Creating an adx

[buddrow]

Ok braintrust. I'm trying to get an adx together for my trans controller project. I'm having issues with connecting to the serial data stream from the arduino board. When I test connection in TP it acts just like it would if testing for an ecu data stream. But when i try to actually connect and view data it basically locks up the arduino and i have to disconnect the power to the board and all is well again until i try to connect.

I beielve the port settings and all are correct in TP but obviously I'm missing something. I'd post my adx. It don't have internet at home other than my phone.

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,

Buddrow

locks up the arduino?

bug in the code?

[buddrow]

The code works fine with the arduino ide serial monitor. Ill ha e to play with it some more i guess. Not being too savvy on serial communication makes this one more hurdle in his project. I did get it running on both my arduino mega board as well as the mini pro.

if serial comms of any kind lock it up, has to either be code issue or some crazy mis-wiring, right?

you're using a standard serial cable to a normal serial port? or...

Ok i started fresh with a new add. During the test connection it sends a request to the ftdi board and the ftdi tx led flickers for a few seco ds hen goes out but the mini board has no response. I did remove the reset wire from the ftdi to the mini which i assume is why it quit "killing" the mini. But still no data. I may be overlooking a handshake or something that TP wants to see. I dunno. This is my first attempt at an adx so...

Ok so now the "DA:Connected" is solid blue. But still not sure how to recieve th data from the arduino and I terpret it. Making headway though.
