I have an obdpros connector and have never been able to get it to connect to this program. I use dashcommand which sometimes takes 2 tries to connect, the first I guess does a reset, and then times out before reconnecting but always connects by the second try.
I also use the obdpros scantool, and have only been able to get it to connect when I physically disconnect the usb connection. If I use dashcommand at all, I cannot get it to reconnect.
However, I have never been able to get your program to connect. I will keep trying, but do you have any suggestions, or can I help you in any way to debug.

I suspect it might be the baud rate setting that the program defaults did you ensure that the speed was set to 9600 on the setup screen?
of course mjo151 might have additional suggestions...
Thanks

As michbound suggested, I would first verify that you are using the correct com port and baud rate. If you have these set correctly, then the following will help me debug exactly what is going on:
1) Try to connect to the device
2) Goto the Device Traffic tab on the Diag page
3) Send me a screen shot of the output (sorry the save button apparently doesn't work correctly)
Please note that you'll need the second install that I posted in order to get debug output on the Diag page.

Okay Got it to connect
Okay so I set the program to 9600 and it connected. My question is then why the other speed settings. My OBDPro connector is set at 38400, so how can I get it to connect at the faster speeds.
Also, the overall MPG seems to be accurate, but the instantaneous seems very eratic, sometimes going up over 50MPG. It starts at 19 or 20 MPG and then slowly climbs to up and over 50MPG.

Yeah instantaneos would jump around and be pretty high for short durations...

If you got it to connect at 9600 baud then your OBD device must be set to communicate at 9600 baud. The data sheet should tell you how to set it to higher baud rates, then you'll have to select that baud rate in my software.
The instantaneous MPG is just that...MPG at that instant. If you are moving pretty fast then take your foot off the accelerator the value should spike fairly large because you are using very little fuel to go a given distance. It does get averaged by an FIR (moving average) filter, but expect that number to fluctuate. The total and trip MPG should find a steady state value the more you use the software.

I received the ElmScan 5 today and was able to do some debugging this evening to get it to work. I rewrote part of the communication interface to the device so hopefully this will be more reliable. The new setup that I'm posting works with the Elmscan 5 right out of the box...I did not change any settings on the scantool itself.
Remember to set the right com port and baud rate before trying to connect. Enjoy!

Thanks.
Edit: Figured it Out.
Why don't people ever share the answer after they find it?

Anyone have a chance to try the new setup that I posted? Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated.

How are you calculating instantaneous mpg?
