ShadowDash not working with newer MS3 betas?

Post by elaw »

I'm running ShadowDash on an Android phone and have been running the pre-1.5.1 beta 3 MS3 firmware in my Megasquirt for quite a while with no problems (and doing logging with the phone).

Last night I updated the firmware to beta6 and ShadowDash got very unhappy. It briefly connects to the Megasquirt and starts logging, then after about a second it disconnects. It then reconnects and the cycle repeats endlessly.

I took a video on the phone of what it's doing, that you can download here: http://www.thelawsplace.com/mobizen_20170825_185137.zip.

I also grabbed AppDebug files with the beta 3 firmware and beta 6... they're attached to this post.

I actually tried all the betas from 3 to 6 and the problem occurs with all the ones > 3.

Also to rule out an .ini file problem, I manually copied the one from the beta 6 firmware to the phone but no joy.

Any idea what's going on?

I also have the 1 second disconnect/re-connect issue with Shadow Dash since installing MS3 1.5.1 beta 4.
I don't think I installed MS3 1.5.1 beta3.

Today I downgraded to MS3 1.5.1 beta2 (which I still had on my laptop) and can confirm Shadow Dash works fine on this version. After restoring to MS3 1.5.1 beta6 the Shadow Dash problem re-occurs.

Where did you copy the ini files to?

Because, it does sound like an ini file issue and the newest ini's were for beta 3.

I have put the beta 4,5&6 up there now. See if that takes care of it.

I put it in (pardon me if the path notation is wrong, I don't really speak Android) \main storage\Shadow Dash MS\MS3\ProjectCfg\. I took ms3.ini and copied it to mainController.ini in that folder.

But apparently I did something wrong because I just now fired up SD, it updated the .ini file from the server, and it works! :)

Thanks for putting the new .ini files up there.

Thanks, it's working fine for me too!

I don't think I ever tried moving a .inI file as I never got a report of an inconsistency.
I have a habit of playing with .ini files using MSDroid but have never had to do this with Shadow dash. I'll consider this in the future.

Is hand-copying the .ini file generally supposed to work?

As indicated above my setup is currently working, but there's a new MS3 beta out I'd like to try...

Yes, the dir to copy them to would be:
sdcard/.efianalytics/config/ecuDef/

But I appreciate the heads up when a new release comes out so it is broken :-). At least it gets fixed for everyone that way.

The new inis are up.
