Any possible way for the Powerlogger to go wireless?

[Pronto]

Just wondering if there is any way to go wireless with the Powerlogger? Getting tired of the wire on the floor all the time. Would be cool to just open the laptop and not deal with a wire.

Great question! Wireless would be awesome!

 

[TurboBuRick]

Bluetooth powerlogger? Now that would be cool!

Hmm?

Not without a hardware re-design. How many folks do you think would be willing to buy yet another powerlogger in addition to what they already have? Personally, the cable doesn't bother me at all. I run mine stealthy, under the ecm and kick plate.

work? I don't know much about this stuff but I would love to find out.

Would be slick, may take care of some of the ground issues that have popped up with the power logger.

Would also be interested in going wireless. Please post if anybody tries it.

Only problem it will stick out pretty far with that adapter. Need a 90* adapter or one of Dave's 90* cords with a gender re assignment.

none of that will work.

USB (the regular kind, that the PL uses) is a master-slave type deal. the PC is the host, the PL is the slave. That bluetooth adapter is designed to plug into a host. Plugging it into the PL will do nothing....

Getting the PL to communicate over bluetooth is possible but would take a bit of work. Its on my list of long term projects, but there are lots of things in front of it.

So, the best I can offer at this point is "someday"

I'll take someday over never.

Think this one can be set up as a master/slave.

Here's how I solved the cable issue.

It's called a right angle B, and ordered it from here: http://www.usbfirewire.com/usb_cables_a_to_b_right_angle_b_31.html

the connector sticking out is what my concern is. hitting it with a foot and such. I think what you've done greatly reduces the chance of that. I'm going to do the same.
Thank you for posting that sir!

I had the same issue as well as hitting the connector and causing the PL board to have a bad connection. I relocated the ECM to the glove box area. Actually removed the box the make room.

Resurrection.

Hey Bob, are we any closer to making this reality? Sure would be boss.

 

[TurboBob]

The solution for this is done (and it rocks)

we will be making the announcement in about a week.
