source code

Trying to decide on one of the MS product. Availability of the source code is a key factor. Can someone please tell me which of these products/loads have the source available. Thank you.

MS2X
MS3

MS2

Outdated source is available for MS2/BG code and the current source is available for MS2/Extra

MS2X

What's that?

MS3

Source code for 1.0 release is planned to be released soon

MS3X

There is no micro-controller on the MS3X, so no source code exists.

Thank you very much James. I thought MS2X was the shorthand used for the 2 extra. and the 2 extra was a 2 running enhanced software.

Learning curve is a bit steep on this product.

One point of confusion on my part. "There is no micro-controller on the MS3X, so no source code exists." I though the MS3X (3 extra) was a version of the 3 with enhanced software. This whole product line has me confused. Yes, I have reviewed the comparison matrix.... but apparently I am still not getting something.

I don't use any shorthand. MS2/Extra is MS2/Extra.

The difference between MS3 and MS3X is shown here: http://www.ms3efi.com/product2.html

That help alot. Even have 2/2-extra figured out (new software runing on a 2 hardware with a minor h/w mod.)
thanks much.

MS3

Source code for 1.0 release is planned to be released soon

Has it been released? It looks like ms3-release-1.3.3a.zip comes without the source code.

(Sorry to revive an old thread, but that's what google finds for "megasquirt source code")

Latest that has been released is 1.3.2 here: http://www.msextra.com/forums/viewtopic ... 25&t=55011 with a patch to upgrade it to 1.3.3.

Are you a Megasquirt customer? Remember to respect the license terms.

Not a customer right now but obviously respect the license.

[jsmcortina]

The source code is provided for Megasquirt customers.

To clarify, the MS3 source license specifies that you must be a customer to download/use the source, and you can only run the resulting code on a genuine MS3. If you are doing anything outside of this then you are in violation of the license.

[russian]

What about downloading the source code before purchasing the product - would that be a violation of the license? I've read it and I am a bit confused.

This source code may only be used by owners of official Bowling and Grippo

"using for educational purposes" is also using. Am I in violation of the license if I have downloaded the code while not owning about MS hardware?

[jsmcortina]

Without splitting hairs, the source code is provided for Megasquirt customers to allow them to learn about their product and customise the code if they so wish (for use on their Megasquirt.)
It is not provided so that third parties can pinch code ideas from it.

To add to the above.
I wouldn't have a problem with, say a dash manufacturing company looking at the source code to ensure that their complementary product can interoperate with Megasquirt.

However, I most certainly would have a problem with a competitor ECU developer reading up on the code.
