firmware?
is there any way of finding out what version of firmware is on a megasquirt 2.2 board?
The laptop seems to read the squirt OK initialy and we saw the TPS moving on the realtime display - but when we try to change values and save them we
get unable to comunicate errors?

I think the only sure way of knowing which firmware you've got is to re-flash it with a known version. In your case you'd want the latest
MSnSextra, or even better the HiRes version of this.

Are you using a USB - serial cable?.
If so then you may need to adjust some of the timeout settings.
They are on the MS site, see here
Also see here

If you're not seeing any big scary error messages when you start megatune then the firmware is the same version as megatune is configured for,
have a look in settings.ini and msns-extra.ini if you have it.
Does sound like USB-serial converter issue to me, can you confirm if you're using one or not?

The msns-extra.ini (or equivilent) file needs to match the firmware version.
This is when you get the warnings that you describe.
eg for 021s you would rename msns-extra.ini.021s to msns-extra.ini then adjust for your configuration.
