COM Port Not Available Windows, Mac, and Linux Users seem to be able to eventually get the board recognized by a combination of giving the computer time to finish the install ( close to 20 min), plugging the board back in multiple times, reinstalling the drivers, and/or resetting the computer multiple times ( repeat both steps). Others have had issues where the installation process hangs.īased on the customer experiences, this might be specific to the manufacturer and are usually isolated cases. However, the board cannot be accessed on the Arduino IDE. We have had a few reports on Windows 10 where the driver will automatically install and the board will show up under a new COM port as USB-Serial CH340, but with a different device name. When you want to connect next time, just make sure that you’re connected to OBD2 WiFi network and tap on “Connect” button.Troubleshooting COM Port is Not Showing Up as CH340 Windows That’s all! Now all you need to do is tap on big green “Connect” button that’s located. For most cases it’s IP address is 192.168.0.10 and port is 35000, but some adapters have different settings, so you should check documentation that comes with your adapter. Make sure that you have correct adapter IP address and port. Tap on “Adapter” (in old versions – “Connection”) Open Car Scanner and go to Settings (gear icon in the top-right corner).

Please, note, that it’s NEVER called like your car brand. Most of adapters doesn’t require password for WiFi network, but if your adapter requires that – follow documentation that comes with your adapter. VGate adapters usually have “VLINK” network name).

Sometimes it’s name has something familiar with your adapter brand (e.g. Usually it’s called “OBDII”, “OBD2”, “WIFI_OBDII” or something like that. Locate Wi-Fi network, created by ELM327 OBDII adapter and connect to it.
