I was thinking the same thing, Looks pretty cool though.
I noticed on the actual site, that there is no finished kit for sale, only all the parts to assemble it. Anyone want to tackle it?

I thought you could buy these OBD-II to USB connectors on eBay?

I always thought the problem was software, not hardware. If they have software available that can read the signals from the ECU, you should be able to buy one of the pre-mades on eBay.

a quick google search and I found this cable

I think with the proper setup and a good diag software you could pull alot of information. I am just not sure how to write back to the computer. On my 88 transam I have OBD0 and I just burn a new chip for every tune.

Re: Build your own Datalogger

No you cant change stuff, its just a scan tool and only appears to have SAE PID's (NO GM enhanced stuff) but either way thats cool as hell!

does not appear to change anything. it just looks like we can moniter things and record them for later tuning.

or if you are having a problem with the engine you could see what is going on
