Hello I'm wondering if there is a recommended brand of elm327 scanner? I did a quick search and found nothing about a recommend scanner just that some of the eBay offerings are suspect. Also I'm coming from a VW/ Audi background so I'm hoping this will be as useful as the ross tech Vag com that I have.

 

Thanks for the reply! I just was looking for some direction, so any recommendation is helpful.

 

I am using the cheap ELM unit off Ebay £9 in UK probably $12to $15 US with no problems at all. I suggest at that price it worth trying.

 

Are you running the UART interface at 2Mbaud?

 

No at the moment I am running at 500K.

 

I have a clone from ebay here that accepts the following commands at 38400baud
atpp 0c sv 08
atpp 0c on
atz
power cycling does not help
but stays working at 38400 and does not change to 500k

Says that it is Rev 1.5 which does not exist as far as I know.

The
at brd 08
seems to work by the spurious burst of chars which could be at 500k.

you may have gotten one that works.

 

Yes it looks that way. I presume you are using stnterm to program your device, I can switch mine to 500kb using (at pp 0c sv 08-at pp 0c on-atz) then at new baud rate "500kb" switch back using (at pp ff off-atz) to 38kb. Try pairing the letters as I have, I know it should not matter but I find it makes a difference.
Mine runs fine at 500kb rev counter is a bit jerky not smooth but otherwise OK, best of luck and let us know how you get on.

 

I tried the split pairings earlier also but it did not work then.

 

All the windows except the drivers window will not work in my 2008 priuus.I have checked everything. What is the problem?

 

You are posting in the wrong area, post in Forums/2004-2009/care-maintenance-trouble shooting, and someone will give you advice.

 

Would priidash work with win ce?

 

Hi 2009Prius;
Remember me?
Finaly,I make priidash to work,but...when execute the control or gauge meter button to GO,both of them closes.I got an Obdlink sx,set at 2meg,really working at this speed.The issue is that the vehicle is not here,so there is no connection to vehicle.My question is ,what happens when the interface (obdlink) is not connected ?Can I do a simulation test under this circunstances?BTW,thanks for all of your help on complete my setup.
I forgot,cygwin terminal read;
Running in normal mode.
setting COM state!

 

Thanks,but what I said is that the graphics and the control goes off from the screen.The displays shuts down
and there is nothing to see,but the cygwin terminal indicates that is running and setting comm state...

 

Here is the xterm output;

I was doing some other tests,and think Iam on the same place when began.The only version of Priidash
that seems to work is the vc_20111021 version.The xterm paste is the output for this version.A "bad address"
is the response for the other versions I tried.I still a bit confuse on where to recompile the files of cgywin.
For example;devel-cmake,devel-gcc etc,etc,are folders.The contents are .rar uncomppressed files.So what to do with these .rar files?They must still there as it,or must to be extracted to what directory?Iam trying to see the whole thing as a window directory tree.Maybe this will be the reason to get a bad address when execute the priidash.Excuse my inexperience.Iam learning too much on this forum,thanks to people like you.I still do not give up.........
