ECU and ROUND dosent communicate
« on: June 06, 2015, 07:22:17 am »
Hello

I have Vems Round EGT and WB gauge with controller. (https://shop.vems.hu/catalog/round-wbo2-gauge-p-101.html)
The ECU is V3.6 PnP for Audi 2.2T.
As i have understand from reading wiki and other tutorials then Round should be connected to the same cable as the laptop goes on ECU.
I can connect to Round with laptop and installed newer firmwire. If i press the buttun on round it is seen through VemsTune also this. But when i connect the Round to ECU it is like it has not been connected at all.
I just want the round to show me info from ecu, nothing more.
I uploaded round and ecu config files for you. Can please some one take a look? https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1KAjjI1MN-JfmdmMG05ZWJxUWJUREhFaGRGazlidHBHV01nM1NNSUE5U29wdVFYcnJQdEk&usp=sharing

Hello Rst,

Did you review the steps on: http://vems.hu/vt/help/main/aim.html ?

If you want to connect the round to your v3 (after the initial setup of both) make sure you use a null-modem cable (cable with 2 male dsub-9 plugs but with swapped tx and rx on both sides, so dsub-9#1 pin 2 connects to dsub-9#2 pin 3, dsub-9#1 pin 3 connects to dsub-9#2 pin 2 and dsub-9#1 pin 5 connects to dsub-9#2 pin 5).

Best regards, Dave

I didnt know that i have to use null-modem cable.
I'll buy one and let you know if i get all working.

If you are using this adapter that should also work (so no need to buy a different cable) as long as it is a true null-modem adapter, not straight (a quick check with DVM in beep mode will tell you more).

Best regards, Dave

Hello Risto,

This should be then the correct scheme?

Yes correct scheme; In our application only pin 2,3 and 5 are used so no need to check the rest.

Best regards, Dave
