Actually, there's a computer store right around the corner. I went in, bought up some cheapo USB-Serial adapters, then went out to my car and (from the driver's seat! Boy it's cramped!
) went to work.
The FIRST adapter I tried fired right up. I sent the device:
78123400
And all of a sudden, hex code splashed across the screen. So I stopped it and tried the TCU. The TCU sent hex code as well, but it was noticeably faster.
Now here comes the problem...
The ECU is speaking gibberish. Complete and utter gibberish. The TCU is coherent, sending the same code and sending it very quickly. The ECU is about half as fast as the TCU, and sends a whole bunch of junk. Kevin's software can't lock onto a ROM ID to even begin to read.
