Locost 7 Site

Wiring the bugger.........I don't want to offend but.......holly crap........ I want to keep this locost so i'm using the original lume and will be stripping it back as i go. Check out the photo's of the car with everything (i can find) plugged in.
	OK i received some error codes so I then had to purchase a USB OBD scanner. Grabbed one off eBay really cheaply. I am not endorsing this one over others. Just this is the one i bought. I had to contact the manufacturer to get it to work. Here is what I HAD to do. 1 Unplug the internet from my computer so when I plugged the OBD scanner in, Vista asked for drivers rather than going to the net for them. 2 Use the drivers on the disk that came with the OBD scanner 3 Set the com port of the device to COM3 4 Load Program Software and ensure the software is set to COM3 with Baud rate changed from "9600" to "38400" 4 Right click My computer----> Properties----> Hardware----> Device manager----> Interface Then check if it shows usb Serial Port(com3) and Baud Rate 38400.


	Nothing like a fun afternoon with the old Oscilloscope, laptop and a *&%^$& Duratec ECU and Loom A nice wave form showing the High and Mid Bus + from pin 6 High Bus and Pin 14 Mid Bus. they should be mirrored apparently. Mine has a bit of noise as well. Not impressed, don't know how to fix this yet.
