CDL3 RS232 serial OUTPUT

Hi all

I expect I am about to be very upset but...

Is there any way to OUTPUT a RS232 serial stream from a CDL3?


Was hoping to pick up a stream of some kind into the PC in the car for a Python driven gauges display without duplicating the UTC already attached to it with an after market USB to CAN device (ran out of USB ports).

Thanks in advance

Try Selecting Telemetry Only, then edit the template and change Device to Async TX 1. Modify the ASCII Transmit Setting to add a delimiter and termination. Add some channels and see what you get.

If you're planning to use serial GPS, you'll need to put that on another RS-232 RX

Good Luck.

Looks very promising, thanks David.

Will test further when 15 dollar serial cable arrives!
