Problem with Hymee sCANalyser Live
 

Hi to everybody!
I have an issue with the sCANlyser Live...
I have just received mine, and when i opened the package the were only the sCANalyser Interface, OBD right angle cable and the 9 pin female to female serial cable. Nothing else...no software, no manual, NOTHING!! Could someone help me with the software??
Thanks in advance!

send a PM to Hymee, he'll give you a link to download the software.

I just tried to go to Hymee's website and it seems to have disappeared. Try asking the question in the Aussie forum and see if they can get you in touch with him.

website is up, here's the contact information

Beta software is HERE.

MM: did the beta resolve the issue clearing CEL's?
is that for the USB version?

No. CEL thing is still there.
Mine is the serial version.
I don't think the software is different. I'll check the CD.

I bought the USB version, it has some nice features but it can't clear CEL's. :(

The DB9 (RS232) version doesn't clear CELs, either. Only the older version of the software works in this regard.
FWIW, the ProTuner doesn't clear CELs.

Some of the other features are non-functional as well, like the "tell-tales" under the gauges (they are fixed to 100%, regardless of the actual sensor max), the graphing function (it locks and stutters and the files are full of garbage), etc.

As a straight-forward OBD-II display, it is really nice, though.

Would be great if Mark would come on here and give us an update on ALL his products .....

Well, there definitely is no update for any of his software.
There haven't been any changes since 2005.

Hymee has left teh building .....

First of all i would like to thank you all for your answers!!
I send a PM to Hymee and waiting for his answer...
Again thank you all!!

waste of time, but good luck ...

Hymee did login today so all may not be lost.

No necessarily.
Mark answers his e-mail.

Hymee did finaly answer to my mails! He gave me a link to download the software, but now i am waiting to send me the serial driver....

Hello to everybody! Once again i need your help...!
I talked with Mark (Hymee) and told me that for the serial adaptor i wont need any driver. Well, i went earlier this afternoon to check the whole thing how it works, but nothing...
i put firmly the OBD cable, i have a serial adaptor connected to the interface, from serial female to serial female, and a cable from serial male to usb...when i open the sCANalyser Live program, on the left bottom of the window says "Select Tools/Connect to connect to vehicle".On the middle says "Logging: Off" and on the right says "Interface: Disconnected". I do as it says(go to "tools" and click "Connect") BUT the status of the interface changes to "Error (timeout)" immediately...
What am i doing wrong??
P.S. Sorry for the big post!

under tools, there should be different comm port options, try clicking a different one until you are able to connect.

Still nothing.
i will order another serial-usb cable to see what will hapen, because when i'm plugging it with the interface, it does not show me the message"a new hardware device found".my operation system is windows 7 32bit.

I've never used it with Windows 7 but I do remember the serial to USB adapter I bought back in the days had a driver I needed to install from the manufacturer of the adapter.

:dunno:

mine too needed to be intalled, but nothing happened! Still the "error (timeout)" at the interface status.
i have another obd interface called "dynoScan" from Autera and when i go to com ports from control panel says "OBD dynoscan com port", but with this interface it shows me only the serial-usb cable. no obd interface name, not even as a hardware can be recognised...
i will order serial pci card and see what wll happen...
Thanks a lot for your help!!

Did you change the hardware from a logger to a "live" scan device?

Look under the tools section where you would change it from logger to programmer to Live...
After the device has been changed, you will need to restart Protune.

Mine works fine in live mode, but it's a pain switching back and forth from logger to scan, to programmer.
I do have a second dedicated logger dongle now.

hello to everybody! i'm sorry for not updating the post but i have so many things to do and i don't have much time to deal with this...but i will...soon...i guess...!

I finally did it!!I bought a serial PCIe card and it works just fine!!I would like to thank all of you for your help!!

THANKS!!

Hope to see some of you in Greece!!
