Cant communicate with Megajolt
carlknight1982 - 30/8/13 at 07:29 PM

I cant get my pc to talk to my megajolt, ive tried several cables and several usb to serial adapters its just not having it,

the reason i want to look at it is my Acewell dash is reading my RPM about 1200 RPM higher than it is, and occasionally 200rpm without the engine running

Ideas guys

I am sure Pekwah1 had the same problem, but not sure how he fixed it, (if he did)

Your not set up for 6 cylinders or something like that are you?

What cables have you tried?

Did any of the cables come with a driver CD or are you using other drivers from the web?

I think you have to configure the USB to be port 1 if you are using a usb to serial

Ive done that its just not communicating

I have an old laptop with a serial port - been keeping it for when I get my megasquirt installed, your welcome to borrow it if you run out of ideas with usb convertors.

I will try & plug it in tomorrow to make sure it still works.

Only problem I have ever had is with COM port
Either its floating and changes ever time or is using a COM port number higher than 10
