Oh thank god now we are getting somewhere, i would not start with timing.
Now its time to read the Wiki and then read it again, and then read some other info on it,
then read the wiki again and more and more. There is many ways to skin this cat, but I
would start by changing fueling and seeing what that changes in a log.

Hi again gents,
Iv'e successfully installed ME7Logger but I cant get a readable list to select the desired logging fields from.
When I click "Edit Config" I get a notepad screen with illegible script on it so I cannot select the variables that I require for logging.

I know that I'm missing something here but I don't know what.Could any of you guy's put some light on it for me so that I can start logging?
Iv'e included some screen shots of the issue that I'm having.

All the very best guy's
O.T.

Strongly suggest getting it working on the command line first... I know the purpose of the front end is to make it easier to use, but if you are having problems connecting, doing it via cmd line is best..

If only so people here can see the errors you are getting to help you fix it.

Try both USB FTDI direct and COM connections. If using a RossTech cable, make sure to use the VCP driver and to enable VCP and make sure the cable gets a COM port assigned to it.

Try unplugging the cluster, pulling the cluster fuse, or a dedicated kline to the ECU.

Also, will the ECU log on a bench harness?

I had lots of problems trying to use ftdi cable. Ended up trying original serial hex com cable and all worked fine.

Hi nyet,Tshirt2k,
Ok, still not connected yet.I have 2 cables one is a really cheap £5 thing and the other is the KKL VAG-COM 409.1 K-line to usb converter.
They both do the same thing with the logger which is nothing!.However I was able to read off the ECU through ME7 Flasher though with the same cables.

I didn't unplug the ecu but I did have the battery off for some time though as I just changed the clutch two days back.
Now tonight there was some small progress in as much as I did get it to start doing something like a log but only with the ignition switch off now I'm really confused.
I've tried every combination for coms that there is with all the options the tools have to offer and I can only get anything at all in cmd mode only with the ignition off.
I don't have a bench harness and I don't have a serial hex com cable but surely lots of people get this working without them using the cables I have.

What can it be guy's?
I've put a screen shot of the ignition off thing that I did in wordpad and if all goes well the .csv should be attached.

All the very best guy's
O.T.

Try this:

Quote
- connection method "double slowinit" added (helps with "instrument cluster" problem)
  To use double slowinit set in the [Communication] section of the .ecu file:
    Connect      = SLOW-0x00
    DoubleDelay  = 12           ; Possible values 1 .. 100 (delay in 100ms)
  This only allows to connect while engine not yet started.

Worked for me with DoubleDelay set at 50.
Turn ignition on, connect logger, start engine.
