Sanj's ALDL cables for FreeScan available
Discussion
Hi all,
I've just had a batch of circuit boards made for my world-famous <grin> ALDL cable design, for use with Andy Whittaker's even more world-famous FreeScan engine monitoring program. These are the only ALDL cables specifically made for the 4-cylinder Lotus Esprit with GM ECM, featuring circuitry that is entirely contained within the DB-9 connector shell. The newly designed board is even more robust than my previous model, dozens of which are in use all over the world.
I have a few cables available for immediate purchase. In a few weeks, WC Engineering will have these available for purchase as well. Contact me offlist for more info.
Cheers,
Sanj

Start with the lappy - try to find one with an rs232 port versus using a virtual usb
Follow up with Freescan - Download it well, for free as the name implies.
Lastly - the dongle. You can make one (I did) for just a couple of bucks. You'd need a 3 - 6 foot db9 cable, cutting off one end and adding the shell, transistor, resistor and maybe a capacitor. There are many diagrams available for GM ASDL or whatever it's called out there.
Have it er. The diag port in the boot is usually the most easily accessible. The one behind the glove box requires great convolutions of the human form to release it from its docking holder. At least it gets you pointed in the right direction when something goes wrong.
