My old laptop completely crashed. I was using Evoscan .99 I think. Never had any problems with it.

I bought a new laptop and bought the new 2.6 beta 19 version. It won't connect. It gets to the "link engaged" and immediately disconnects with a error: can't connect to com port 1.

So I downloaded version 2.5 and get the same thing. I also downloaded Mitsulogger v1.6 beta 3 and that seems to work fine. I'd rather use Evoscan as I'm more comfortable with it.

Any help as to why I'm getting this error would be appreciated. Thanks

 

I'm having problems too with a new netbook.

 

what OS and what usb to serial converter?

 

Are you trying to log an external wideband? The only time I get that error is when my laptop changes the comport on my wideband from whatever it used the last time it was hooked up. Evoscan tries to use the old comport. Basically I have to select the comport everytime I use evoscan (unless I plug the cable into the same usb port as last time).

 

Yes thats what I have too... a new HP netbook running XP. I'm using a radioshack usb to serial adapter. The drivers for it are up to date. My AEM wideband always logs on com port
4. It never changes. And i'm also using the 1.3 tactrix cable. It just keeps saying cannot connect to com port 1.

 

I use a 2 year old radio shack usb-serial converter. I've never had a problem with it? Have you checked to see that your computer is assigning comport 1 to the usb serial adapter?

 

I thought the 1.3 tactrix cable came with USB. If you need an external USB converter I believe it must use the FTDI chipset to work properly - not sure if the radioshack unit meets the requirements.

 

This is for the serial connection out of the Aem Uego. Not a tactrix cable.

FWIW, OP, I just upgraded to 2.6 and couldn't get my Uego to work either. It would connect, but wouldn't log the wideband. It would just pick a value and freeze. I had to go back to 2.5.

 

I can't even connect for 2 seconds on 2.5 or 2.6. Com port 4 is being used for the radio shack usb to serial adapter for the wideband. I don't know if the 1.3 tactrix is being used on port 1 or whats going on.

 

There was an issue found with wideband logging from UEGO ... upgrade to v2.7 Beta2

 

COM Port 1 is usually reserved for serial ports with a physical port present on the notebook i.e. not a virtual COM Port as used by EvoScan. I'm guessing your drivers aren't installed correctly. Visit http://www.limitless.co.nz/evoscan/ and look about 80% of the way down the page (just above the pics of the OBDII port & EvoScan plug) for more info.
