1.1.80 firmware

[Sprocket]

you need to select 'gear dependant' in 'Boost Control PID Setup' this then activates the 'Gear Dependant refDC table'

[AVP]

that is excactly what i do. But the curve is not coming up.It only has: boost vs TPS/RPM and secondary PWM settings which i have disabled.

[AVP]

i reconfirmed it, once i open 1.1.70 and choose gear or speed depended boost, the tables come up. On 1.1.80, they do not.

i also updated vemstune as well, which i dont think makes a difference.Do others running 1.1.80 have this problem as well? is it a bug?

[AVP]

hasnt any of the developers noticed this???

[Sprocket]

You are right. I was looking at 1.1.81. Why not upgrade to that instead?

[AVP]

well, with the last vemstune i dont have any 1.1.81 config to start with. it only comes with 1.1.80. Where can i find a 1.1.81 to try it?

[mattias]

Just download the 1.1.81 firmware, upgrade to it and figure out if you have any missing settings. The new settings not in 1.1.80 are related to the secondary trigger, so check that out.

ok. thanks

[AVP]

sorry, this might seem silly to you guys, but...

i have downloaded the latest vemstune. I have downloaded extra the 1.1.81firmware. When i try to find a config with the 1.1.81 firmware, i am unable to do so. Also when i try to find a project with the 1.1.81 firmware, again im unsuccesful. What im trying to do is to find a config with 1.1.81 firmware, transfer all the identical settings from the 1.1.27 to it, set the rest manually and upgrade. BUT, all i can find as a starting point is the 1.1.80 config as latest. So...? where should i look? Vemstune does have the 1.1.81 firmware uploaded and installed. I dont have a config to start with though.

what is the difference between a vemsproject and a config? When i start a new project for example, it will allow me to choose 1.1.81, but i have to manually set all parameters(drag and drop does not work). Can a project become a config?


thanks

** On my second attempt, i couldnt save the project as  a config, because it said that firmware is not available!! (but i do have 1.1.81 installed already!!)  obviously im doing something wrong...

Use the firmware web tool - download the firmwares that you want - Make sure its INSTALLED.

Connect your ECU to your laptop - Save configfile (Just File -> Save Config File) - Then firmware upload, and choose the firmware you would like to install (1.1.81) - When its done you'll be asked which configfile you want to upload, then just choose your saved config - Check that all settings seems fine and GO.


Dont forget to unplug all injector connectors, ignitioncoil connectors, fuses for fuelpump etc..

To clarify what Erik meant further..

The actual save process of the old config is automatically done when you commence the firmware upload process, a new .vemscfg file is created in the ECU directory where you have your "VEMS_files" (default is in "My documents\VEMS_files\YourECU-serialxx"). So you should not have to save the config, but it's a good thing to do this one time too many.

When the firmware upload is done, the old config will be uploaded and the missing values not found in your config will be taken from a default config included with the firmware files you downloaded with the web tools. Sometimes the config format is the same as an older firmware, this is obvious when you check the status line in VemsTune, the firmware version is always equal to or later/larger than the version of the configuration file format.

Regarding the injector angles, are the values you enter in Vemstune ATDC or BTDC?

It's degreese of delay from the trigger tooth. So 500 is later in the engine cycle than 250.


I think everyone should try it out, it really makes a big difference!

Can you please explain or link to a writeup explaining how this works further? Like how to calculate this angle for benefit.

Thanks!

So in effect the angle is the cycles afters trigger tooth not TDC , assuming a 720 full cycle cycle for a full event then setting 300 is 300 degrees of the cycle after the hitting the 1st trigger tooth.

And the presumption i've seen from other threads is that 360 degree of the cycle is when the valve opens

Or am I wide of the mark here?
