Hi guys, I have no less than three OBD2 dongles for my Leaf: A WiFi dongle, a BT 1.5 dongle and a BT 2.1 dongle. The last one is what I use with LeafSpy and it works perfectly. The first one does as well, but having to connect through WiFi is annoying.
However, I would like to connect to the CAN bus from my Windows laptop; what is the easiest way to do that? I tried pairing with the BT 2.1 dongle, but was not successful; then I tried the BT 1.5 dongle, which paired fine and under device manager I got 2 com port (edit: in fact, I am not sure that these are the correct serial ports as they do not disappear when I disconnect the OBD2 dongle). I then tried connecting to both using SavvyCAN (which I have never tried before) and after setting up the connections, it just said Not Connected all the time, so I have no idea what else to try...
Any recommendations?
I also have a couple of arduinos, some RPis, some HC05 modules and some CAN modules, but I would really like to have some basic comm up and running on the laptop first as it is much easier for initial debugging/development.
