Hi all. Although im on here everyday I hardly post but all thatsd about to change lol

Apart from my steering issue today ive also had a friend down to help me get the megajolt talking to the laptop.

Well, we had to download a driver (well he did) to talk to something, then altered the baud rate , data bits , parity etc.

It then seamed to talk to it but still wouldn't work. It comes up with time out

Any ideas

Thanks sam.

As far as im aware he downloaded a driver to talk to the usb/serial converter. He was saying somthing about they dont have com ports anymore , are they vertual or somthing !!

Hes calling back next week with his laptop that has a serial plug on and see if we can eliminate a problem. I just need to try find out why it wont work on mine !. It seams loads of people have problems with the serial / usb convertor

I just use a very old cheap laptop for the mj stuff... IMO a lot depends on the convertor.. Did you have it running on the previous OS?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Rick. Do you want me to drop my tuning laptop in to you? Should be able to use it to get you up and running.

I had this issue but with Windows 7 not working! It would allow me to update the firmware, but not actually pick up on anything when it was running. I gave up and dug out an old windows xp laptop. Worked first time!

It seems to work under Linux with Wine. You can download it for free & run it off a usb stick.

I think it's down to differences in firmware and software versions. Going to pop round later in the week and sort him out.
