I've got an old EEC-V ECM I bought as a spare for the SVT Focus I owned quite a few years ago. If anyone wants it, you can have it. I'll even pay for shipping to contribute to the cause.

This was a few years ago, they had a few isles of VN/VP/N13 still and myself and a mate just went down the isles and collected about 10 or 15 ecus each. They were really confused when we left, they were expecting people to grab big mechanical stuff, but they still honored the deal. They chatted for a while, we told them about the forums, 12P code, and they seemed keen to get in to efi conversions themselves but they've never done that deal again. My lifetime supply of 808s still stands :) This was a bulk/cheap wrecker, the type that dont put V8s or modern enough cars in that yard so its not like we missed the P01/P59s.. none to be had.
Ours does the same, though for $75.
Once filled 2 buckets with PCMs and such and grabbed a hitch receiver for my Venture.
THOSE things typically run $100 USED.

Shoot, you guys are lucky. Out here in California our local yards wayyyyy overprice stuff.

Tazzi,
I just picked up one of these AVT-716 that does VPW and PWM, more toys :lol:

I forget that the AVT dev has made alot of devices over the years. It literally looks like one of the EECV ECUs or old Holden VT ecus opened up. :lol:

If that's what I get, it sure is pretty, lol. Looking forward to testing it with the Y cable and his logger :)

Already done more than enough! Have saved me probably a couple weeks of reverse engineering
My AVT-716 showed today. Sadly, I may not be able to play right away. If I can get it working, let me know if there is anything you would like me to try.

It looks like an early AVT prototype, it might need its own thread though so we stop polluting Tazzi's OBDX Pro thread.
Have you read the FAQ? For lots of information and links to significant threads see here: http://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1396

Agreed, I will start a different thread for the AVT-716 when I get to do some testing :thumbup:

I know theres been ALOT of developers waiting on this, I apologize for the delay!
Finally have completed the first initial release of a very basic windows C# example using the OBDX Pro Scantool!
Link to github page: https://github.com/OBDXPro/OBDX-Templates

This examples does the following:
1) Scans for all tools connected
2) Connects to scantool
3) Connects to selected protocol (Canbus)
4) Sets a filter (0x7E8)
5) Writes a CAN network message (0x7E0 01 00)
6) Reads response message

The above is more tailored towards a GM vehicle or ECU that responds to a message with ID 7E0.
I will be doing more examples for different protocols, vehicle setups and other capabilities of the available scantools.

The examples uses our OBDX Windows library which is basically all of the OBDX Pro commands in a tidy package that allows easy use of its available commands. All the low level communication via serial is handled within the library, and only the OBDX functions are exposed for devs to use.
My aim here is to have an extremely easy starting point for developers so they can begin creating applications without having to worry about the complexity of processing the low level DVI command structure.

Next up is releasing our OBDX MAUI C# example which will work on both Android and iOS (more to come about this).

The OBDX Windows/Maui libraries are being hosted as a NuGet.
This allows them to be updated separately to someones actual project, and allows OBDX to make updates without requiring a full redownload of an example project :thumbup:

Template release for MAUI template example should be up by end of day. I am just finishing off some minor touches before doing the initial release.

This initial release ONLY supports connecting with an Android via classic bluetooth.
The next release will allow connecting by BLE on iOS, and also adding direct USB cable connection for Androids.

For iOS, the end goal will be connection by Wifi since it is much faster.
For me personally any code I compile off any windows machine using MAUI does not seem to allow opening the socket connection over wifi. I have now had two developers indicate they are able to connect to the WIFI and open a socket connection to an OBDX tool using the same template code I use. This then makes me wonder if the issue is directly related to the iOS version I am targeting, or just my compiler which is causing the problem.

I know it is not my phone, since if I create a iOS application using a MAC, I am able to open a connection easily to send/receive data. Anyways, this is on the todo list so that iOS has a couple options for proceeding.
