lotus54 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I’ve heard a couple people said they were going to try to make one- but I don’t know of anyone that has actually done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwishaun Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi. I tried making a cable using a FTDI chip cable - USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_0.0. However while my laptop K-Scan could see the ECU using a genuine Ossa cable (with Kokusan communication unit), it could not detect the ECU using the FTDI cable I made up. I tried all variations of polarity and with 12v on the power circuit but no system recognition at all on the FTDI cable. My suspicion is that the FTDI chip needs to be programmed to see the Ossa ECU.

ossabc63 Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hello i tried the same ftdi cable 5volt usb to rs232 and could not connect. Tried with windows7 and older flaptop with vista still nothing. Reading about kokusan denki ecu also used by arctic-cat and others seems as they say they uses ttl interface which is a different ftdi usb to ttl232 serial cable. If someone with the btwice usb style cable could plug it in to there laptop and check the device manager should say in properties what the drivers make and numbers are. May say in the device page if the cable is ttl serial. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus54 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I’m trying to get my old diagnostic laptop to boot, still being recalcitrant. But I’ll post my driver info as soon as I do. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Here is what I’m using. This is Win7 and it works just fine- I just connected to my Explorer (of course, the injector is off since the engine is out and it sprayed fuel all over). Hope it helps. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwishaun Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi, I checked my drivers and all seem to be correct (see attached image). I have 2 x FTDI cables (A) USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_0.0, and (B) USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT_5.0. I also have 2 x laptops - 1 x Sony Vaio with Windows 10 - which is the one I have snipped the attached driver details from, and 1 x old Dell Inspiron with Windows XP. I also have the FTDI driver (for XP laptops) on this laptop and the system shows it installed and working properly. The problem is that with both laptops and both cables I still can't get the K-Scan to see the ECU. I have tried all possible variations, so I am still suspicious there is a difference between the generic FTDI cable and the Btwice cable. If anyone has any suggestions they would be very welcome. Thanks. FTDI Driver details for Windows10.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus54 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Seems to me I had to make sure and pick the correct USB ‘port’ also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwishaun Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi, I have tried all the Com port options 1 -10 as well as Auto. If you have the Btwice cable can you check the port settings to see if they are the same or different to mine - as attached? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
