MS2/Extra pre-3.4 alpha 8 released

[jsmcortina]

To announce the release of "MS2/Extra Pre 3.4 alpha 8" this follows pre-3.4 alpha7

ETA on this 3.4.x code becoming release is 6 months.

Who should use this code?
Experienced users wanting to test the new features.

Who should not use this code?
New or casual users - please use the current release code instead - see the Downloads page linked above.

Main changes since pre-3.4 alpha 7
Bug fixes:
Allow 16 inj in ini file.

Changed features:
Major CAN re-write.
- TX is polled not interrupt driven
- TX messages built in full in advance
- TX code just grabs pre-made message and loads registers
(CAN OUTMSG feature untested.)
Add serial DEBUG facility. ('d' 'D')

Minor/internal:
-

As noted above, this firmware includes a big re-write of the CAN system which we believe gives far more reliable passthrough operation.

Be sure to read the RELEASE-NOTES.txt and README.txt. Especially note that "Not Synced" has been renamed to "Not RPM synced".

James, i forget about little bug with using JS10 for SparkA. When make ignition ON - SparkA give spark and SparkB are fine. I mean, i just power on ms2 and didnt crank engine.
I can use LED14 for SparkA, but now i cant do that.

Using JS10 for Spk A while using multiple spark outputs isn't desirable. I didn't thing it would work at all. The recommended method is to use D14.

Sorry, i forget about msq. I have old one there. Its not are different.

I have only 2 channels of injector and spark.

tested and works as fine as alpha7, e.g. CAN Realtime Data Broadcasting to the Dash2Pro with 10Hz - nothing odd found so far.

Fine tuning ongoing with the injectors timing with Fuel VE & Accel Enrich and WUE: ´´´too lean...too rich - ahh the smell of E85 exhausts in the garage is killing - few hours per day is enough

Attached msq and some start-idling-revving log data: appreciate if like to point any abnorm settings etc.

Thanks James!
