Default SmartyCam HD Not Recognizing

Hi All - am installing a new SC HD. Going from SC HD to a CAN hub which then feeds AIM Pista and GP05. Have updated firmware on the camera, PISTA and GPS. All looking good. But SmartyManager2 is not recognizing the camera. And when I look at the Devices in my RaceStudio it shows the device but says "Unknown Logger". When I use the FirmUpdater, similar issue - has no name for the device, and yet thinks everything is up to date.
Any thoughts? Appreciate the help.

I had a similar problem where SmartyManager2 wouldn't recognize my SmartyCam HD. I ended up uninstalling all the AiM software including the USB driver, and re-installing it all (originally I had just upgraded all of the software without uninstalling first). It then worked without issue.

I think you should try the original SmartyCam instead - works great in my car.

If any of you are on Windows 8.1, check for the latest Smartymanger2 update from AIM - they fixed a bug that was causing connectivity issues with Win 8.1 machines..

There is a software update for Smartymanager 2 and a firmware update for the camera over the last few days.
