Just hooked it up today and confirmed it is indeed logging to both the screen and saved log correctly. Since the AEM UEGO doesnt come with a serial port attached you have to make your own. Buy a female DB9 cable (may need a male depending on the serial port on your laptop), wire pins 2 (use blue wire coming off the AEM) and 5 (Chassis ground). Connect cable to your serial port, select the correct com port and AEM UEGO and you are good to go.

 

That's great news!!

now for the hijack.. lol

Does anyone know if you can connect the AEM to a USB port cause my laptop doesnt have a serial... OR do you know of a good USB-> Serial adapter that is compatible with the AEM and a 2004 R50 Thinkpad?

 

Mr. EVO IX,
I am using a serial to usb converter for my laptop because I dont have a serial port either. Best Buy sells them, any should do.

 

Hahha so it seems every wideband not tested works but the one that was tested does not work ahha that is crazy

 

yeah it is...i was really wanting my LC-1 to work with EvoScan...dang it...

 

I'M DESPARATE FOR LC-1 support!

I've never typed all caps in any message before now.

 

Thanks for testing it for us!!!! I was going to do it as soon as i got home at the end of the week. I was a little worried it wouldnt work.

 

Great News . I am about to drop the $$ for one of these and was worried that it might not work with EvoScan.

 

Awesome. Thanks for testing! I just bought my AEM a couple days ago with the hope that it would work with EvoScan.

 

Bump, I'd love to see some pics of this.

 

What com port are you using with the serial>usb conversion?

 

Pics of what?

On my laptop, the Serial-->USB input comes up on COM6, so that's what I use.

 

When you refer to chassis ground being wired to pin 5, do you mean the ground wire that comes off the AEM UEGO guage?

Thanks

 

I'm an idiot. There's no way I could wire something like that up without a picture...

 

Oh, I didn't realize what you meant. In the instructions (you can get them from AEM's website.. check in the forums section), it tells you how to wire the connector. It's very easy.. you only need to solder two wires (one for the serial data and one for the ground) to the serial connector. If you forget to connect the ground wire, the gauge WILL NOT communicate. Then, just use a USB-to-Serial adapter that you can buy anywhere (check Best Buy, etc.) for about $30.

To know what port to use, go into Control Panels/System/Hardware/Device Manager and look at the USB ports at the bottom of the list. The one labeled "Prolific USB to Serial Device" or something like that will be the one you want to look at. Right click on it and select Properties to find out what COM number it's using. Select that same COM port in EvoScan. Note: If you have two USB ports and you plug in to the 'other' one, it'll probably get assigned a different COM port number.
