Re: 5V ---> 6.3V

if there's a leak or short from the 12V rail across to the 5V wouldn't I have 12V on the 5 volt rail, not 6.3? where is that 6.3 number coming from? The regulator will be trying to bring the 12V output down to 5V (and it may be partially succeeding). As well, even if the regulator wasn't there, but...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, Plug straight into the GPIO serial port to grab the relevant parameters into an msq.

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, The msq you posted doesn't have the mshift variables in it.

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, I still don't know exactly what is going on, but the last log helped. The attached code and INI should narrow it down some more. The INI has some renamed options for the port switching, so you might get some errors that tell you to reset some of the input configuration settings when you load yo...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, One more quick question: did you cycle the power after loading your MSQ? Some changes require a power cycle (ie. once after loading the code, then again after loading the MSQ). This power cycle is hard to avoid on a running car which starts/stops all the time, but it's easy to forget the second...

Re: microTCU

tobmag, Bruce and Al (who were setting up the production side) haven't said anything about the microTCU in the last year, so the most reasonable assumption is that the microTCU has been still-born (like the Sequencer and Precision Wideband Controller before it, there were a few iterations of prototy...

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, Was this log made with exactly the same settings as the MSQ file you posted previously? If so, let me know. If not, please post the MSQ that you were using at the time.

Re: AA80E 8-speed

Jim, here is some test code. It probably won't fix any issues, but it has several diagnostic snippets in it that should help narrow the problems down. If you could try this code (even without running the car) and post the msq and a datalog, plus a concise explanation of any problems you encounter (i...

Re: 5V ---> 6.3V

It could be the regulator, or it might be that you have more than 5V (such as a 12V source) connected to the 5V supply downstream of the regulator. Did you follow the transstim build instructions here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/v2 ... build.html ?
