notes from setting up the scantool simulator:
1.) The drivers did not install properly by default, to fix go here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . download the “available as setup executable link under windows, then run the .exe file
2.) open up realterm (download link http://realterm.sourceforge.net/index.html#downloads_Download) go to the “port” page and set:
baud 115200
data bits 8
parity none
stop bits 1
*hit change then click into terminal window to type commands
*type RESET to reset the device and see if your connection is working properly
3.) The correct pin arrangement on the device to work with OBDII protocol is #1 set to “on” #2 set to “off” …. these are the physical switches on the actual simulator
