ALDL Logger Support Thread
Please use this thread for any ALDL logger support questions, feature requests or bug reports. If you would like to purchase a logger, or express interest if none are available, there are more details in the for sale thread here .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopi ... =14&t=1809
>-------- Instructions --------< >-------- Firmware --------<
V1.00 – Initial Release
V1.01 – Fixed some flags being missed in ADX parsing, added better ADX debug support
V1.02 - Fixed bug for ADX parsing on VT and later, fixed bug for slow write on VT and later Known Issues
None
Feature Requests
Malf code checking and clearing
Multiple message logging
Pass-through ALDL
>-------- Support Files --------<
The ADX zip file contains files for the following vehicles, if you develop or modify any ADX files please post them in this thread so I can update the zip.
Logger ADX for testing the aux inputs
12P (Message 0 and message 6)
11 (11_E fo engine with aux logging and wideband on aux 1, 11_T for trans)
A5 (Regular and passive)
A6 (VS3)
SP3 (NO3, SP3 Message 1 and NO5) The logger requires this header file (unzipped) to be placed on the SD card for XDL file creation.

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
I was one of the fortunate people who snapped up a ALDL Logger from VL400.
Today i fitted the logger into its case and done some testing.
VL400 has helped with a $11 adx for the logger, will modify this for addition input for my wideband.
Hopefuly do some logging with it tomorrow purely for testing
Soon will be converting to Ls1 T56 and running 12P
Big thanks to VL400.

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Looks good mate, keep me posted on how it all works out with the testing 

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Ok heres a $11 ADX for the logger that works in Tunerpro. (thanks vl400)
Has wideband input on Analogue 1 (green wire) and has gauge in Tunerpro dash for it. Also history table for wideband.
Wideband also shows up as item 12 in the logger.
Logger is GREAT for anyone not using 12P as u dont have crap resolution from using the inject voltage 0-25v when using 0-5v from innovative/AEM widebands and still gets logged in sync with everything else!
I highly recommend this little unit!! i might buy a couple more myself.

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Thanks for testing the $11 ADX, have added them to the zip now - will add your changes too.
Have also released V1.02, it fixes two issues relating to the ADX parsing changes of V1.01. For VT and later the write was really slow due to some commands being missed, was only writing in free time on the bus ie one frame every 300ms

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Well here is another one. Like turbov8 I too was lucky enough to get one of these little beauty's. I can see it being one of my favourite tools.
With the new V1.02 firmware a "Get Cal" file size of 16384 bytes will take 24 seconds and to "Write Cal" the same file back takes 1 min 10 seconds. Great improvement over V1.01 which took close to 17 min.
Speed with OSE12P is very fast 10 sec for both get and write.
Upgrading firmware was very easy and quick.
Thanks VL400

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
just a question VL400, with my earlier "prototype" logger, it looks like the display is further away from the buttons here than mine, is that correct or am i just tripping ?
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower! 
Just starting out? Have a read of the getting started guide

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Thanks for the feedback
Very neat job on the cutting and drilling too. 12P has a nice speed advantage of 128 byte read and write packets compared to 64 byte read and 8 byte write of other code types.
@Holden202: Should be very similar as the buttons board is the same (although it does look a little different), might just be the way the screen is cutout?

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
ALDL Logger with real time clock installed. Hope I put it in the right location. GND and 5v lined up ok.
Trying to get the real time clock (DS1307) to work.
I have loaded LOGGER.ADX into the ALDL Logger, and with the USB cable supplied plugged into the laptop I see in device manager "Other devices / USB Serial" appear.
Not sure how to configure TunerPro to use the virtual com port of the logger.

Re: ALDL Logger Support Thread
Looks good, it will need the case modified with it installed there
Its just a mm or so too tall. It can also be stuck to the PCB on the opposite side of the board to the SD card but needs some jumper wire to connect it up.
In the PDF instructions there is a section on getting the virtual com port to work, you need to download and run an app .. http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/serial_install.exe . Once that is done the flashtool can be used to configure the time (instructions have some screen shots)
The logger.adx is to be run by the PC, load it like a normal ADX and using the virtual port it will just log the logger.
