capture/repeat data ?

[DynamoBen]

Once you get it assembled post a string and I will do my best to decypher it for you.

BTW if you ever decide to go with the ELM327 the ELM website has the PCB and schematic for that board, scantool doesn't.

Hi, here is the email I sent to elm.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm very interested in purchasing your products, mainly to start with, the elm322.
My question is, with your product can I record a specific section of data from the vehicle, for example, window down, and then be able to re-transmit that section of data back to the vehicle to perform the window down function ?

Thank you for any information on this

Hello:
Thank you for your interest in our products. Sorry, but our OBD ICs can not do that for you.

Maybe I didn't word things right to them or do their chips communicate with the ecm on something other than class II ? What do you think about this ?

[DynamoBen]

That is not the original intention of the device; so he is correct. However I know your application and I think it will work. I also know Jim (J Nagy) very well; he created the chips and is the owner of the company. He and I are in contact quite a bit.

I think the issue is how the email reads. Most times window up/down is electrical; not data. In your case its data, assuming it is VPW this device should work great.

Remember, worst case, if it doesn't work and you have diagnostics device for your vehicle.

I emailed Jim some of the back-story for clarification. He likes to hear about new uses for his chips.

Yeah, I think you're right about the wording.
And that's true as for the worst case, I'd like to have that anyway.

Thanks and, do you have a 2500 HD by chance?

[DynamoBen]

What is a 2500 HD?

[Sam]

A 2500 HD is a 3/4 ton heavy duty chevy truck.
The reason I asked is I read on another forum about allot of class II details written by a very smart guy named Ben.(who has a 2500 HD)

Nevermind, I'll stick to what we're doing here.

Thanks

[DynamoBen]

Nope not me; although Ben's do tend to be a smart bunch.

Do you mind posting the location of the info you are talking about? Then I can study up a bit.
