Word of warning, u can corrupt the dash config if you send it silly things or apply it to vz clusters.
hey mate, every time I have downloaded it and tried to use it, it keeps saying requested baud 8192 , achieved baud 0.
Any tips on how to get around this ?
Cheers

I've got the same problem.

I've edited the config file to select the com port - but still get this error.

Did you ever find a solution?

i think from memory it always says that.

have you tried to do read of the general cluster info?

also what cables are you guys using? not all of them work. i happened to get lucky with the one i had years ago.

Envyous customs.
You cant get past that window, and then it just stays a continuous loop until you close the service by task manager.

I'm using an ALDL cable purchased from here a long time ago.

Might have to put together a MAX232 cable, there's a post here stating that's all they could get working:

"File > Get Instrument Details" is greyed out.
I've got AAPL level access using cheat engine. Most of the other features either timeout or don't do anything.

I'm wondering if it's something to do with some errors I was previously getting about missing files:

- COMCTL32.OCX
- COMDLG32.OCX
- MSCOMM32.OCX

I found them online and placed them in the same folder. But maybe they need to be installed somehow? (I'm really not an expert here).

I might setup a virtual machine and play around until I break something in there

I ended up getting it working in an XP virtual machine.
Can confirm the 8192 baud error at startup is normal - it works fine despite this. But most of the software works, and I've confirmed the data is being sent / received using an oscilloscope. There are a lot of bugs in the software though (eg. when trying to load one of the data tables I get an index out of bound error and the software crashes).

Can't make it work in windows 10 though. It does seem to half work - I can see a BCM enable chatter command being sent periodically when in one of the menus (which is the same behavior as in the XP VM). However whenever I try to actually do anything in the menu, it just does nothing - no data actually transmitted. Where as on the XP VM there's data being sent in between the enable chatter commands when you do something, and the software works.

And yes it is sending an enable chatter command - not a disable. Maybe another bug in the software? or maybe its trying to see the clusters response to the BCM message? who knows.

Also had to modify the cheat engine script I found somewhere years ago to get aapl access. The latest version of cheat engine I could install on XP was 6.7 which didn't seem to work with the script. In the end it was only 1 simple thing: the script contained a "nop 4" line (4x nop's). Just had to replace that line with 4 individual lines of "nop" and it worked fine in 6.7.
