Hi all - esp Guilt toy , I need to connect a Tech edge WB3A2 to my Datalogit so that it can log AFR as well as the usual things .

Guilt Toy , since you have (had anyway) a 3A2 and a Datalogit , do I connect the WB+ (4th from the LHS of the Y5 10 hole connector) to AN1 on the Datalogit and WB- to AN2 ?

From what I can tell the WB+ means WB lin+ and the WB lin- is it's ground return .

I printed out TE's info on the WB3A2 and it shows the default linear voltage scale as 0-5v - 9-19:1 AFR .

Once the figures are set in the Datalogit logging page and Delta AN1-AN2 selected it should all work ?

Cheers and thanks , A .

In time I'd like to be able log purely from the Tech Edge and I suppose to do so means tapping into the sensor wires near the EMS's ECU plug .

The reason being that it's simpler/easier to leave out the lap top and not everything is going to have a PFC/Datalogit .

Hey mate you got it right. You connect AN1 to wb+ and an2 to wb-

Then you need to pull your tech edge box appart, and take off the jumper 4.

Look here, and follow instuctions for the subject "WBlin Ground Jumper [J4]"

WBlin Ground Jumper [J4]

This shunt controls the WBlin+ output's reference input (WBlin-). This topic is discussed here. It is important to note that incorrectly setting this jumper can result in either:

Excessive WBlin+ noise (mostly heater switching transients at 30 Hz) on WBlin+ (with shunt installed = ON when it should be OFF and WBlin- goes to the input amp's GND).

floating WBlin+ output that can exceed 5 Volts or go below 0 Volts (shunt is OFF when WBlin- is left floating).

Note that the effect of the J4 shunt can be reproduced by wiring WBlin- & GND together with a short piece of wire. This obviates opening the case to access J4

---------------------------

Ok so removing jumper J4 the bridge is removed between WB lin- and the ground pin and this makes the Tech Edge ground through the Dataligit via AN2 .

One more silly one , is there any special wire needed or basically any suitably sized insulated automotive type wire ?

Cheers A .

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
