can not calibrate lc1

[wadesns]

I know that this is not a hptuner issue but i am in need of some help with calibrating my lc1. I have tried everything that I know humanly possible to connect to my lc1 to calibrate it and always get the same message sayin "Please connect the device to a serial port and switch it on" I have checked all grounds and all connections. I am also using a usb to seril connector with updated drivers. Does anyone know what comm the lc1 is setup to connect to? Iknow that my adapter is configured correctly to my computer because I have used it today on another device. Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

Subscribed. I have to calibrate my LC-1 as well and our laptop does not have a serial port.

same issue

i have been able to connect with the software but programming changes do not seem to take.

I purchased a USB to serial port adapter (made by Gigaware and available at the Shack for $38) and was able to connect to the LC-1. The connection was not automatic -- in Logworks, I had to click on "File" and then "Connect" for it to recognize the serial port adapter. Logworks then has to be closed to open the LM Programmer so that it can connect. I reconfigured the Analog 2 output settings as recommended to work with HP Tuners. Next step will be to connect the output to the MPVI. It appears I need to also run a ground wire? Have to do some more reading.

It's not the LC-1 that's configured for a specific com port. The USB/Serial adapter emulates a com port that the LC-1 connects to. It should be found somewhere in the configuration software that was included with the adapter. Otherwise, you should see a com port within the hardware in the windows device manager control panel.

Are you saying your AFR in Scanner is different from Logworks? If so then thats your offset voltage that you have to account for.

Posting here as a reminder since I don't have the correct PC for this issue. You have to make sure that you don't have two different drivers mapped to the same port. I initially got this error as well with my BlackBerry.
