hey guys i just finished up the wiring on my 88 turbo rx7.
have it on the labtop all the sensors are picking up.

however what is the next step i should take?
i see the FAQ but not sure where to go to enter those commands and inputs.

or is there a section that i can go to , to further my reading for this step cause im stumped guys. please help me out . thanks!

single VR sensor version 3.0 MS board.
modded CAS
GM air inteake sensor
GM water sensor
Ford TPS

 

You'll need the latest 029 firmware if you have an ms1, with the ms2, you'll want the 1.0.2 firmware.

Then you'll need to go through all your settings configuring it for the rotary engine.

oh sorry failed to mention that i have the firm ware already .
i was in a hurry writing this post cause i was on my lunch break .
=)

Ken do you have a link that will guide me thru the software input stage ? im hoping to get this thing to idle! =)

ive also gone and pre checked for spark and fuel on my car and she is getting both so that is a good sign.

ill keep you guys posted, i kinda wish i could make videos of my work. . .

 

went and messed with the car today. forgot to mention other info about my setup

running 2.25 Megatune software
board 3.0 MS

i cant seem to find the window for setting up the trigger settings anywhere in the megatune. and i dont have a file to export into it also sadly..

the warmup section has got me stummped as to i have no idea what i need to put as my VE tables . . .

in short i have no idea what im doing for the software part lol


HELP!

 

remove this thread please Ken since its just idling.

thanks

 

What I have found is that if you cannot find a feature or settings window in Megatune it is likely that whatever firmware you intend to run hasn't actually been loaded or the .ini files haven't been activated in the Configurator for the firmware that you're using. It would be more helpful if you tell us what your MS setup is (2nd vr, single vr with modded CAS, what version firmware, etc).

 

sorry for not being clear.
the window that i am looking for is the ' wheel decoder' that is the window that i cant seem to find.i see it in the FAQ but the window is called.' power cycle after changes'


MS1 v 3.0 board
single VR with modded CAS '2 teeth removed'
firmware 2.25 p1
GM air sensor
GM water sensor
stock pump
550CC all around injectors


ive have figured out the other maps and settings. but just the spark and timing CAS windows arnt/cant be found. =( ive been looking in msefi.com . cant find anything that can help me.

sorry guys im still learning this megasquirt this is all new grounds for me. hope this will clear things up. if you guys need more info let me know thanks for all the help.

 

Are you familiar with downloading the latest code? It would be a good idea to download version 029y4. Make sure it is downloaded properly and also cycle the power to your MS. Then you have to open and run the "copyini" subfolder that comes with the downloaded firmware, it should be in the Megasquirt folder under 029y4. That will send the correct .ini file to Megatune. Then open Megatune, then Configurator, find the 029y4 in the list, click once to highlight it, click File, then Activate. Then, double-click the 029y4 in the list, go to "settings.ini" then Code Variant. In the drop-down at the top of the page, select "James Murray and Phil Ringwood's MSnS Extensions" (i think that's the one) then click Idle Controller and choose the one that fits your setup. Then click on Lambda and choose the o2 that fits your setup. Make sure you cycle the power to your MS (reboot). This should make your settings windows appear in Megatune so you can set everything up. Keep us posted. And Ken, let us know if I made any errors in this post.

 

i downloaded the latest code but not sure how to put it in.i cant seem to see this copyini subfolder?
can you go into more detail on the pathing of the file?i was thinking of just moving the file manually to its correct location. or will that not work?

example

C:/megasquirt/MGtune/029y4

 

ok that is what i havent done cause i thought one you download the software it would be the most up to date one. my mustake.

OK bringing you guys up to speed

im runnin for a labtop a windows 98. .. come to find out i had to DL a WINzip file cause my pc had no way to unzip anything...
ive done almost everything up to the part where i plug the MS back in and hae the reformated into the board itself. " the COPYINI" part that you are talking about. i was looking at another link it it has different sets to take in order to install this add on ?
can you conferm that this can be followed as well?
http://megasquirt.sourceforge.net/extra/setup.html
i typed the link not sure if its clickable.....
thanks

 

That's one way to do it. On my pc, I go to My Computer, then Drive C, then Program Files, then Megasquirt folder, then Ms1extra029y4, then copyini.bat then open Megatune and open the configurator like I said earlier. I have Windows XP, so the paths should be the same.

 

ok new update . i got the new software working on the labtop and put in most of the maps that i can find.

does anyone have a link or a spark table and a fuel VE table ? for a 500cc injectors and for a turbo stock motor. and is this motor considered a 2600cc motor?

here are the tables that i have no idea what to put.these are the titles of each window for inputs..

Cranking/Prime Table
After Start Enrichmeny [ASE] Settings
Spark Settings

rx7 88 turbo 2 motor
stock turbo '10 psi'
550cc injectors trail and leadings
stock fuel pump
narrow band o2
GM air sensor
GM water sensor
ford TPS
modded CAS

having megasquirt run my spark and fuel.

 

update:

guys i got the software in the labtop. however i cant seem to get it to talk to the megasquirt. i checked everything but it says its not connected? before i installed the software it did connect with the old software. guys have any idea why it wouldnt connect now?

 

Click on Communications and check your COM port settings and baud rate. I think when you install Megatune it defaults to COM4 which is likely not your port. Most laPtops use COM1 but you can click the Test button in that window to check if it's communicating on whatever port you chose. If you downloaded ms1 code, the baud rate is 9600. For ms2, it's 15200.

 

i went to the communications window and clicked the connect test connection.
i forgot to list what im using sorry

im using a 9 port serial connection

settings when i tried to test is
COM 1
9600
it worked before as a default setting ... strange to me it wouldnt work this time around =/
thanks scrip 7 ill give that a shot when i get off from school.
