OBD GM ALDL software

84RegalRider · 10-25-2006, 04:49 PM

After about 3 months away i decided to start developing it again.

So as it is right now... works for 83-87 gm aldl (might work for others but have only tested on my car) and my carputer is dead so i havent retested it for about a month (if you got mobo to donate that would be great).

not working for linux but soon will be.

you need to follow the readme in the comm folder to install a package in java.
then just double click on the jar file.

i will be working on it so ill update when i think i have done a good amount.
if you find it works for your car, please tell me so i can add it the list.
the same goes for errors and suggestions.

I know this is for a very limited amount of people (guessing like 3-10).
so i hope those of you who can use it enjoy it.

very cool my van is a really expensive paper weight ATM so if i get a chance i will test it out
what ecus does it work with also are you familiar with winaldl i have the source code for it its written in c
thanks look awesome

84RegalRider · 10-25-2006, 05:15 PM

yea i know winaldl great program.
if you could send me the source that would be great i would like to take a look.
not sure the exact ecu number but it will be for 3.8 CLCC ecus. So if you have anything in that format it will work. If you dont it wont, though i could add it and probably will.

I like the look of the gauges, once you get it complete it might not be that big of an effort to make it work with the other scantools.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Hi 84RegalRider,

Yeah I was thinking that your gauges would complement some of the other software available on the market for OBD2 interfaces quite well.

There are some nice packages available for OBD2 but something Java based would afford the portability to allow use on any platform, I noticed you mentioned that your software does not run on linux yet but that you are working on it. I am guessing it's just a matter of getting the serial routines working properly?

Thanks
Paul

not even that, just putting the filesystem code in there.
like / for linux and c:/ for windows.

Would it be possible to view some of the WinALDL source? I am attempting to write a dashboard style interface and just don't know how to go about obtaining the sync bit information... Argh!

I also began coding software for Holden (GM) ALDL 8192 Baud interface (http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/aldl8192/8192hw.htm), but could never get the software to sync with the incoming serial data. Any pointers on using Serial ports in VB.NET would be appreciated...as well as any source code I could get my hands on.

Thanks,

looks like u got to send a request for data

Jarrod · 10-29-2006, 04:03 AM

That is nothing like the 8192 baud ALDL protocol that I am working with. I have all the specs, commands, etc, just need advice on how to handle constantly streaming serial data with VB.NET.

Thanks for trying tho!

Small Update.

planning on making an installer for the less java friendly people.

-added code for Linux
-settings now saved in a file called settings.txt

84RegalRider · 12-14-2006, 01:04 AM

i know not too many ppl care. But since someone killed my car, my project is on hold till i get another.

but if for someone reason u need something about it, just give me a pm.

I would like to add the ALDL to my hand held OBDII device, www.sterntech.com, can you send me the information for the ALDL protocol?

Thanks
