Todd,
look at ecm165v3 at the ftp site. it includes source code in basic. I have
only been getting a 3byte repeating data out of it (I am trying to figure
out the mode 'codes'and am time limited). It appears to have everything
needed for a '165 MAF application.
I built the little max232 device shown on Peter's pages and it works well
(as far as I've been able to tell). I did have to add a battery to it though
because of my notebook not having enough power from the serial port. The max
232 chip is the hard part, I finally got some samples from maxim (
everywhere else had steep minimum orders).
The male connector is available in several places as an interface cable that
you cut the other end off of.( about $30). I built my own with a couple of
radio shack parts (when I can borrow my neighbor, I'll post some picks),
basically a couple of 6 pin male connectors and a pack of flat pins and
stiff tape to hold it together(about $10).
My real interest has been in the '730,'727 ECM's, but my S-10 has a '165 in
it, and it will be a year or better before I can really get anywhere with
the '727's.Maybe by then I'll be able to configure a varaiation of ecm165v3
for them.

> Does anyone know which cable to build for the 165? I seen the post for the
one the other day for the 730? I was looking at a few on a couple web pages
and find they are basically the same but each one uses some different
components ( I am a Mechanical Engineer not Electrical so this stuff is
sometime Greek to me). Also does anyone know where to get the male connector
for the ALDL or what can be substituted?

playing with the 327 TPI Project have figured out the problems with the chip
working on and off (turned out the solder joints where bad and would only
show up when the EPROM was pressed a specific way). My Scan Tool only tells
what BLM Cell I am using not what is in the Cell so I want to try some of
this free scan tool software that tells me these readings before I go invest
in Diacom or something like that (want to get the feet wet before I jump in
head first).

work I should have used the other one. I would also like to build one rather
than buy one just for the schmaltz factor and learn something new :)
