Du-z Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi, I've noticed that AIDA64 writes data to random serial ports when 'Low-level SMBus operations' is checked in the Preferences > Stability tab the data sent always seems to be the bytes "0, 224, 0, 255" This is a problem because i have been tinkering with a platform called Arduino which uses a serial port to update the 'sketch'. 80% of the time when i try and update the sketch i will get the error "Serial port 'COM3' already in use. Try quiting any programs that may be using it.". However when i disable 'Low-level SMBus operations' it works 100% of the time of course disabling 'Low-level SMBus operations' isnt really and option as it disables all of the sensor information.

Fiery Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Please try to enable SMBus operations again, but disable Koolance TMS-200 support. Then restart AIDA64 to apply the changes. Let me know if it helps. BTW, do you have a T-Balancer device connected to your computer? Or the T-Balancer driver installed? Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du-z Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Disabling Koolance support didnt help. I don't have a T-Balaner, But I did some research on it, and it look like it uses a FTDI chip just like the Arduino system, My guess is that it also uses the same generic FTDI VCP drivers. However I have changed the PID of my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I have changed the PID of my project. Does the Arduino's FTDI driver put a FTD2XX.DLL file into the \Windows\System32 folder? AIDA64 uses that DLL module to issue commands to T-Balancer sensor devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du-z Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Indeed it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 In the next AIDA64 beta we'll implement a new option on the Stability page of the Preferences to let you disable the T-Balancer detection. I'll drop a message in this topic once the new AIDA64 beta is available for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 We've implemented the T-Balancer stability option in the latest beta version of AIDA64 Extreme Edition available at: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extremebuild1469s2elk8yzgnzip After upgrading to this new version, make sure to restart Windows to finalize the upgrade. Let me know how it works. Thanks, Fiery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
