Have I buggered my MS?
scudderfish - 30/4/10 at 01:04 PM

I'm not having a good day. Thought I'd try my EDIS without the MS connected to see if I could get it to do something in limp home mode. No joy. Plug my MS back in and it no longer wants to play. Using TunerStudio mini console it comes up with

Boot>

If I press 'X' to exit the bootloader, I get

X - Reset Vector Invalid


Bugger.

reflash the MS (i.e. reinstall the code).

It can get confused sometimes.

I use Easytherm to do this (just use the Download to MS) but depending on the version there will be other ways.

I bet it sorts itself out.

Thanks for the optimism. I'm feeling quite low about my progress and abilities at the moment so a different perspective is helpful. Not helpful is the miserable song on 6Music right now.

I have had more moments like that than joyful building ones. Get someone in to help you. It will do wonders for your frame of mind.

At his point, you can't help thinking about how much of a waste of money and time it all is, but you have to put that out of your mind and move forward - because it isn't true!

My own lack of skills is the biggest drawback for me. I often pick up parts and think 'huh?'. I am just trying to view the whole project as learning experience! I have learn't sooooooooooo much so far.

If I get really pissed off I take a couple of days off. Seems to help lots.

Reminds me of a geeky joke

Linux is free, if your time is worthless.

Haven't tried it for a while then... I'm twice as productive using Linux compared to windows.

Had a small email conversation with Phil @ ExtraEFI, and he told me how to reflash it. It needed a full fat reflash, but it's talking to TunerStudio again now

Nice one.

I am with you on the Linux thing.

Only build a kit car if your enjoy the process.
Only go megasquirt if you enjoy the process.


If you just need to get from A to B, then a 2nd hand Fiesta is better in every way. But wheres the fun in that.

About once a year I make an effort to change over to Linux at home, and after a few days of banging my head against a wall trying to get various bits of hardware and software to work correctly (or even at all), it gets scrubbed and Windows XP goes back on.
