Chaoticmass Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 My megasquirt is all wired up, and I'm ready to load a base map and stuff-- but megatune won't talk to the MS. As far as I know I have things right on the laptop, COM1, good serial cable, etc. Hook it up, go into Communication settings in Megatune, select COM1, default baud, hit test.... nothing. Also, I am assuming that the MS needs power if you want to talk to it. So I turn the key to ON, I hear the fuel pump run, relays click, Injector light flashes ONCE on the MS-- but no communication. I'm going to check my laptop at work tomorrow. See if I can use the laptop's serial port to communicate with some Cisco network equipment (I know how to talk to a cisco router over serial, so if that doesn't work then I know something is up with my laptop). Any tips? Know of a guide or FAQ I missed that has information I need? This part is supposed to be magical and 'just work'. Of course it never works out that way.

mobythevan Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 The most obvious thing is that you need the correct type of serial cable, the manaul tells you which one, there are two types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
