Yes, Thank you.

I assume there is an 'OK' following the 'AT ST 20' (last visible line) and is the last line ...

Interesting.

Thank you In-Tech.

Hi all,

Gampy, try using Libre Office. https://www.libreoffice.org/
It is a free alternative to Microsoft Office.

Mr. Jim Blackwood,

Would you please try this ...

Close: PcmHammer
Delete: PcmHammer.exe.Config
....It will be in the same directory that PcmHammer.exe is.
Open: PcmHammer
Select Button: Select Device
Select: Serial Port
Select: Device Type
Select: Ok

No Test button ...

Thank you.

[Gampy]

Sorry, I have no way to open that docx ...

Bah Humbug ... Gotta eat them words!
I didn't try WordPad 6.1 (Win7).

Sorry folks.

[Jim Blackwood]

OK tried that. Pretty much the same result. Whether I run Test or not it still says no device selected. Log attached.

Mr. Jim Blackwood,

Does PcmHammer version 011 do the same thing, or does it fully initialize??

Are you willing to work with me and try a test version or two if needed??

Thank you

OK I've got part of this figured out and that's good.
Much depends on what directory you unpack the zip file into. I put it on the desktop and it worked just fine, at least as far as detecting the device and selecting it. beyond that i still have a problem which I will get to.

So, If you attempt to put it into some directory such as C:\Program Files (x86), then it will post an error message about Admin privileges which is the clue to this problem. On the desktop it doesn't do that and it works.

Now the next problem is an old one and it's been long enough since I last got around it that I don't remember the cause:

This with 13.5V dropping to 13.2v of wet cell battery power while testing. (Motorcycle battery) and using the OBDLink LX.
Any ideas on this one?

Excellent job ...

The first issue is because PcmHammer writes to it's own directory, thus the user must have write permissions to PcmHammers directory.

On the second issue, is that Pcm responding with other tools/software??
It appears to be completely non responsive, like either a Wiring problem or bricked/damaged pcm.
Could you please attach a text file debug log ...

The voltage is fine ...

Thank you

[edit]
Not to change/confuse (or for) the current issues ... I believe you also have an Allpro device and issues?, Have you tried turning off 4x Read/Write with that Allpro?
On the Options menu uncheck: Enable 4x Communication
Albeit slow it may work with 4x disabled.
