Summary of change:
'''Powerup''' Some issues here: should I connect the serial header pins to the EC18 connector, because I only have communication with a direct connector onto the header pins and not through the EC18 connector only? The default RS232 - EC18 is on http://shop.x-dsl.hu/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=48 But other methods (eg. your "header connection" can work too) When serial header is connected and EC36 has power and GND I have communication with the PC using Megatune (succes! => so your firmware operates), but with the TerminalProgram you want to say sg. like "Manmcd" so the controller prints it's config (than "bye" or reboot before letting MegaTune talk to the board again.) v3.3 board is there already firmware uploaded or should I do this? Man mdv mdV command prints the firmware version. If I type man mdv , the PC recieves alot of strange symbols on the recieving screen but nothing understandable? It's very important to use the correct letter case. 'Man' will work and 'man' won't. Read more at GenBoard/MenuSystem and download the refcard pdf file at the bottom of that page. Thanks Mattias. This is OK I get a 'Hello' from the board in Terminal! If it's the newest, there is little urge to reflash however, you can verify I don't understand this (I am a beginner in this kind of stuff), you should explain things more explicit, like type this in this program and then do this because it's too difficult for me. Thanks for your patience and help anyway! (not write, just verify mode; prog.pl vems.hex :COM2 Etf or UsabiLity/GenBoard/WinTools or megaloader with whatever option ). If this verify fails, you might want to reflash (the firmware in might be compiled with nonstandard options, such as IGN_DUALOUT. This is not clear from the short "1.0.18" version text) 21/10/2005 Firmware r027 succesfully uploaded! Q: Problem with power up? When I power up the genboard there is highlighted: 'V.E.M.S. Firmware: 1.0.19' but it stays like this all the time (sometimes only a few letters are visible). I think it should move to a starting page? A: Can you communicate through the serial port with the Genboard the only thing I can imagine is a LCD misconfiguration. What is your current config? Try disabling busy polling in the LCD settings. Yes I can communicate through the serial port. If I disable busy polling the problem is fixed.Thanks Mattias Q: But other problem rises: I have a AZERTY keyboard but it should be QWERTY I guess? Is there a solution? Q: What should be the configuration for the TPS? I still have 56% when throttle is closed. A: In MegaTune, go to the menu ''Tools -> Calibrate TPS'' and get the values for idle and WOT. Enter those in ''Settings -> Basic Settings'' window. You can use a narrower range of values to ensure that there is no movement due to a noisy signal (there should be no noise). Experiment and you'll understand.OK Q: When in Megatune, the last 6 or 7 redbullets on the bottom of the screen disappear for a millisecond from time to time and meanwhile also the values(needles) drop to zero???? Is this a bad contact somewhere? A: Check that you have a matching megatune vemsv3.ini with your current firmware version, either that is the problem or a bad serial conn.. You can probably see a RESET counter increasing in the lower left corner of the main screen.. OK changed vemsv3.ini from new firmware to Megatune directory and problem is solved! Thanks Emil!
