VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[bibkare]

Hello ,
I have a vag 11.11.3 clone it is with FTDI 232 RL chip... and i try to resoft it , i used some programmer to resoft the ATmega 162 and it works to resoft , but the LED is not flashing at all and the interface doesn't work. It has no GAL chip . So please can you help me ? i will attach some picture with my interface ?Attachment 209155Attachment 209156

Hmm, i've seen a lot of interfaces like this one lately. Unfortunately they are total c.r.a.p. First you need to check voltage regulator 7805 and if it's OK you will have to reflash atmega again with another dump (probably special chinese dump) because LED is controlled by atmega. Honestly i think it's a waist of time, get another interface based on ft232bl.

What regulator? That interface haven't voltage regulator, all 5V are from USB.

hi , and thanks for advice ...but like "liviudiaconu" said it has no 7805 regulator . So do you have some other advice ? thanks in advanced .

[liviudiaconu]

Plug to +12V, plug usb cable, make sure programmer GND is connected to interface GND, programm Atmega with proper dump.
Make sure you have VID 0403 PID Fa24.
Use proper soft.
At the end of programming atmega the led must start lighting, first red after green.

Thanks liviudiaconu you're right it doesn't have, i was speaking without thinking, force of habit i guess "if LED doesn't work automatically check 7805". Funny tough i have one interface like that here on my table and i soldered 7805 on it maybe that's what confused me. Anyway sorry for distraction.

[bounce24]

ok thanks for this advice . Actually I used the 11.11.0 dump ...maybe this is the problem . I think the the + 12 V and GND i put ok . Do you know where i can find the 11.11.3 dump ? can you send me a link ? Thank You very much !

If you solder 7805 you must cut a "copper track" or "copper line" between +5V USB and +5V Atmega and other. If you think logical, you'll find.

hello friends I have to recover a multilengage PCB, it runs in french with latest version 11.11.5 11.11.6 and in English.
that PCBs are a team atmel chip 162 gal 16V8 and FT232RL mcp 2515
my question would be recovered dumps for this PCB to dump

is there a risk to the pcb and how to thank you20130717_063250.jpg20130717_063544.jpg

[liviudiaconu]

The interface don't work? Is recognized as VID 0403 PID FA24?
If Yes, must reflash atmega with proper dump and use proper soft.

I did it just for testing, without plug in USB cable into PC. This interface is for spare parts, it has 1AM transistors which are better than J3Y

i recieve VCDS clone 12.10.3, i installed software but when i go to device manager to select driver from folder where i installed VCDS software, there no driver is found, what should i do?

Atmega is under a glue, it is right for 99%. You remove glue on the left side of a chip (look figure 2 and 3). When you will see contacts, check connections:
pin1(Atmega) - pin14(MCP2515)
pin2(Atmega) - pin15(MCP2515)
pin3(Atmega) - pin13(MCP2515).
The reference mark is the left top corner of a chip. Counting is conducted counterclockwise. If these connections are present, it atmega. Connect contacts with a programmator so:
pin13(MCP2515) - SCK
pin14(MCP2515) - MOSI
pin15(MCP2515) - MISO
pin4(Atmega) - Reset
Contacts of GND and +5 volts (if it is necessary) attach to L7805CV.


G T R V is contacts for IC8 programming (chip-protect) look figure 1.

Here it is your connections:

Mates my advise is that when you want to spend money ( chep price especially ) on a chip cracp tool be carfull
That tool without GAL can works just with its softwear and I suppose that it was shared in this thread or in other one ( I don't know which one ) the dump for VCDS 12.10.3 which ( the psoter said ) it works with this kind of tools
I suppose that dumps we all all and all the other that just one of us know item dose't works with this tool
So when you buy a new tool be sure that this one it has Atmega ( first of all - if it has NEC do not buy it ) then be sure f it has GAL ( very important to be able to use all the functions that VCDS has ) and in the last take care to be with FTDI BL/BM ( if it has FTDI RL it is not such a problem abut take care that it has Atnega + GAL +FTDI )
Then you cna buy it
And the most important think when you buy a chinese clone it is that before you install the softwear do not have any internet connection and after installation of VCDS remove forever your internet connection.\This is if you like to have a good working tool in the futhure. Otherwise the tool it will be erased if you have any internet connection no matter when you use it
Good luck

i have atmega + gal16v8b and ftdi is that ok clone? but anyway i must reflash atmega and i am asking u guys if this programmer will do this job PIC K150 ICSP Programmer USB Automatic Programming Develop Microcontroller + USB ICSP cable-in Other Electronic Components from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com
