Also note I have not tested the cable on a car yet either but don't see why it shouldn't work as it really shouldn't matter which programmer is used. I didn't hook up 12V externally when programming. Only thing I did differently than you was I solely used the 5V supply from the Arduino. Car with can is not here right now so I will report later on that. But that could be because the cable isnt connected to the car, 12v from bench supply only. Testing gives everything ok, except for can which is not ready. And it flashed correctly again.Ĭould this be a heat issue? The 7805 gets pretty warm to the touch after being connected to 12v for a while? Or are there capicitors on there which take a while to decharge? The LED came on again, first red then green. Only once during maybe 10 tries it detected the signature correct, but on that try it failed to verify the eeprom exactly like before.Īfter having no power what so ever on the cable for a while, because I was doing something. So I tried to reflash it with the Arduino, but no matter what it now detects the signature as 0x000000. I used the command ouldsmobile suggested after a couple of tries it detected the signature right and succesfully flashed flash and eeprom.Īfter that i tried to use EEwritelang, but it gave an error halfway through.

If yours doesn't you could do as Mortuus did and install your own connector. Note: My vcds had the male pin header installed. I didn't hook up 12v as Mortuus shows in his pics. I powered the VCDS solely from the Arduino's 5V supply. I used male-to-female pin jumper cables from the Arduino to the VCDS cable. It's is more or less how I hooked up mine. Also, did you use external 12V? or just relied on the 5V that the Arduino board supplies - again: a photo is worth a thousand words :D It is very interesting what you've mentioned to use a Arduino board as a programmer.Ĭan you please post a photo of the connections you've made on the vcds PCB? I'm interested to see what kind cables you have used.
