Re: VSS help please
Here is a better version:
This has many changes to the way the ADC are handled, and could solve some lever position related errors for some users. It has also had more testing than 5.090, and a number of small bug fixes.

Re: VSS help please
I have put a link to new code in the 'Latest Code Updates' thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=240&p=4884#p4884
The code there is largely the same as the 5.091 code above, unless you are using a microTCU (in which case there are some small changes that affect the lever position logic). However, it's probably better for you to use the beta release code from the link for testing rather than the code above, if only to reduce confusion later.

Re: VSS help please
Since you posted the code I've been in hospital and had surgery so its taken me until now to have a go.. however, it may be the drugs, but what have I done wrong?
I downloaded the new code, bridged the bootloader etc.. and succesfully loaded the code onto the GPIO. I then went back to my tunerstudio, updated the CAN1 ini file to the new one and connected. But no matter what I do I get this error:

I've spent the last hour trying different things but can't get past this, what have I done wrong?

Re: VSS help please
I am sorry you had to have surgery, I hope you are feeling better now.
I get this sort of error occasionally. It appears to be a bit of confusion in TS as to which signature belong to which controller. I generally find if you click "yes" to 'connect anyways', it might then work or it might not (but hasn't done any harm any time I have tried it). But if you do that and then shut down TS and restart, everything usually works fine from that point on (for me, at least). It may be that TS needs to reset to recognize the proper configuration of the controller.
I believe you can also do this by updating the INI while off-line in TS.
BTW, there is newer, better 5.093 code here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/V5code.html

Re: VSS help please
If you check my screenshot you'll find I am using 5.093 ☺

Re: VSS help please
Obviously I didn't see you were using the newer code, sorry!
I just tried the 5.093 INI on my bench (with B&G 2.920 code in the engine ECU) and it works okay for me with the CAN pass-through. Can you connect directly to the GPIO using the 5.093 INI in a new project?

Re: VSS help please
Try this INI:
http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/fi ... t_5093.ini
There appear to have been some issues with the way the upcoming split between the old serial comms and new envelope serial comms were handled in the INI. This INI appears to work properly with the CANbus pass-through (and B&G 2.920) on my bench.
Also, make sure CAN_COMMANDS are 'Activated' in the setup.

Re: VSS help please
One step forward, two back.
At first I thought the problem was cured, but it appears not. I'm struggling to put my finger on the problem. Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains how Tunerstudio handles the tuning of CAN1? as I think I'm getting twisted.
The errors are now slightly different to previous.

In this image you can see that it says CAN 1 in the header (immediatly preceeding where it says 'go online for firmware version'), sometimes this says AUDIV6 (the project name) and sometimes CAN1.. this is the sort of thing that I'm finding confusing.
