Please can anyone recognise which EAS thing I have?

Hi All,
Putting a few essential tools to take with me on holiday and dug out the EAS diagnostic tool but no paper workand the laptop it was connected to has died
thanks in advance.
Well that is simply a OBD plug and calble.Could be anything.The place for the free EAS software is RSW solutions .Welcome to RSW Solutions

As Above.....
You could try opening the two connectors and following the wiring - and check it against the RSW site - that way you'll know if it is correctly configured for use with the EASUnlock software from the legend that is Storey Wilson....

Just to help my understanding. Are the voltages dropped before they reach the ODBII socket or is it OK to have 12V hitting a serial port?

OBDII is just a diagnostic connection - the communication is just at diagnostic line level usually +5V

That answers that one.
So, are the various modules that my Nanocom interrogates on separate pins or does the handshake initiation wake up the diagnostic module required?

I believe each ECU's diagnostic 'data bus' is wired to seperate pins in the Socket.....

Thanks, that is interesting.
So something like an Arduino-Uno or a Raspberry Pi could theoretically monitor a number of the outputs simultaneously? Of course, translating the raw data to anything useful would be a project too far.

In theory, thats all the RSW All Comms does.....but you need to get the correct 'Handshake', protocol and baud to get the ECU to tell you anything as you will have to ask it the right question to get it to respond....
I am not a software engineer so that is pretty much all I know....but that is how The Legend that is Storey Wilson used....he just kept trying and trying until he gor the ECU to respond....that man is a fecking genius...

Well, there is an advantage now in that the gizmos do exist so it should be possible to put a breakout box in and see what traffic flows to and from existing diagnostic boxes.
Not very ethical and there's no advantage to someone who has a diagnostics box already, fascinating nonetheless.

There is no "traffic" at the OBD socket, it requires a wake code to initiate comms and each ECU is different and on a different pin.

The standard voltage for RS232 used to be +/-15 volts, now +/- 5 to 12 volts is used.

So Pin(x) is addressed by the diagnostic device AND it shouts "Oi Wabco, I want a word with you!".
Why wouldn't the serial listener attached to the break-out box detect that?

It would, or might, the data stream is not strictly RS232. Then you would need to crack the code. You would need to monitor data in both directions and it uses K-line transmit receive so there are all the timing considerations

I won't be wasting my time looking at Youtube, I know how the stuff works, I have the full diagnostics kit and I have better things to waste my time on

I know that. I am slowly working on you to redesign the whole flippin' system using things like Arduinos so that these things' lives are extended by another decade or two.
You know that you can do it. It's just a question of whether you want to.

You come and finish the renovation on my old water mill and I'll think about it, at my age I only have a limited time to do all that needs to be done

Anyway, you should have asked at the beginning of the summer.
Well thanks for all the replies, I think I understood some of it. Anyway manged to download the EAS software (http://www.rswsolutions.com/) which looks family with what I used previously. Would have checked it on the car but no serial port on this laptop and can not get the usb to serial cable to work.Will try and buy one whlst away. i probably could have researched futher myself but getting ready to go away always seemsso busy and slightlyworried as have a fair amount of travelling to do and it did let me down last time and had ALT fault on message centre yesterday........But I have charged up the battery since.
Just got to assume good to go.
Cheers Guys.
