Parts I have include... BUt Not limited to

All sorts of resisters and transistors

Spare usb cable

I just need the electrical schematics to put it all together. I do not have serial ports on my computer, but i do have a serial/usb converter thingy coming in the mail. But i would really like to just build it all myself to plug right into my usb port

Anybody have some links or anything?1?! I used the search of course but did not find anything on the usb schematics.

Live data can be collected with obd1 correct?
I can only collect data and not program correct?

TIA!

Everything I've read is only for Serial ports, not USB ports. Do you have a Serial cable? Have you tried a USB-Serial port adapter?

Once you price out what it cost you to build a usb cable it's cheaper to just get an usb to serial adaptor.

Unless your building something special.

USB can't be done with just a few parts.
