PFC/FC Edit/Copilot - interface not responding

[m1tch]

Hi all,

Just in the process of trying to get the PFC up and running, I am on the map that is currently on there which is mapped for an NA car with a few mods but I want to get a new basemap on there and my wideband has now arrived ready to be installed and connected up.

I am having great difficulty connecting things up - I have sorted the USB driver and that is working correctly but I can't seem to get it to connect up as I keep getting a 'interface not responding' message on FC edit and Copilot keeps doing soft reset and seems to show PFC timeout.

The hand commander works fine and has all the data feed, its just the connection between the FC Hako and the Laptop I am having issues with. It is on Windows 10 (the driver is also for Win 10 etc) but I have tried to run it in compatibility mode in both 8 and XP and it still has the same issue.

Anyone able to help me out on this one, kinda stuck now!

Only times when I had communication problems was because COM port was not set up. It once or twice somehow forgot settings. When connected FC Hako should show up in device manager. Check what port it is in and make sure FC-edit uses that port.

Windows 7 here if that makes any difference...

My generic ODB cable does odd things on W10. It can't decide what COM port it wants to be.... each time its some random port between COM1 and 19

I have sorted it out and its all working correctly, I was fine with the COM port as I checked that via the device manager, the issue I had is that the driver updated to the very latest one (which doesn't work) so I manually installed a much older driver, unfortunately the older driver although stopping the device from showing an error wasn't new enough for the cable to work. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled a backdated (but not oldest) driver and its working as expected, I can confirm that everything runs well in windows 10.

I am getting a windows 10 tablet to have plugged into the Hako/PFC for logging and monitoring as its a bit less bulky than a laptop - bit like the Tesla cars!

That might explain why I had no issues with W8 and XP.... different drivers
