The Wemos is programmed using the Arduino programming suite so it shouldn't be too much to use the code you found on the Wemos for your project.

This project used an Wemos Mini esp8266 and a python library that made the esp8266 appear to Alexa as a Hue controller. This project is probably far from what you want but it may provide a starting point for you.

If the vehicle is in the US and has an OBD connector, you can go to any of the chain Auto Parts stores and ask them to do a scan. They will be able to tell you what protocol the vehicle uses. You can google the vehicle's VIN number to find it's origin. If the vehicle is an automobile or light truck,...

Ah, that devil in the details. For a number of years I made a product, the DataCam2, that read operating data from the OBDII port and overlayed it on a video feed which was then recorded for later viewing. The interface is not a simple serial connection. First, the ZX24 family has a TTL interface an...

That's the difference. My manual version is 1.7 and here's the clip. Note the lack of pitch info vs the 1.9 version.

Thx,

Dave,

I've looked all over page 40 and I can't discern the pitch for the headers. (Actually, that was the first place I looked before I posted to the forum.)

I've used Wiznet's serial to ethernet boards and like them (they're inexpensive) so I ended up with one of their serial to wifi boards. The only problem I have with them is that their drawings are simply their construction drawings that lack simple things like the header pitch! I tried to measure th...

Has anyone had any experience using 1mm headers? I just got a Wiznet WIZ610wi serial to wireless board and it uses a dbl row 1mm header. I've found bare connectors at Digikey and Mouser but what I'm looking for are prewired connectors so that I don't have to crimp and insert the connectors. I make p...

First, thx to all who responded. What I found after some further research (and actually finding the correct Prolific download site) was that the problem isn't with the mobo or the adapter. The problem is with WinXP 64. Who would've thunk!!!!! I downloaded the correct driver from Prolific, ran the in...

Thx, Dave - perfect and I really love the price.

As an aside, it's amazing how little specification detail there is on most sites for inexpensive products. It seems like "the price is so low, what else do you need to know" rules.

Thx,
Paul

I just upgraded my mobo and found that my USB/Serial converter is a USB 1.1 device AND my new spiffy (even has USB 3.0 ports) doesn't support legacy USB 1.1. I'm currently running WQinXP64 but I'm soon to upgrade to Win7. My question: Does anyone have a recommendation for a USB/DB9 serial converter ...

Digi-Key has an eval board for $150!!!!!!!!! To be fair, it does have 2 smt resistors and 2 smt caps already mounted AND the connector headers. Better hurry before they sell out :roll: .

Paul

so does that mean that if i convert code from zx24 using a software usart that i need to invert the signals or does does this mean the h/w usart behavior is the same as the s/w usart ? I'm not sure exactly what you are asking but you cannot change the invert state on comm2. See page 70, DefineCom()...

Com2 pins are hardware assigned. See USART chart on page 17 of the ZBasic System Library Reference Manual.

Do I understand that the zload thought it was using a serial port? My ZX24 device uses a Wiznet RS232 - Ethernet converter to put the device on the network. I'm going to try putting another Wiznet on the box that has the zload and sure that I can get that to work. What I'm looking for, however, is m...
