using Msdroid with Megashift

Hello,
Did anyone tried using MSDroid with Megashift?
I tried with the 5.104 code. I put the initial in the tablet, the code was recognized but it blocked during firmware loading at 90%...
It is working well with my MS3 and several Microsquirt so I think the problem is not related to the tablet. The Tcu is working well with Tunerstudio.
Thanks
Guillaume

Guillaume,

I haven't used msdroid. Conceptually, the MShift code is the same as ms2/microsquirt code (you can load MShift code on a microsquirt and vice-versa, and I have done this before using the downloader).

However, msdroid might not recognize the MShift signature, or something else in the INI. In that case you need to contact msdroid's developer (I had to ask Phil to add MShift signature recognition capability to TunerStudio when we did the first release, so msdroid might be similar).

msdroid downloads the code? I wasn't aware of any tuning code that did that. Can't you load the code using the downloader (http://www.megamanual.com/files/softwar ... _setup.exe) then use msdroid for communicating (but not downloading the code)?

Lance.

Maybe it was firmware parsing and not loading, I am not sure anymore. It is a communication problem, not loading problem, I did not explain correctly.
The code is loaded in the Msgpiowith the PC and it works OK, no problem with that.
When I connect the tablet to Mshift, it detects the code Mshift 5.104, but at the next step it blocks, it is maybe a problem of signature as you said. I will check with the developers.
Thanks

gui67,

It could be the signature. It could be instead that it expects Unix style EOL (end-of-line) characters in the INI file. So I have done an INI with Unix (same as android) EOLs that you might want to try:
GPIO_MShift_5104b.ini
Unix-style EOL chars

Thanks for making that clear Mr. Fife. Saves me a lot of screwing around figuring out how to make it work.
