I am having the same SCMG Fan = On all the time?
The Powerlogger reads correct fan cycling.
Also the Bluetooth shows up as 2 separate com ports an in & out?
HC-06 shows up in device menu, Do I need to change the drivers there?

You can manually change the port to whatever you want, unless a device prohibits access to the Windows driver settings. The HC-06(slave only) will typically produce two separate ports in device manager, of which the first one is almost always the port to use.

To manually change the port it is using:

Control Panel -> Devices and Printers -> Right-Click "HC-06" -> Properties -> Hardware -> Dub-Click Port -> Change Settings -> Port Settings -> Advanced .

From there you can manually change the port to whatever you like. Depending on the chipset of the BT module, you can even scour the registry and force it to the port you want. That's what I did for my "Appalachian Lectronic Thang". FDI drivers are a real PITA until you get used to them. BT comms is a whole different animal compared to assembly and C and can seriously chew up development hours.

I will try a couple things this weekend.
When I go into devices I see the HC-06 next to it is Power logger since it is connected thru USB COM3.
What driver should I try and force USB? or power logger?
Would it be the same drivers that are used for the Power Logger COM3 USB?
Thanks, Mike

Nope. I'm just a tinkerer and leave the real work to the pro's who actually know what they are doing. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the announcement of the "G". As you can see I was fumbling around with a similar concept.

Looking forward to getting my SMG! Great work Dave and crew on getting this much needed device to market!

Got mine in the mail last week, hooked it up and it works great! Ill get a video for you guys ASAP. One of the best tools I've ever used! Thanks for the innovations!

You figure this out? Got same problem. My HTC phone and DELL laptop w Windows XP pairs fine but not connected. No data transferring. The gauge data and powerlogger data looks fine. Just cant get bluetooth streaming working.

 

[STF420@comcast.]

Not yet still working on it.

Thanks, Mike

I was out testing my new turbo today and noticed my Scanmaster g showed it was recording but wouldn't recall the lowest millivolts or the highest knock

 

[DarthBuick]

I got my ALDL Droid set up today. It has more pages than this but this is my phone so screen is small.

 

[larrym]

What was the process you used to get it to connect? Helping a buddy with his it paired with the scan master but it's getting a error code on the tablet in aldldroid like it's timed out when you press connect.

 

[DarthBuick]

Does he have the proper ADX file in the right place

 

[larrym]

We downloaded the ADX off Bob's site and saved it in ALDLdroid folder highlighted it and end up with the same display you posted it just won't connect. I'm an apple guy so android navigation took a little while. Are we missing a setting on the tablet?

 

[DarthBuick]

Do you see ho6 or Scanmaster on device connection.

 

[larrym]

Yes Hc-6 the tablet connects to the device just can't pick up the data stream. What ADX are you using?

 

[DarthBuick]

He may need to have it reflashed. Mine showed up as ho6 and it would time out and Bob reflashed it and now it shows as Scanmaster.

 

[larrym]

Thank you did you send it to him for this or was it done remotely?

 

[DarthBuick]

Sent it to him. It was done quickly

 

[TurboBob]

I can update it if you send it to me. What I am working on is the remote update process.

Bob, can the scanmaster communicate with an iPad via Bluetooth?
