AEM UEGO Serial Cable Instructions
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
OK, I took some pics real quick this morning before I jumped in the commuter car for work.
This is the D-Sub connector wired. I used blue and black wire to keep the continuity with the blue wire coming from the AEM gauge itself and a black wire almost always meaning a ground.
Here is the back of the connector where the wires actually feed in. The smartest thing to do, like others have said, is to make 2, three foot wires so that the connector can hide behind your ash tray, and then you can take it out when you're ready to log. Like I said before I used a blue wire and a black wire. The blue wire runs from the D-Sub on the back of the connector to the blue wire on the back of the gauge. The black wire runs to a ground plain and simple. To install the gauge and be able to log, you will have to run 2 grounds, 1 from the gauge and 1 from the D-Sub. I crimped and soldered the ground wire from the gauge and the ground wire from the D-Sub into this:
I then used a bolt that is on the inside of the driver's side fender very near the fuse box and kick panel as a ground. That bolt already has numerous grounds on it, so be careful if you are taking it all the way out in order to use it as a ground. (Sorry I don't have pics of the ground I used)
This is a pic of the Dynex serial to USB connector connected to the D-Sub connector all ready to log:
Hopefully seeing pics of the completed D-Sub will help people out. I know seeing actual completed products makes it alot easier to make. Making the connector is painfully easy, but sometimes it's tough to understand without actually seeing it. If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to PM me. I'm not an electrical expert at all, but I can help you install this gauge and be able to log.

well i just set up the cable today, at first i could not connect through evoscan, then i changed the wideband com port to 3 and it was able to connect in evoscan but it did not log any afr. any ideas?
diiirk, I hope my pics helped you out.
Yes, thank you, the pics did help. i do have the external wideband ticked, and the car was idling so it was reading 15.2 on the gauge. but when i went back and looked at the log there was no afr. Under the logging tab at the top, there is something that says choose com port or something, does that need to be changed to the com port that the wideband is using. i only changed the com port to 3 under the wideband tab, i checked aem uego then chose com port 3. im thinking maybe the logging com port may have to be switched to 3?? im pretty sure everything else is good. i soldered the wires in good and everything.
If you have XP, right click on My Computer and go to Device Manager to see what COM port your Open Port and UEGO are using. After you find out, open EvoScan and make sure the COM ports checked there correspond with Device Manager.
Any other ideas?
I have assembled my cable and installed my Uego in the car. I tested the connection with hyperterminal and it was successfull. When I open evoscan (ver2.2) and try to datalog I get this error:
Unable to set COM state The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request
Info: Datalogger Ended.

Plain and simple.. you have to set your computer up so that the cable is on a certain com port. For me its usually 5. Then I have to setup evoscan to listen on that same com port. Use device manager ( mangler..lol) and you will be fine.
I have been setting up the com port. Like, I said the computer was communicating through the specified port in hyperterminal.
Anyway... I solved my problem by uploading version 2.1. everything is working great now.

I have v2.2 and it only gave me an option of port 3 or 4. If I tried 4 I would get an error when I tried to start logging. By selecting port 3 the logger starts with no errors but it is not reading anything from the wideband.
My connections are good and looks just like the pics in post 91. I didn't use the same serial to usb cable, I got the one from RS and did install the drivers.
Help please.
someone send it to me please jdmcwestevo@yahoo.com
I went through and reconnected everything.
I opened hyperterminal and was getting and "unable to open com8. please check you port settings" error. I disconnected the serial port to the gauge connection and reconnected it and tried hyperterminal again. Some type of data started streaming acros the screen (I was expecting it to show number values, it was just symbols), so I closed hyperterminal and opened Evoscan and nothing! I went back to hyperterminal and I'm getting the same error message again.
I'm not all that familiar with these type of computer connections, what am I missing here?
