Who should not use this code?
Unless directed by tech support, new or casual users should use the current release code instead – see the Downloads page linked above.

Main changes since pre-1.5 beta 9 firmware

Bug fixes:
Ensure DOME PID timer is run.
Allow Megaspartan messages to be received when CAN EGO is set to "Disable".
Check and retry SDcard on SPI error during file readback. (Short logs issue.) SDcard readback error counter in istatus5.
Allow Ult shutdown in config error.

New / changed features:
Std FP output also works when PWM FP in use on a different output.
Run boost dome 'basic' mode at 1ms interval for better valve response.
Tweak boost dome test mode handling.

Allow "slower" SDcard SPI to override default rates on new hardware.

Minor / internal:
Loader tweaks.
Various tooltips incl. on/off, gen PWM pin states.
Default log fields.
Preserved pages on quick reflash.

The firmware zip is available from:
http://www.msextra.com/downloads/dev/ms3/1-5/beta-10/

Be sure to read the README.txt and RELEASE-NOTES.txt that are supplied in the zipfile.

Upgrading users are advised to enable the "old baro calc" for backwards compatability.

Some of the ini changes will result in harmless warnings when loading MSQs from 1.4.x
Users upgrading from 1.2.x or earlier codes need to pay more attention.
TunerStudio 3.0.x or later is REQUIRED.

Go ahead and use the built-in firmware loader on the Tools menu of TunerStudio 3.0.x - you'll like it.

I'll update tomorrow. Thanks for the continued development!

Just out of sheer curiosity, what is the current primary beta? 1.4.2 is at b3; 1.5 went to beta as of 9. Is the 1.4.2 stream still being developed, or dropped for 1.5?

[jsmcortina]

Typically we'd stop developing the previous release at this time, but I do plan on putting out another 1.4.x beta with an SDcard fix in it. That way existing customers can benefit from that improvement without being required to take on the other changes in 1.5.
