Actually I think he was pleased you revived the thread as he didn't know about the software...

This software has nothing to do with Ecuflash ( I guess you meant that rather than Evoscan), though they both use the Tactrix cable. You will have to make the cable use a com port between 1 and 4 in device manager to get the ODBII scanner to work.

Any tips on how to do this? I mentioned Ecuflash because the older versions do not have the drivers that support VCPs....this is discussed on page 2 of this thread.

Here's a screen shot of Device manger, com port is accessed from the advanced section of the com port properties.

Problem with most of the OBD II soft on evo, is mitsu ODB II bus is very unstable and often a lot of link-up requests are required before bus connection can be made. If you guys are experiencing issues connecting to the bus of connecting ANY OBD software, that is due to this issue

FYI, evoscan 2.3 reads DTCs for almost everything.

I'll have to try this as ScanTech doesn't want to connect to anything but my Evo these days. I've connected to a Toyota and Subarus in the past, but recently I was not able to read from a VW or Ford not matter what I tried.

What would be awesome is if we could get all these tools onto our Windows Mobile phones (ECUFlash, Mitsulogger, etc.) so we could do all of this via our phones instead of having to lug a laptop around.

Yeah, i have a dell x51v. 624mhz xscale proc, and 64mb ram. I just dont see getting a lot of samples per second with it. I mean its slow enough opening a powerpoint or excel document on it. And for get about using gauge displays. I have a old amd 2.2ghz and 1.5gb ram and it will max out the cpu displaying a gauge cluster with afr/load/timing/mpg/etc... And conncting the tactrix cable to the pda will probably be device specific, because no usb host hardware exists on our devices. Some basic ones exists that you can buy (one will fit in my compact flash slot) but only works with usb mass storage devices. The tactrix drivers are going to have to be ported. I just dont think it would be worth it. It would be slow and suck ( but easy to cary around). I think using open port 2.0 with the microsd slot is a 100x better solution for datalogging w/o a huge laptop.

Anybody still have this? I cannot find a link. I need something that can monitor more then clear codes. I have a code scanner for that, but it does not monitor the sensors. I am using a tatrix cable 1.3 if that matters.
