Hi putput and thanks for your thorough answer!
After powering off and on the module I did find a car-radio HID device in the HID list.
(I have only black and red connected to +12V. There is also orange blue and purple unconnected and a white wire loop. I've lost my wiring diagram and cannot download it from XTronic. Its gone from their site. But since I now can see the HID device I think I'm alright)
Problem remains.
I use WinXP pro, sp2.
The version I've downloaded from your site is (from readme file)
"CPCTuner"
"Version 0.1"
"Build 36, 14-12-2006"
(I will try more versions, obviously)
My thought was if there might be a conflict between other USB devices. Have you had people reporting such? I have quite a few.
1) DVD,
2) BT,
3) touchscreen,
4) OBDII port,
5) Creative soundcard,
6) a GPS receiver
7) the radio and
8) a Huawei E220 3G modem (which I specifically have had problems with)
From the pic, the BT devices are broadcom, the "hid compliant device" is standard system device, and the "hid compliant consumer control device" is microsoft. They all are "working".
Come to think of it I should off-cause disconnect everything but the radio...
Well, thanks to you Putput I've got a few things to try out still! I'll mail again if I get stuck.
Cheers, B-O
Hi putput
I have a little report.
It did not matter if I had only the HQCT connected to USB.
But the different software behaved differently. Maybe you are right that this is because I've got an (untested) HQCT-e module?
The RRHQCT original ver 2.0 - WORKING (I think)
CPCTuner 1.0.36
CPCTuner 1.0.41 does not start at all
CPCTuner 1.0.42 (splash says 41...)
CPCTuner 1.0.43 is the same
CPCTuner 1.1.1.50
Hello bes51659,
Great testing I must say. Strange that none of the versions detect the module connected. Because as I explained earlier, the older versions do not test for a specific HQCT device, any HQCT device will do. (Apparently not :-( )
But don't panic, download this little cmd line program and it will create a log file (use the latest build) in a .\Log folder. It’s called CPCLogdriver but it isn't a real driver, it’s just a small multi-threaded program that captures logging messages and writes these messages into a text file. Start CPCLogdriver first (double click on the .exe file), then start CPCTuner and you should see some messages in the command line screen. Now wait until the error messages pops up, click ok and that's it. Now close the log tool by pressing CTRL-C (when it has focus) or simply close the window. You should now see a newly created folder with a file inside, something like '20071121Log.dat'. Send this file to me via email (check my website for my email address) and I will have a look at it.
Again thank you very much for all your efforts, hopefully I can find a solution for you soon.
Regards,
Putput
Hello bes51659,
Could you please download the latest CPCTuner build again and check if there are any changes? I did some testing and discovered that there is still something wrong with the RR communications but it should work for your HQCT-e as a standalone app. I found a bug that was the probable cause for your connection troubles.
CU,
Putput
Hi P
I am just about to go to bed, but I had to test the new latest first. Same but different :-) I will have a better look tomorrow.
Cheers
hi all and first of all thank you all for the great work !!!
I think I found a problem with the HQCT-eA and the dll. Whenever I shut down my computer into hibernation and than recover from this, it reports that it can not connect to the device.
So what I need to do right now is shut down the program before I put my carputer into hibernation, is this normal procedure of maybe a bug?
greetings,
PsyCorps
I've posted a message for you P
From what I understand CPCTuner does find the HQCT but for some reason the protocol is incompatible?
cheers, B-O
Ps. You've got nothing to thank me for.
Updated the latest build again, please give it another try. It works on my car-pc system with both -i and -eA versions. I'm sure now that the bug is related to a timing problem in the connection phase. What happens is that the communications thread is trying to find the module while the HQCT component thread is waiting for the comm thread to finish or to fail. To prevent an endless loop the main thread stops listening after a while and decides that the communication has failed and kills all active threads and exits the program. This timing was too critical, (I think). What hardware are you using? (Just fast, as in dual processor, or slow, as in VIA ITX will do as an answer)
About the thanks; it's positive to know that people use my software and want to help to make it better program. I just appreciate your help (and the fact that you use CPCTuner)
CU,
Putput
Well I am really greatfull for all the hard work that people put into projects making all these nice hardware things work like a charm
I am using a SP13000 for carputer, and I will try to update the program tomorrow, maybe its allready fixed!
again, thank you!
Hi Psy,Originally Posted by PsyCorps
Thanks for the credit, I'm doing the best I can
I just uploaded a new version of the DLL with eA support. Before anything else, make a copy of the DLL that you are using right now and of the ini file. Then copy the new DLL into the correct folder and start the program. Give it a try, this version should be able to handle hibernation. Be carefull, very beta ...
Just a question, are you writing your own software? If so you can download a description of the new functions in this DLL here.

Putput
