trwebb26 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 ASSUMING the error is with your adapter: From the MS&SE manual: http://www.msextra.com/manuals/MS_Extra_Tuning_Manual.htm#software "If using a USB adaptor and you are finding communications is intermittent try setting the Received Buffer and Transmitted Buffer values lower (these can be found in Device Manager – Ports), I have found setting them as low as they will go can help cure problems." I also reccomend to make a brand new MSQ file from scratch. They seem to get corrupt after a certain amount of time for some reason which can lead to all kinds of crazy problems.

Matt Cramer Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Is that our external USB adapter or the internal DLP-TXRX circuit board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280tyler Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 the external USB adapter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cramer Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 You might want to try reinstalling MegaTune, as this problem sounds like it's with the PC rather than the Megasquirt. Also make sure you don't have anything that could be causing the adapter to wiggle - this often makes MegaTune do strange things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
