Cheap premade datalogging cable

[MegaSuiter]

My maf recently went out and was looking around for a replacement when I remembered I have a maft and a gm maf. I thought I might as well install it and get rid of the 1g maf. I need a datalogging cable. So I went looking across the internet for the cheapest cable.

I was going to use it with a usb-usb connector to another usb cable to connect to my phone or computer or whatever. This seems cheap and I like cheap! For some reason it doesn't seem like it would work and would maybe somehow fry my phone. Anyone have any input on the cable? I mean why mess around with making one if you can get them for like $4, right?

Maybe a name brand rather than ebay.

Keyspan is the only way to go.

also, that isn't a logger cable.. you'll need to fab or purchase one of those as well

I have seen on other forum's people buying just the serial adapter and using it for logging.

Not with an OBD1 DSM ecu. Where are you thinking you would plug that cable in?

I have to agree. I remember somewhere when reading up on Keyspan is that they read a much faster rate than most converters which is necessary for a logger.

No...I understand now. The keyspan takes a power source i think such as a laptop. I mean It looks that easy, but from what other people say it just won't power on the palm, etc. Dumb question on my end.

Made a cable. Running it to a db9 to usb to micro usb. So I can run tmolog on my droid now
