ms wont datalog??

Post by isaacson06 »

So ive finally got ms talking with my laptop the only problem now is it wont read any of my sensors i have the tps hooked up but it wont read but if i turn the power off and hold the throttle open then turn power back on it will read where its at when the power gets turned back on but if you let off throttle it just says where it was ??? its like the computer talks once to the ms and then doesnt read anymore but the tunerstudio says good connection. any help would be great thanks

issacson06,

Usually this is caused by one of two things:

- the incorrect INI file is being used. This kills the serial communications after a short while, and the returned values appear to freeze. So make sure you are using the correct INI (more here: http://www.useasydocs.com/details/usv3code.htm )

- Your serial communications aren't reliably: Check these tips: http://www.useasydocs.com/details/connect.htm

Thanks lance I've tried loading the new enbbed code and now I can't get that to load so now when I try to connect to the ms it says it's found it on com1 but theres no firmware loaded ?? I tried to do just the ini file with no luck. So now back to the enbbed code I'm hooked up though USB to serial is that a problem ? Lance thanks again for your help
