Noobie Question

[volvoguy50]

Since this is my first post, a quick back-story/intro on me:

I'm not new to MegaSquirt by any means. I've got my 5 Cyl. running on MS3/MS3X and am working to move my 4 cyl. over to MSnS. I go by the same name on the MSExtra forums as well as other Volvo-related sites.

I AM a MegaShift noobie. This is my first automatic setup in a while as it is, so bare with me.

Now onto my question:
When I create a new project in TunerStudio, I direct it to the INI file that I downloaded from the V2 code page. When I do that, TS throws a fit about null errors in the ini file, says the ECU configuration isn't valid, throws 2 more null errors at me, and then bombs out and say it can't open the project.

Am I doing something wrong?

Latest TS beta/RC, version 1.11, licensed. It works fine with both my MS1, MS3, and IOx INI's.

vvvguy,

I tried with TS 1.004 and get no errors at all on 2.109 and the INI. I will ask Phil if anything has changed in this regard with the latest beta code.

Alright, will do. Thanks. Unfortunately, 1.11 has been released as stable, so 1.004 and the rest aren't avail. anymore. Luckly I keep ALL TS and MS files so I can revert if needed.

EDIT:
I still get some weirdness in 1.004, but I think that's because I'm not connect to a controller or anything - I'm just doing it off-line on my desktop PC. It's throwing errors all over about no MSQ being loaded.

This looks like a bug in TunerStudio that is getting tripped by a line the MShift ini. The ini entry is fine and should be loaded.

I was about to put out another release, I will include the fix for this.

OK. I posted up on MSExtra in the TS section as well about another issue, so you might wanna check that as well.

Thanks for looking at this Phil!

Just saw this and this is the same problem I'm having

Phil posted ver 1.12 last night I can load Mshift as a standalone and run it, but you still can't run it with CAN pass through with MSII, I get 21 errors failed to subscribe to DashComp output CH

All,

I have posted a corrected INI for the 2.109 code here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/fi ... t_2109.ini

The previous INI had errors. Two values (sp2prm_cond and sp2gear) had the wrong offsets, and these conflicted with other parameters. They are fixed in the linked file.

Unfortunately, this hasn't fixed the TS <- MS2 <- MShift CAN CAN comms issue, but I am going through the INI with a fine-tooth comb, and hopefully will find something that helps soon. These corrections are necessary in any case.

All,

It seems that the CAN transfer likes the input pages to be in 8 byte blocks. So I have added 7 bytes to the code and INI as 'pad bytes' for a total of 640 bytes and the CAN comms appear to work perfectly again (w/ MS-II 2.905).

The new 2.110 code and INI are here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/V2code.html (you may need to refresh this page if you have visited it recently). Anyone experiencing CAN issues should upgrade.

Many thanks to Phil for his work and advice on this! And thanks to users for their patience.

Lance.
