Matt or 'Geek....
Bought a pre-assembled MS2 from DIY in June. I had it configured for hi-output coils, and am using a power relay board.
I'm trying to use the new TunerStudio for set-up/tuning.
When I (finally) figured out how to connect, I get a "normal" connection on Com 5, can read tps/coolant/map (rpm...I'll explain)...but to do it, I had to tell Tuner it was a Microsquirt V2.890? <this is from the controller...I thought it would be a version of MS2 while trying to connect...so........
I've yet to connect 02 (not finalized l.e.d/button mount, and haven't calibrated yet), so I don't know if the 02 is correct (reads 17.0 at rest, now).
I'm using an Summit/Mallory CD ignition box, and a VR output dist (locked advance), no hei module, reading VR directly.
When I cycle the key, I get fuel pump 2sec pulse, and (initially) had an rpm input (read about 130rpm-about right for a hi-torque starter) during crank.
Here's the deal.
I am somewhat confused (compared to the older MegaTune stuff on MS1) as to what to input in the base settings (other than * of ignition timing offset..that one was easy to find).
The old M/Tune had general engine constants that could be set (ie: CID, fuel injector sizing, highlighted "norms", ect).
On this version maybe because its a "MegaSquirt" not an "MS2"?, I'm not presented with my friendly "functionality" of the old stuff.
After attempting to use some info in the megamanual, downloading a few configurator files (as recommened in the manual), some Ini. stuff, and generally dicking around for 4hrs, I've somewhere screwed around with the settings enough that....tada...
No rpm input while cranking.
So, is this as simple as just "start new project" and making a few changes to base settings? or did I F-up?
I worked through the ignition settings, and (when it DID read rpm), left the coil disconnected (as instructed), so I can't confirm if it did/didn't have spark output on the CD box input (didn't make it very far, as the baseline I was used to wasn't there.......)
The MS1 seemed like cake compared to the new TunerStudio set-up.
I guess what I'm asking is.
What would be the "norms" in some of the new "non-generated" info sections.
And what do I need to check in terms of "re-baselining" the controller?
And no, I'm only novice computer literate...so no answers like.
"its as easy as dumping the ini. to the Run As in the configurator set-up screen marked msq.pos.ll-/.i-dont-know-shit-yeah. Imadumbass-<<beat-me-with-a-bat.file."
