snow05gtRI Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 fixed it I think. I just left the cable plugged in while I went to Windows Update online and it downloaded and installed the driver when i was doing a bunch of security packages....reboot the computer with cable plugged in and when I logged back in it automatically installed the drivers and I think it is in working order....havent had a chance to use it but i'm not unplugging it until I can heh (i'm able to get to properties like baud rate and such and I couldn't before) odd...I even let it install the drivers FROM windows update through the hardware wizard and that wouldnt work. hope this is set..

qikslvr Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Cool. Once it finally takes the driver; it usually sticks. It helps to plug the cable into the same USB Port every time too. That way the cable is assigned the same COM Port# everytime also. Good luck and let us know how it's going. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 did you get an email with a tracking number? it took about two or three days for them to send me a tracking number and then it was a week for delivery. got the regular shipping, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 the baud rate on the laptop i'm using maxes out at 4096. the logger works until i start the car, then it freezes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think SSM runs at 4800 baud. Are you sure about that 4096 limit? Even 4800 is ridiculously slow by PC standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 yeah how old is that laptop? old enough to not be USB2.0? if it was made before the year 2000 then it is very possible, if it is made during the year 2000 it is possible but not as likely....and if it is post 2000 it should be usb 2.0. try reinstalling the driver?

mattg Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 yeah it's an old laptop. it doesn't have any high speed USB ports, and yes the baud rate only goes up to 4096. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Let me think about this for a minute and I'll post what I come up with shortly. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks When I go into the com port settings, the top pull down bar is bits per second, and it's defaulted to 9600. I changed that setting to 4800 and it still didn't work (must be a coincident with the baud rate numbers?) That was after I clicked advanced and checked the baud rate, which like I said maxes at 4096. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Just a thought. Try 2400 BAUD setting. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALT+PrintScreen should capture the window, then paste it in to mspaint and attach it to a post here. On use photobucket if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierothing Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It appears autonostics is sold out of this item (according to their site). This may be why some of you are having issues with receiving your cable? Well apparently this is a Hong Kong item, cause they're all over eBay. I found this guy selling them from the USA, states 2-5 days shipping from MA. I'm gonna give it a shot and order one. Heres the link if anyone's interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270294322167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon in CT Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 yeah it's an old laptop. it doesn't have any high speed USB ports, and yes the baud rate only goes up to 4096.What operating system? EcuFlash requires Windows XP or Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSFW Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think baud rates were up to around 14,4000 when laptops were invented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 if you have a computer that's new enough to have windows XP it should be able to go to whatever baud rate you need. it HAS to have usb2.0 i dont see how it couldnt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it to 2432 send and receive and it didn't work. well it worked when the ignition was on, but not after I start the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 it should be coming up under "Ports (COM & LTP)" , not adjusting the settings under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers. Is that first picture (USB Serial Port (COM4) Properties) from under the USB Controllers? try reinstalling the drivers, doesn't seem like they took properly. when you plug the cable in, go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove hardware and it should search for new devices. If nothing comes up, try uninstalling whatever new came up when the cable was installed. Before that, you could also try opening the folder that you extracted the zip files with the drivers in to. There should be an i386.inf or something like that. Right click on it and hit install, see what happens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 that is from Ports (COM & LTP) it doesn't show COM 4 under device manager because the cable was unplugged when I took the screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That giant list that you have open in the second screen shot isn't baud rate, it looks like it's the packet size that USB transmissions are sliced into. A smaller value is probably good, like 500 or so. What's the smallest value it will let you choose? The first screen shot shows a dialog box with "9600" in the "bits per second" field. That is the baud rate. Baud and bits per second are two words for the same thing (technically they're not necessarily identical, but the terms are used interchangeably). It probably doesn't matter what you set that to, since RomRaider / EcuFlash will decide what rate they want when the open the serial port, but go with 4800.

NSFW Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Do you have the latest version of RomRaider? http://www.romraider.com/forum/topic3841.html The logger used to freeze up for me as well, but Kascade fixed something and it works fine for me with that version.

fishbone Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 mattg, try changing it from 9600 in the Bits per second window to 2400. That's essentially the communication speed. Leave the receive/transmit alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 will do tonight. I also DL'd the latest RR from the link NSFW provided above. thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
