    Did you include X11 when installing Cygwin and run from an x-term? (It won't work from a Cygwin terminal.)

    Was there any error messages?

    OK maybe the disk is too full to finish the install. What happens when you click
    Start Menu -> Cygwin-x -> Xwin Server
    to start an x-term?
    If you can start an x-term then try to run PriiDash by navigating to the directory where you downloaded and unzipped it and type
    ./PriiDash2
    then hit enter.

    it wants to run but nothing happens.. no error etither .. i think the install is miisssing those last few pacakges.. can i djust install those last ones instead of doing the whole things over again now that ther has been space cleared >?

    .. i'm just gonna redo the the thing....

    On re'running setup .. I was able to see versions or ones that were missing so .. hopefully when I selected 'keep' I didin't have to re'DL and reinstall the ones it sees already...
    ok this time I got ... less errors .. woo hoo?~ :(

    Yes use the same setup.exe for Cygwin. Check each package is selected - it may already be selected from previous install so double check to be sure. Then run it - it should be smart enough to only add things that's missing.

    just gotta bite the bullet and redo it
    As an aside.. there is no mention of weather the BIN and/OR the SRC should be checked .. and some can be one or the other or both .. do you just need the bins or do u also need the source for each ?

    On install instructions .. the last #9 says "lib/boost" .. there is no LIB .. it's called from the setup LIBS .... and boost is only available as 49 MB of SRC ..

    Yes that's the correct webpage.

    Strange I haven't seen those errors before.

    Try running PriiDash from an x-term and see what happens.

    If it still can't run then you may try deleting the downloaded package files (they may be incomplete when the disk space ran out earlier) and re-run setup.exe

    If that doesn't work then uninstall Cygwin completely and re-install it from scratch (make sure all downloaded package files are deleted first). That ought to work. Good luck!

    VC2010 is native Windows version that doesn't need Cygwin. The other two needs Cygwin. Yes it will show HV battery SOC. It also saves individual block voltage and resistance in a log file.

    I did set it to COM 4 -- i dont think i can quite get 1 mb so i set it to hightest in the ctrl panel at 914k or whatever and put tried the 1M and 2M and left it on 500K ---

    I'm not sure how far the car has to be on for this to work -- i cant go all the way to ready mode because it would try and start and something is currently binding , not to mention the oil pan is removed so I can't start the ICE.

    I can push the power button 2x .. and i can push the break and put it in N (still cant turn the crank more than ~ 1/8 turn) -- but i cant put the thing in ready mode or it will try and start !

    the port has 8data No parity and 1 stop bit with no flow control --- at 912,600 bps (max)

    I tried ports 4,5, and 6
    I tried on port 4 the Xon/Xoff and Hardware flow control as well as None (default)

    I always get the guage window to say 'window not responding'
    I wonder if the car has to be in the READY mode to send the data through ELM ....

    No the car only needs to be IG-ON (but don't leave it on too long otherwise the 12V battery may be drained).

    I think the port settings (parity etc.) can all be left as default. The only two things that matter are port number and baud rate.

    I just realized the link to the baud rate setting instruction is half-broken since the PriusChat web site changed software. Here is a direct link:
    FAQs | Troubleshoot - Need help? Ask questions here. | PriusChat

    Follow the instruction in the link to set the baud rate and test connectivity with a terminal program. The baud rate in the Windows Device Manager does not matter.
