Newbie - How to load firmware with tunerstudio?

Post by RuneDK »

I've just soldered my v1 pcb 3.0, but now what?
Megatune wont connect, tried a friends megasquirt v1 pcb 2.2, works with the jimstim.

Tunerstudio also doesnt see the box, so does it need firmware before i can get started?

Just to confirm - this is an MS1 i.e. it has a big black 40 pin chip on the board and not a blue plugin card?

The MS1 chips come pre-programmed.
The MS2 cards require programming.

If you have MS1 and you are not seeing any communications then you need to start going through the fault finding and serial testing in the Megamanual.
