playing with the Palm Pilot emulator on my Win XP machine and I am wondering if any work has been done to make the emulator work with the Rtek 2.1 ECU? The Pocketlogger software seems to work just fine. I bought a female to female serial connection just to see if the palm emulator would read the ECU, but it didn't.

In the EMU options it has a setting for "Port Rerouting" but I tried every setting and it still didn't recognize it. It doesn't seem like it would take much work for someone who knows programming, but I really don't know. It would be great though. It makes stuff so much easier to read too. And if it did work you could use it with a carputer and in dash monitor.

It does work. Are you using a usb serial adapter or no? I got it working by using a cisco rollover cable (db-9 to rj-45) and then the rj-45 to db-9 adapter. My issue was the speedstep on the computer jacked the logging up

I have made slight progress. I found the Palm Pilot "Simulator" called Cobalt. It allows the RX7 Logger program to save settings! You have to save a .ssf file. Once the simulator is open you can load that .ssf file and your RX7 Logger app will hold the settings you chose. I haven't done anything with the ECU yet because I need another cable to make it connect. Probably a USB type. This could be a good step in the right direction or it could be just a mirage, but it is interesting. Lets get some others playing with this stuff and maybe we can figure it out.
