Trouble launching Freescan

[jkorvette]

I have downloaded Freescan to my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop and purchased diagnostic cables from Sanjaya but Freescan is unresponsive when connected to my 89 Esprit Turbo.

No matter what settings, COM1, COM2, mS delay 1, 50, 100, key to on, engine running...Freescan will not launch/communicate.

My laptop has Windows 10, is that the problem? I saw another newer software version on Lotus Talk, should I try that?

Would really like to work with Freescan or something similar. Any advice? Thank you

Give Espritmon a try

It may well be the Com port issue. You might also try using the ALDL connection under the dashboard and see if that will let you connect instead.

Probably, think it was written for Windows 95

By the looks of it you're also using a serial to USB converter. Those are known to be troublesome. Apparently I'm very lucky my cheap one works with Freescan and Espritmon, but I did have trouble with MegaSquirt. Tried another type and everything was fine.

This is mine from earlier. Com4 and 100 MS.
