So talking with ECU Master Support, the baudrate is 19200 for the classic they said. I’m pretty sure it gives TTL communication from the 5 pin serial port. When I turn the car on it stops saying connecting to the port so I’m pretty sure it connects but then it says 0 connected devices when I check(maybe its wrong). Everytime I load an XML file into the connection, hit done, close it and go back, the XML file is no longer there, is that normal? Is it possible to connect the classic using serial?
The direct connection to ECUMaster EMU is not a CAN connection, so it does not use CAN or OBD2 XML. The last page with title ‘Custom Channel Description File’ is for debug purposes and should really be removed.
Do you see ECU data in ‘Settings->Application->Debug Data View’?
No I do not see any engine data there and I set a text field to display connected devices but it only reads 0. When the ecu is off, it constantly reads trying to connect, when I turn it on it stops saying that so I assume it connects but idk. I’m using a TTL converter so maybe it’s not TTL? I tried RS232 but it didn’t even send raw data with that. I’ve confirmed it is sending data to my computer I just can’t get realdash to display it. Also if the custom channel description file is only for debug purposes is there a different area where you would upload an XML or is an XML just not needed?
XML is not needed with direct Ecumaster EMU connection.
Definitely sounds like an issue with serial connection. It could also be that Ecumaster has changed something on the protocol that we are not aware of. To our knowledge it should output 5-byte AIM datastream. Maybe that need to be configured for the ECU?
These are the options I can select from, currently haven’t tried anything but ECUMaster Serial Protocol, should I try AIM Dashboard? It’s weird because I can confirm the stream using my PC’s console, it’s in hex so I can’t read it but there is data flowing in that looks correct, I just can’t get RealDash to see it, my TTL to usb converter also reads it is receiving data, Baudrate set to 19200 (this is what ECUMaster support told me it is)
Update: I got it working, it’s RS232 not TTL for anyone in the future
Great, thank you for sharing this info.
The data seems to be updating pretty slowly, every 1-3 seconds. What are some things I could try playing around with?
Don’t know really. Data stream from Ecumaster EMU should be quite light, so I don’t see any reason for it being slow. Unfortunately we do not have Ecumaster ECU to test on by ourselves.
You could try a different serial-USB adapter.
