Solution to MT error w/ VEMS Signature

The firmware that was shipped with my VEMS unit was 1.0.38. I then attempted to up/downgrade the firmware versions until I wasn't getting this error anymore, and now with 1.0.32 it seems to be ok. But the more I look through the WIKI the more I find people being able to use the newest 1.0.38 firmware, yet I'm not.

Q: Can anyone point me into the proper direction so that I can get megatune to run with the 1.0.38 version of the firmware? I tried the 1.0.23 version which I'm guessing is the last "stable" version according to the FirwareChanges WIKI, but the LCD comes out all screwed up.

A: Start MegaTune either way, even if it complains about the "signature". Go the menu : Settings -> Basic Settings. Now check that your "Map Range Unit" and "Table kPa Unit" are set correctly.

Thank you for the quick reply! But I have told MegaTune that my Map Range is 400 kpa (as I have a 4Bar onboard MAP), but am unable to find the Table kPa Unit you are talking about under Basic Settings. BTW, I'm using/tried MegaTune version(s): MegaTune2.25b654 and MegaTune2.25b748.

I _think_ that MegaTune2.25b748 is old, you could try the version in: http://www.vems.se/UserFiles/File/VemsMT1.0.36.zip that is what almost everyone here in Sweden is using. -Jörgen

Q: Could it be that I need a different MegaTune ini file? The strange thing is that with firmware 1.0.32 all is well, and I don't get this error, but as soon as I uprage to anything newer (up to 1.0.38) I have this problem.

This is the exact error I'm getting from MegaTune, so hopefully that will shine some more light on my problem for you. Thanks!

MegaTune error:

Controller code version does not match signature in vemsv3.ini.

This indicates old ini file. Download newer MegaTune. (maybe only the ini file changed, but easier to download the whole bundle).


Knock sensor info

Also another Q: When connecting knock sensor(s), the VR6 has two, could I connect both to one channel on the VEMS (ch 0)?

As in the VEMS manual (chapter 9.9) it says that Knock A (channel 0) is the one that commonly used, and that Knock B (channel 1) isn't.
