[Ovmsdev] OBDII ECU Documentation, and a request for help

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Regarding the HUD cable, I have asked the suppliers for this, according to the following specification:

OVMS 3 HUD expansion cable:

Pinout: “HUD"

J1962-F   DA26-M  Signal
4         8       Chassis/Power GND
5         8       Chassis/Power GND
6         16      CAN-H (primary CAN)
14        6       CAN-L (primary CAN)
16        18      +12V Vehicle Power

Notes:
Require 120ohm resistor between DA26 pins 16 and 6 (this can be either at J1962 or DA26 ends).
J1962 pins 4 and 5 are both connected to single DA26 pin 8.
J1962 end should be FEMALE plug with straight cable. DA26 end should be MALE.
Both ends should be enclosed in shells, and cable should be 15cm in length.



I think that is correct. If there are any changes, please let me know.

Regards, Mark.
