Hi guys,

My SM-PCE02 has just arrived and i'm trying to update my motor to the new software version.
Having an absolute nightmare

1/ V5.3.3 is not working
App installs but once i double click the icon nothing loads

2/ V5.3.2 is not working
As above

Have tried installing the app on 2 x laptops and 1 x desktop = nothing

Sooooooooo i installed the V5.2.6 = Hallelujah app loads.........but, once i try to connect to my bike (2024 YT Decor Core 3) i get this

I have updated the software previously using my phone, so i'm guessing the software updated via my phone is not compatible with the older desktop software.

1/ Is this the case, or do i have another problem?

2/ Anyone else found a solution for the V5.3.3 app not starting?

BTW
I am connecting the SM-PCE02 to the 3rd connector on my SC-EM800 display

Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers
Mark

To update this..............Success

I tried the software on my Surface pro laptop, (didn't bother trying it before as it has only USB-C ports and wasn't sure a USB adaptor would work).

Installed the V5.3.3 software and.......it ran
😁

Plugged in my bike and........it worked

Connected first time.

The firmware update was already on my motor, obviously updated from the E-tube phone app.
But oddly the overrun option is not there on the phone app, you can opnly enable and adjust it on the windows app (with the SM-PCE02)

So i enabled it, adjusted it to max and will try it out tomorrow.

To sum up
V5.2.6 = App starting but getting the error........
"A unit not supported by the current e-tube project is connected.DU-EP801"
Seems V5.2.6 does not work with the latest firmware update, hence the above error


V5.3.3 = Simply does not work on some computers
No idea why, all laptops and desktops tried were win11, all 64bit
I have used the exact same software package installed on all 4 PC's, it only opens on 1

Really strange, but solved


Cheers

Would you be interested in selling your PCE02?? Or even renting it with a deposit?New to Shimano and wanting to update bike, Cheers.

All of the latest updates are available now via the mobile app/bluetooth.

Unless you don’t have the Bluetooth enabled controller, in which case you’re definitely going to need a cable and a laptop.
