iguidance issue w/ Roadrunner

**diggla** · 11-23-2009, 07:18 PM

Changed my motherboard, did a fresh install and here is my issue.
When I run RR and click on gps Iguidance shows up with the last location but does not read and SAts. If I close RR and run iguidance it works perfectly. If I leave Iguidance running then run RR and click on GPS it works. I have un-isntalled RR and Re-installed it with no success. Any ideas

gps port in RR the same as iguidance? that would cause an issue.

whichever app connects to the gps com port that will take control and stop the other.

yes come port and baud rate are the same.

are you having rr poll the gps for any screen functions? if so I'd look into xport.
If not then set the gps in the rrconfig to 0 and then just have the port set in iGuidance

what do u mean by rr poll the gps. I have the port setting on rr set to 3 which is the port number i am using.

you cannot have 2 programs using the same com port

if your gps is on port 3 then you'll need to have iguidance set on port 3.
If you set RR to use port 3 then iguidance will not have access to port 3 since rr starts first.

does the skin you're using have any sections other than iguidance show gps information? if so then you'll need a port splitter like xport to duplicate your gps information.

you'll need a program to split the com port for the gps. I use xport which is a great program. With xport you can split the gps port so iguidance and riderunner can both use the gps with different ports.

If you don't split the ports up you will have problems using iguidance with rr.

Dude, download and install xport. Set the input to 3 then split that over 2 other ports (example 5 and 6) set Iguidance to port 5 and RR to port 6 (within RR Config) and you won't have any issues
