unable to change mode

[chris69]

I have just installed my new VEMS AFR and EGT guage but the button on th front doesn't appear to work 
Its just stuck on its default display, AFR + internal temp- i want to see an EGT reading goddammit 
the display is working fine other than that, is it a faulty guage maybe???

[rob@vems.co.uk]

For some reason best know only to themselves the people who manufacture and sell VEMS have decided to disable the button in software.
To change the mode you need to connect to a computer via serial port and set the configuration you require using the MegaTune software.

And wot if i have no way of doing this , thats a bad idea imo i best go find a laptop to connect it too.
so wot you saying is i need to kinda activate the guages button so i can scroll through the different readings??

Chris, I know exactly what you're saying mate, and I am furious that they've taken it on themselves to do this without bothering to tell the people doing support that they'd done it.   I'm pretty much done with the whole VEMS project, the only reason I'm still on this forum is because I dont want to let people down.

Fair enough Rob, thanks for the help at least i know its not broken!
any chance you could put a rough guide of how to activate the button? i've been looing at megatune and it looks very complicated considering all i want to do is get the display changeable 

[rob@vems.co.uk]

Well, I'm not sure!  But here's how I'd try it...
First off we need to be using: http://www.vems.hu/download/round/round_2008-02-12.zip
Open MegaTune and setup the communication using the instructions in the User Guide http://www.vems.co.uk/VEMSWB/UserGuide/README.html

From the menu select Settings->Analog Input Settings and in the Button threshold (default: 128) 0:disable change   make sure that the value is greater than 128

No wonder the guy i sold a gauge too, cant get it to work ,


""I'm pretty much done with the whole VEMS project, the only reason I'm still on this forum is because I dont want to let people down.""


I´m really sorry to hear this, this is really bad news,
I must also say that there is a problem with the lacking of info..

The "shit" is, that i have just gotten a new vems, that i´m going to install in a 99´ Impreza, starting this week,
So i can really use the great support that are on this forum, as this ecu is going to be the reference ecu on the Impreza, meaning the one that we will work hard on getting working with the trigger signals

I have lately been reading up on the LinkECU , that i used to use for Impreza´s, and the new G3 have all the fascilitys that i need, and miss in the Vems, like support for Subaru AVCS, and its working straight out hte box, with a manual included when you buy it!

I'll continue to help where ever I can, I just wont be quite so readily available

Much appreciated Rob i'll try that at the weekend when i have a bit of time 
if it works i'll post up so you know

Well I'm at King Of Europe this weekend to see how Cristell Racing's Beast gets on, hopefully should run in the high to mid 7seconds...

I'll check back when I can.

I had same problem and today tried to change the button threshold value, the value was 255 and button did not work, changing the display at computer worked, but after gauge restart it was back at old value. Now I changed value from 255 to 128 and it works Now stays that display what I saved and button also works.
