megasquirt nightmares!
Turbo Mini Forums

hi guys,
its been fooking ages since i posted here! been pretty busy with uni etc.
i have been installing megasquirt on my mini, its taken me absolutley ages to do! and i am on the finishing straight now, but i am having so many problems its been hard to stay motivated and any progress has been glacially slow..
basically i have been unable to get my computer to connect with my megasquirt unit, i have a usb to serial adapter and i am sure that it is working, having tested it in hyperterminal, but once you open megatune i keep getting the same problem of no response from the ecu when testing the connection.
i did not build my unit but i got it from ben h as a working unit and have no reson to doubt that it is true, i can't understand why it wont connect though?
it is doing my head in!
do any of you have any suggestions for me to try?
also if there is anyone in the viscinity of winchester who knows what they are on about when it comes to megasquirt, that could maybe come over sometime and have a look at it for me? obviously bacon rolls and tea will be available plus some beer/money
cheers
Dan :)

Have you set the port buffers to zero?

On mine I disabled the FIFO buffers.

Hi Dan,
