Trouble loading correct ini file

Post by STSMX5 »

I have a specific ini file that is required for my unusual MS1 build. It is unusual because it uses an afm instead of a map sensor so the ini file includes support to read the AFM as the map. So I followed the setup instructions to load from that ini file and at first it worked. The map gauge read as the AFM. For about 15 seconds. Then it stopped and I cannot get it to work again. I have tried changing the properties of the project, I redownloaded the ini file and started a new project and nothing. It keeps reading from the default ini. Any help would be appreciated because I cannot tune until tunerstudio recognises my AFM signal.

What firmware is this based on?

TS will always read the ini file found at:
[YourProjectFolder]/projectCfg/mainController.ini

Sorry, there was a typo that I fixed now. It's an ms1extra, Hr_10g5.
For some reason it appears to be changing the file in that folder to the default, even if I insert the correct file there.

Also, if I manually insert the freshly downloaded ini into the folder [YourProjectFolder]/projectCfg/mainController.ini then it says that there is an error opening the project. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It is probably best if you upload / send a project back so I can see how you have it set up.

Okay I'll see if I can figure out how to do that tonight. I appreciate it.

this is the ini file I am trying to implement. I'm still trying to figure out how to upload a project file.

Well now I'm unable to upload any files. I am 'all eat up' with computer problems at the moment it seems.
Anyway, that ini was written by the guy that built my MS1 and many others of the same layout. It's a completely plug and play (to meet racing class rules) unit for an early Miata. I know the file can work because it worked for me for a moment before something went wrong and now it just won't. I'm sure there is an easy solution but I am out of ideas. I'll keep trying to upload a project file. I know I can't upload the whole project folder, so what would the project file be named? Is it the project.properties file?
