Palm Pilot Emulator

I have been playing with the Palm Pilot emulator on my Win XP machine and I am wondering if any work has been done to make the emulator work with the Rtek 2.1 ECU? The Pocketlogger software seems to work just fine. I bought a female to female serial connection just to see if the palm emulator would read the ECU, but it didn't.

This would be neat if it worked. I was questioning this myself. You might have to set it up for the palm emu to use the serial connection somehow?...

It would be sweet if Digital Tuning could find a way to make this work with the 2.0? Things would be a lot easier as far as modifying maps!

In the EMU options it has a setting for "Port Rerouting" but I tried every setting and it still didn't recognize it. It doesn't seem like it would take much work for someone who knows programming, but I really don't know. It would be great though. It makes stuff so much easier to read too. And if it did work you could use it with a carputer and in dash monitor.

It does work. Are you using a usb serial adapter or no? I got it working by using a cisco rollover cable (db-9 to rj-45) and then the rj-45 to db-9 adapter. My issue was the speedstep on the computer jacked the logging up

You can get it to work, but it doesnt work well. Logging is slow.

It doesnt remember any preferences. You cant save logs, you cant save maps. This is because of the emulator, not the software.

It's not recommended.

Link to this emulator? I found one a long time ago, but it was a shitty one and wouldn't do what I wanted it to.

http://www.tucows.com/preview/261443 This one will not do what you want it to either though. As Turbo2ltr said.

I have made slight progress. I found the Palm Pilot "Simulator" called Cobalt. It allows the RX7 Logger program to save settings! You have to save a .ssf file. Once the simulator is open you can load that .ssf file and your RX7 Logger app will hold the settings you chose. I haven't done anything with the ECU yet because I need another cable to make it connect. Probably a USB type. This could be a good step in the right direction or it could be just a mirage, but it is interesting. Lets get some others playing with this stuff and maybe we can figure it out.
