Help needed with evoscan!

[shaun1978]

:speechles What settings do i use for connecting to my leggy, ie baud rate etc. ive been trying to connect but it comes up with this -

Info: Initialization Complete...
Info: Waiting for INIT Response...
Info: ECU ID: 00FE
Info: Connection successful...
Error: Unable to open COM1
The system cannot find the file specified
Info: Datalogger Ended.

It then just kicks me off.....

It shouldn't be looking for com1 it should be looking for the USB port if you have got the cable i have.

alos have you gounded pin 1 on the diagnostic port as evoscan will not work unless you do that.

Hope this helps

yeah i have grounded pin 1 , i have selected usb as well , just seems to keep saying connected every 5 secs also

i used to get connection failed message comming up all the time but that was because i had not installed the usb drivers correctly. wich ones did you use and what OS are you trying to run it on. you shouldn't have a problem if it is XP but Win98 is a sod to get the drivers working.

there is a very good thread on here which has all this info in. you should get it be searching on "evoscan"

i used the drivers i got with ecuflash , and am using xp , i'vr tried searching but i dont seem to be able to work it out

[Davezj]

i dowloaded some drivers from microsoft site as the ones that came with it didn't work for me but others had no problems.

ok here is the thread

read my post 67 this has the name of the drive and a bit of info.

should be dead easy with this driver.

I may have found the answer.... i think as the lead is emulating a serial port , it needs to be set to com1 , ive done this will try it again in the morning.
