Hardware not found, "Tunerpro R/T"

**LSVolvo940** · 10-01-2020

Ok so far I have registered Tunerpro R/T and am able to read ECU's on a scan tool with my test harness powered up so that is working properly. I still have not been able to initialize hardware, I am running a USB to Serial adapter cable and Serial to 0BD2 adapter together. The hardware is an NXT serial to USB cable, I have the driver downloaded and the file shows up when I go to load ADX . When I go to select ADX and open it just goes away and says no items match my search. Not really having any trouble with the software, I just have not been able to connect to an ECU. All other options, dashboard, emulation Ect. are off and will not open without the hardware connected. Not exactly sure what I am doing wrong this software is new to me so any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Yours may vary but recently while working on $E6 stuff, my laptop would connect just fine as I started TPRT. Vehicle owner's laptop when trying to connect nada! Going into Tools/Preferences
I noticed that he had "Enable Dual Emulator (16 bit)" checked. Unchecked and back in business. First image here.

edit:Let me re-phrase that to "hardware found" as soon as I start TPRT with an audible chime on my laptop.

Right, ok I understand all of that but what type of cable or specific driver do we need to get this thing running? Or what current cable do we know works with TunerproRT? Could just be the driver though, driver file comes up as Prolific. I have tried using the search engine but could not pinpoint a specific driver for ALDL cable'/s or RS232 cables. In short , hardware still not detected , car is basically ready to hook battery up and crank over. Guess it might help to list the setup as well. 95 Volvo 944, 5.3 lm7, 4l80e, full/ish factory wiring harness from an 04 Yukon xl. I am definitely going to need to compile bin to get the transmission running properly. Maybe ill go to bin stacker in the meantime and fool around with that.

Tried with elm327 powered up, phone recognizes it but computer does not. I'm finding that a tablet or better Samsung phone will actually connect , not sure about this pc. Who is using a WIFI interface? I just have an old Samsung j5 phone and it did more than the desktop. It would just be pointless to try to tune from a phone except for direct re-flash from existing file. Gotta go dinner is on the table.

Hooked up bluetooth adapter to see if it would recognize the ELM327 . Nothing, will not connect to any device. Im about to scrap it and move on to something else. Car starts a litte i just need to tune the ecu.

Sorry I've seemed to have been mislead by the subject line...if you don't have any Hardware connected i.e. APU1 or Ostrich TPRT will always report that. I'm not LS savvy and don't even know what cable works with what. Hope someone who knows will chime in.
