Update: I got the CoilX installed and it still was not reading a signal. After using the scope, it seems is that it was dropping the signal at D2 diode. I tried to jumper it out, and it works! It is a little noisy from what I was looking at, it would be idling at 1200RPM then jump to 4800RPM and com...

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I think I'm going to try a CoilX and see if that will work (press the easy button!).
One question, can I have a 5V output from my RCP mk1 to power this or will I need to separate off another 12V hot and drop to 5V?

Trouble with tach signal

I tried to do a ton of research and looking around before asking for help, but now I am stumped. I have an RCP mk1 in a Honda CRX. There was an aftermarket tach that was installed in the car previous to when I got it. I tapped in to its signal line and plugged it directly in my pulse ports. I got re...

I did some more thinking and playing around to see if I could make something happen. I tried to delete the driver for the bootloader and plug the device back in. When I do that, it goes directly to the bootloader driver. So it does seem that it is stuck in that mode. However, it still will not flash...

It shows the bootloader driver when RCP is plugged in, and only the two lights are on. Maybe it is stuck in bootloader mode? The firmware update does not work. For some reason the cmd flashes and disappears during the error. For the split second, I can see it says "unknown" and/or "dr...

Ryan, there has been progress!! I did as you suggested and looked for the latest video drivers. I also happened to look through the changelog and noticed lots of OpenGL compatibility changes/fixes. Now, the app works on my laptop. On to the bad news, there is no COM devices listed when the unit is p...

Sorry it has taken so long to respond, I have been super busy lately. It does not seem to reconginze the device when it is plugged in. Here is a screenshot of my device manager with the unit plugged in. As mentioned, I think the bootloader driver installed correctly, but the regular driver does not....

I am not sure who or where to put this, but I think I have the grand slam going on right now. I bought an Mk1 a long time ago, just after the kickstarter campaign. I messed around with it and got it set-up to at least collect some data. I've been using the csv file to look in excel, and it is has be...
