Speaking of making a video, I was going to do that but didn't have much luck finding a program that would let me do it on my ol' XP machine. I'd be glad to do it if I could figure out how to do it on the free.
I've never had a problem once I figured out:

1. Connect obd SX to truck.
2. Connect to laptop.
3. Start Owiz.
4. Connect to SX/Truck through Owiz.
5. Once Owiz is connected, hit the disconnect button in Owiz but leave Owiz open. I minimized after to get it out of my way.
6. Run robertf's GEM program.

 

Oh ok that makes sense when I tried it on my xp virtualbox I never ran the obd wiz program. But if the updated program works on Windows 10, I'll make a video of it, and if it gets enough views I'll put the proceeds towards a new laptop for hrhoward. Not that xp isn't the og operating system.

 

Just a video showing how to use the tool tomorrow I'll hook it up the truck.

 

very cool. I've never been good at documentation. Once something kind of works I usually push it aside

Those of you who have had the old version work did you happen to have cygwin installed? Since it was developed in *nix environment I used the cygwin compiler the first go round, I suspect it was dependent on their libraries. New version was compiled using MS visual studio and that seems to have fixed the glitch.

 

mr4x4, good job on the video.
robertf, I don't know what cygwin is or if it's installed on my XP laptop. I can find out if you tell me where to look.

Well, I was going to try and make a video on my old laptop but when I fired it up, "Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"

 

very happy tonight lol

So I tried the new GEMS11 program on windows 10 however it stayed stuck on error COM state. I don't know if it was just my PC or a general problem however I said well if XP works for hrhoward, it should work for me as well. So I went to my virtualbox windows xp and connected the OBDlink SX through it, now the difference this time was that I installed the obdwiz program and connected and disconnected to it just like hrhoward said to do. And what do you know it worked. I was in the process of making a video of the windows 10 version but since it didn't work I decided not to continue. However I'll be more than happy to make a video of how I installed windows XP and ran it successfully through there. Started the truck and she purrs like a kitten now no more high/dynamic idle speed. In addition the engine starts without throttle input. Much thanks to RobertTF for the program and hrhoward.

 

Not working quite right on windows 10, could just be an error on my machine however



working properly with OBDWiz running<br/><br/> reseting the idle speed on good ol xp

 

Ok here's the shaky video as promised. Hopefully this can help others that have a high idling Disco but may not have alot of computer knowledge.
