Q: I'm following MembersPage/PhatBob/UserGuide and I've connected and powered up the board to the computer.

* the keyboard/lcd works

* I can work the menus in terminal, say "Man" in TerminalProgram or in the mini-terminal in MegaTune, but when I try to test the connection through Communication Settings it says "No Response!". The settings are as in the userguide.

before trying megaTune

* right after reboot (after powerup, default is binary megatune communication mode)

** tried: no success

* if you can use the menu commands, it's in "Man" mode in which you will NOT be able to connect for normal MegaTune logging / tuning. Try "bye" (again), maybe you need to close the terminal window, etc...did you say "bye" in TerminalProgram (or terminal window) and received "Bye" from the ECM ?

** tried. But: was the "Bye" answer visible ? - Yes it was.

* MegaTune, firmware version ?

** VemsMT1.0.30rc3.zip

** firmware version is 1.0.13

*** mdv : "2005. júl. 5., kedd, 21.13.00 CEST"

*** mdV: "1.0.13"

Solution: These are incompatible. Either

* find an old MegaTune release matching your firmware (unsupported. the shipped firmware is ment for testing )

* or upgrade firmware. The firmware bundled with the MegaTune is often a good bet (but read GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges anyway).

* Try another serial cable?

** Does NOT seem to be a problem in your case

* Another computer?

** this can work, if the other computer has a MegaTune installed that is compatible with your firmware ;-)

* MegaTune install location:

** nope, MegaTune is not picky on the install location. This allows you to have several versions installed (eg. always have one -operational- for each install, eg. your customer's cars too)
