Will build an Audi 7A (5-cyl 20v N/A) engine, turbo convert it and use GenBoard v3.3 for fuel and DIS ignition. Partly as a school project.
My biggest "role model" for this project is http://www.80tq.com/20vtMotor.html
I have recieved my stuff and begun testing and hooking it up. Pictures and info soon.
School has started and I'm pretty pre-occupied with the mechanical assembly of the engine, so updates and such will come when I get to the integration of the GenBoard. Hopefully before the end of this year.
Question: I'm following MembersPage/PhatBob/UserGuide and I've connected and powered up the board to the computer. I can connect and "Man" the board in Terminal and 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.
- did you say "bye" in TerminalProgram (or terminal window) before trying megaTune ? (or reboot: after powerup, default is binary megatune communication mode). - Yes I've tried both, still nothing.
- MegaTune, firmware version ? - VemsMT1.0.30rc3.zip, firmware version of Board I don't know, haven't done anything except hooking up serial, keyboard and LCD since I got it. serial number 303, mid summer 2005
- MegaTune is not picky on the install location
This is weird since I can communicate through the terminal in megatune but not the regular connection. => if you can communicate through the terminal commands (either TerminalProgram or MegaTune), it's certainly 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..
Update: I've tried all I can think of. The keyboard/lcd works and I can work the menus in terminal but I can't get a binary connection in either MegaTune or MegaTunix.
What do you think about firmware incompatibility? could that be a reason for this?
Possible.
- how do I find out which firmware I have?
- mdv and mdV commands
I'll try again with another computer later if nothing else works. And I'll organize and clean up my page too.
