Cant connect to megasquirt
i have a ibm thinkpad with a serial port. i recently picked up a megasquirt (first batch of ZEMS) i plug it up and the car starts up. i tried to connect laptop with serial cable and it wont make a connection.
i tried the test and it did a test on ports 1 & 3 for connections and nothing on either.
i know the serial port works because i used to to program my lc1 and gauge.
any suggestions?

the ZEMS module he has was prebuilt and has a known working serial connection on it because thats how they flash the baseline settings onto it. Im thinking its the cable issue mentioned.

In your case, I suspect your last sentence outlines your problem. You do not mention supplying 12v or ground to the MS box. If you don't power up the box, there's no way communications will work!

I know for sure that the unit has good serial comms. We test every unit before shipping.
Most likely if it's not the cable, its your megatune configuration. You probably don't have it set to connect on the right port.
Does megatune display any messages when it starts up? A dialog box saying something about "offline mode" perhaps?
