How to: DucatiDiag

I'd wonder across to the DD forums if you haven't already and have a good read. There's a wealth of info available.

JP has also written some software to test the operation of your cable, give this a shot if you haven't already.

Ozzy, I did, I tested this morning and it all came out good

[OzzyRob]

Ok mate, theoretically it should then work.

Unfortunately having a earlier Monster that's about as far as I can go with any advice. Suggesting you look for gremlins or evil spirits probably wont help too much  . It does work.

it gave me COM8, it's win7pro so it did it automatically

So you should set DD to read from com8. I think the default DD setting is not com8.

[DarkMonster620]

OK, here is how far I get with this, all tests go OK, today it decided it was gong to be COM18


dd3

dd1

any light on the issue?

[OzzyRob]

Ok to begin with I'd have only one app at a time open, serial comms can be finicky. Some apps have issues with comm ports greater than a certain number. I know in XP with the driver you can set what com port the USB device is given. If you can try setting it to com4 or under if possible. I know it sounds silly. The cable test software does not use the virtual com port driver to toggle the lines.

I think some advise to use a slow init compared to a fast init.

I really recommend you go over to the DD forums there is a greater wealth of knowledge there.

[DarkMonster620]

I've gone there a few times, I get lost!!!

The comm port will change based on what usb port you connect it to, Most of the time it will stay the same if you keep using the same port.

Try running it in compatibility mode for an older version of windows.

[OzzyRob]

The FTDI driver lets you assign a port number. This is for XP I'm going to assume win7 should be similar

Did you request a license file and copy it into your DD directory? Won't work without it.

[OzzyRob]

That's only for the remapping as my understanding goes.

offhand, here was my xp in using ducatidiag

False
You can connect to your bike's ECU if you don't have a license but that's all you can do(This is as far as I got in the tutorial). You must take the info dump from the ECU and post it on the forum to get a license from JP(the author).

1/2 true
You must pay ($133) for a second license to able to write maps to your ECU.

Darkmonster, I'll look for a pin out of the cable later today to double check against yours. The power lines may be correct but the data lines maybe off.

So if you want a tune, you would just dyno your bike get the AFR ratio and adjust accordingly with the program? Does it also tune each cylinder separately?
