Does someone, anyone have orginal datalogit software on this planet?

[rc1honda]

OK a bit of a rant here and any help will be greatly appreciated. I bought a datalogit from this forum and im having a hell of a time trying to get it to actually interface with my computer. I have a dyno day coming up in the 29th so i am in a bit of a hurry.

Also in my fustration i spent another 200 on the FC commander pro direct from apex-i only to find out it doesn't interface with my FC. Apexi knowingly sold me this and to their credit are going to make it right and send me a refund. So i am stuck with the datalogit

I paid my 20 bucks to join the yahoo group and they are pretty much ignoring me. I have paid 200 for the datalogit and 20 to the support group and no help from them yet. I have downloaded the FC edit from the RX7 forums to no avail. Everytime i try to connect to the datalogit it says "cannot connect to interface".

Com ports are right and the serial to USB converter is the exact same one they sell with the datlogit.

So i have come to the conclusion that you need the Orginal FC edit software that comes on the disc with the datalogit. The updated versions don't work with out the OG disc files.

If anyone has this software or the disc I will freaking pay you for it. I am 2 days away from buying a haltech and dont wanna drop another 1,500. I am very fustrated at the lack of support the Power FC and datalogit have and yes i know they are separate entities. I will never recommend another FC to anyone to use as a EMS again for as long as i live at this point. After paying for the Power FC, datalogit, commander pro softare, 2 USB to serial adapters, and 20 dollars to join a yahoo group i am at my wits end.

Any EMS worth it salt has support for these scenarios, and most let you download the software for free right from their website no less. So far the FC has pretty much proven to me it's a obsolete EMS and i don't understand why anyone on any forum would recommend it presently as a acceptable alternative in the tuning world to other EMS's. Buy a power FC BNIB and have no way to connect to a lap top or viable softare without paying another 200 to a 3rd party and even then it a crapshoot. And the commander is a poor excuse for a tuning tool, poor resolution and extremely limited tuning potential, and resources.

C/N: If you have orginal datalogit softare I ill pay u for it preferably the disc.
And if you have the Beige box is even better.

So Zilvia i beg you it appears you are my only hope.

A. it pays to shoot steve some cash to walk you through consulting on setting up your EMS/ PFC for the first time!!!!!
B. SCREW the Apexi software fc data logit is better
C. Yes I can help you out....but I will want some lunch money I know, I'm a bitch but it's been dry around here lately...got a zip file for you
D. Base map+ Software? How good is your tuner? does he know how to write a good timing map for you setup? most don't might be worth the package.
E. A lot of the links have been nuked for the software now...but I think there is still one or two left...Did you get hacked hardware? It should have come with it? Does your tuner have box but no softwar? that's ghetto too


There is a universal FC Data logit software that will work with any PFC period...that's what I use at the workshop and when building base maps for peopl at my home workbench

Steve I'm getting sick of your post that are just sorry excuses to advertise your tuning. I hope the moderators ban you soon.

Hi,
Do you still have FC Commander Pro cable and the software?
What about Datalogit? What problems do you have exactly?
What car do you have and Apexi PFC model?
PM me or email, I may have a good solution or help for you.

I've had this issue with my S15 PFC...for some reason, my shit hates FC Dataloggits. I've tried 2 different units (black and beige). Updated software, wont interface for shit. But my tuner who uses a real Apexi Excel doesnt seem to have any issue with it. I've had 2 people tune my shit and it has always worked for them.

I was told the FC Dataloggit are iffy on certain version PFCs. Again, I had this issue on mine and I knew somebody else out here who was running into the same issue with an RB26 PFC.

If there is any problem with datalogit our box fc-hako on FC-HAKO Apexi Power FC tuning hardware (http://www.fc-hako.com) will solve the issue because it can work with FC-Pro Japanese and US as with FC-Edit and Co-Pilot, FC-Tune.

You can preview FC-Pro somewhere, Google for it.

Ok im glad this thread was bumped. I figured out the solution after hours of research.

First you need a good serial to USB adapter, ebay wont work. Go belkin or Sewell. Then in the Adapter settings that you change from the control panel you have to turn Xom/Xo to off. Then change the bits to 126,000 or something to that effect. And turn Bias/Dios off. Make sure your on the correct com port and it should connect.

Then restart your computer with the adapter plugged in and it should read the dataloggit. Now this is after i got the software from the yahoo groups. I finally got a invite.

i had an issue using a belkin usb to serial adaptor it just wouldnt work..went to frys and bougt a micro connectors e07-162 for about 20 bucks and it worked like a charm but the belkin kept freezing and crashing the fc edit software
