Word of warning, u can corrupt the dash config if you send it silly things or apply it to vz clusters.
hey mate, every time I have downloaded it and tried to use it, it keeps saying requested baud 8192 , achieved baud 0.
Any tips on how to get around this ?
Cheers
I'm using an ALDL cable purchased from here a long time ago.
Might have to put together a MAX232 cable, there's a post here stating that's all they could get working: viewtopic.php?p=94147#p94147

have you tried to do read of the general cluster info?
"File > Get Instrument Details" is greyed out.
I've got AAPL level access using cheat engine. Most of the other features either timeout or don't do anything.

I ended up getting it working in an XP virtual machine.
Can confirm the 8192 baud error at startup is normal - it works fine despite this. But most of the software works, and I've confirmed the data is being sent / received using an oscilloscope. There are a lot of bugs in the software though (eg. when trying to load one of the data tables I get an index out of bound error and the software crashes).
Can't make it work in windows 10 though. It does seem to half work - I can see a BCM enable chatter command being sent periodically when in one of the menus (which is the same behavior as in the XP VM). However whenever I try to actually do anything in the menu, it just does nothing - no data actually transmitted. Where as on the XP VM there's data being sent in between the enable chatter commands when you do something, and the software works.
And yes it is sending an enable chatter command - not a disable. Maybe another bug in the software? or maybe its trying to see the clusters response to the BCM message? who knows.
Also had to modify the cheat engine script I found somewhere years ago to get aapl access. The latest version of cheat engine I could install on XP was 6.7 which didn't seem to work with the script. In the end it was only 1 simple thing: the script contained a "nop 4" line (4x nop's). Just had to replace that line with 4 individual lines of "nop" and it worked fine in 6.7.
