Okay so I downloaded MPScan, downloaded the update for it. Where do I find the config file it asks for? For the grid I mean.
Okay so I downloaded MPScan, downloaded the update for it. Where do I find the config file it asks for? For the grid I mean.
-select -> setups - grid - new - open a lst file (created when u compile).
-press insert and select the ram locations (* means preconfigured) set other settings if needed.
-set the display order (1-12 i think for each gauge type - been awhile!)
-save
-select -> display - grid
should show u the grid u created. press record.
i never got it to work very well using the usb stuff, always used the 9600 baud serial converter. couple things i needed to do in the com routines for the usb stuff that i never got done (basically some purging commands which the old vb6 made kinda difficult).
Hmm, well I've about halfway got it lol. When I get my ftdi cable I'll play around w/ it some more, get it figured out. Can't figure out how to setup the gauges, and where I load a grid under display it only shows one slot?
the grid under display will only show those ram locations in which there was a display order AND a short name setup in the grid setup screen. The gauges are a fixed gauge style for each TYPE of gauge. you'll see once u get it working.
btw, i think you will like version 2 alot better. i have the usb stuff working well. plus, it allows custom graphs/skins to be used as well as being able to place the graphs where u want vs a fixed location (similar to logworks3). i probably won't have it done until late june sometime (i hope).
No - MPScan v2. All that MPTune v2 does is allows u to edit the .asm file ram locations (scanner setup) that will be used by MPScan. MOST people will never use this other than Rob when he sets up/modifies the .asm file.
btw, do u use the bin stacker to burn the chip also? what do u have for a burner?
No, I haven't tried the burning feature yet. I am using a Moates Burn2. I wasn't sure the burn function in MPTuner2 was working.
BTW I didn't see anything marked w/ a * in grid setup.
ok - i'm getting confused :-)
mptuner (v1) does NOT support the burn2
MPTune (v2) will support the burn2
MPBinstacker currently supports the burn2
MPScan (v1) - when u open the grid setup screen, click new, and load up a .lst file, and press the insert key to add an ecu location, the drop down list shows u all the ram locations. any locations that rob has preset up will show with an "*" in front of the location name.
MPScan (v2) - still working on it!!
This is what I did, but none of what popped up had an asterisk on it.MPScan (v1) - when u open the grid setup screen, click new, and load up a .lst file, and press the insert key to add an ecu location, the drop down list shows u all the ram locations. any locations that rob has preset up will show with an "*" in front of the location name.
Here is what I am currently doing:
Make a set of cals w/ MPTuner (v1)
Put them into a stack using MPBinstacker in MPTuner (v2)
Burn it to a chip w/ a Burn2 using the TunerPro Flash & Burn program
do u have the latest version of the binstacker program? it should allow u to burn directly to the chip using a burn2. the way u can tell is to have your burn2 plugged in the usb and when u start the binstacker program it should give u a message on the bottom that it found it. if u get that message u can directly read/write the chip using mpbinstacker by clicking the match icon for burn (cute huh!) or the glasses icon for read.
i uploaded the mpbinstacker programs to the first post under the mptuner discussion in case u need them.
I dunno, I'm just using the stacker in the MPTuner V2 prototype I got from you several months ago. I'll get the one from the MPTuner thread and try it.

Yeah that's the screen, but nothing has the * on it. I'm using the latest T-LM version, maybe he doesn't have that set up for it.
thought i would bump this to let everyone know that i released ver 2 a while back. its set up a bit differently but does seem to work well with the usb and rs232 stuff. i got a bit of tweaking to do but i'll add to it as requests come in. just read thru the help. i included several gauge layouts and am open to creating others. the gauges can be modified quite a bit. just need to play with it.
lmk what ya think.

I gotta get a new laptop/netbook and start using this...
thought i would post a screen shot fwiw. shows all the current gauge types. each gauge can be completely customized as far as colors, fonts, formats, etc.

I like it!
OK I've gone through and setup the table pulled from MPTune. I setup the dashboard and have that all ready to go. Now when I try to open up a program to log I don't have the option to pick a MPc only a MPI. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? How do I open up a dashboard to log?
Hmm, I'm not seeing it either...
EDIT: Ohhh, I see now. You have to have a valid port or it assumes you're not going to log and only lets you open a previously recorded session. Plug in the FTDI cable BEFORE opening MP Scan 2...
Ah, makes sense. I'll have to give it a whirl tomorrow. BTW the flash module is awesome. I don't know why anyone would bother pulling the chip out and messing with a burner.
