VEC 200 S1 programming interface to USB

[Barula]

Hi Community, do you know if the S1 programing interface of the VEC controllers (PI-800) can be connected to a PC with a direct cabling of a usb connector? or only with the official GM cable available for purchase in their site?

best regards,

Hi andto the forum.

The USB plug on the GM USB programming cable contains an integrated circuit board populated with components that interfaces the standard USB signals with the controller's programmable chip.



Therefore, you cannot simply connect the four leads from a standard USB cable directly to the controller's programming port as this will not work.

Thanks Alan, please help me with a follow up question, I want to show metrics from the controller/engine in a control display, is there any way to get data like temp, rpm and power draw from the controller?

The GM EZoutboard motors have a Bluetooth App for both iOS and Android which allows various information to be displayed:



I presume there must be a Bluetooth dongle available that would plug into the controller's Programming port, similar to the one used for the GM hubmotors with the latest Vector controllers:



Perhaps an email to GM in China (sales@goldenmotor.com) or a question via LiveChat on their website would give you the information you require.
