The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
Forum rules Read the manual to see if your question is answered there before posting. Many users will not reply if the answer is already available in the manual.
If your question is about troubleshooting, configuration, or tuning, you MUST include your processor type (MS-I or MS-II) and code version in your post. If your question is about PCB assembly or modifications, you must also include the main board version number (1.01, 2.2 or 3.0). For tuning/troubleshooting questions, please attached a datalog and your MSQ file to your post.
I got my car running and driving around the hood I got the ve tables set close so took the car to the dirt in my trailer to do a long datalog. I unloaded the car and let it warm up, once over 160 I hooked up my laptop pulled up the file and watched the car run in megatune. I tured the car off and back on but did not start it. I made some changes to my timing table and started to burn it to my ECM and the conection bliped a couple of times and then nothing. Now the car won't run and there is no conection to my computer. I have checked 12v with 5amp fuse, all grounds and my tuning cable on a touch screen that usses the same cable. There is a VERY slim chance that the bootload wire could have been grounded. I have a Microsquirt and am open to any ideas anyone has. The board dose not smell or look burnt.
Thanks in advance, I know this is something stupid but I am a little slow with the programing thing.
Is this the firmwhare and instal procedure you are talking about? There seems to be a cross over between firmware and embedded code. Are these the same thing? Sorry I must be a total noob.
