VEMS firmware versions

[A80Avant]

yes that is what i thought, and i understood that the 1.1.63 will be released sometime after 11/11/09

[Jamo]

On my page It says there is a new version of vemstune to correct the issue in a released version after the date 2009-11-11.

There is a reference to 1.1.63 as the boost tables have been moved to a different section which means the error wouldn't occur again in later firmware either.

[A80Avant]

as it has been updated in Jamo's vems page, version 1.1.63 is going to be released with the correction on kpa vs kpa! yeah!

i have an old toshiba libretto with a docker. its around half the size of the glovebox, runs windows 95 and thats about it.

never tried it with vems. ill stick with the D610.

[A80Avant]

my laptop is old so carries a serial port. eventually im going to keep that for tuning purposes, and get a proper new one in the future

however i do wish there was a possibility to make a small 8inch one with serial port and windows xp. no need of a cd/dvd on it, just a small hard drive and a bit of memory to keep it from crashing.

[GazzaG60]

sure it cant be far off. hopefully not an ecu change though.

VEMS may benifit from the extra bandwidth too of USB.

were a dell house here. i only buy dell now. i currently use a french D610. lol good job i can operate a pc in french.

sure somebody will come up with something soon.

[Jamo]

Or do the intelligent thing and develop a USB connrection

[GazzaG60]

oldies but goodies eh.

i have tested on

dell d600,D610,D620,D630 - all good
ibm with usb -the one martyn had. not good
toshiba satalite, sat pro. old grey and old blach ones - 4200 series 4090, they work too.

problems with vems will come next 2 years as old laptops die and we are stuck with usb. vems need a good usb box like LINKECU.

[Jamo]

To be honest it doesn't crash when entering fields on my old laptop I have for mapping / vagcom it's more stable

[Bram]

VEMStune crashes even without being connected to the ECU. Maybe it's time for me to check out the linux version of VEMStune

[GazzaG60]

when i visited martyn the big issue was the usb-serial coverter. as soon as the engine is started it crashed. if it didn't crash the gauge response was nova speed not S2.

it works better with older laptops and clean serial.

[A80Avant]

well,
went down to the car for some small changes and thought of connecting vemstune to the ecu and see how it works.i had the 1.1.27 firmware uploaded, it connected nicely and i managed to download the msq into a vemscfg file now.

while operating the car, the spark gauge was not working though. at the beggining it did some crashing,but once i reloaded vemstune it managed to stay on.

[A80Avant]

aha! see, that may be that for some reason the 2/10 version seems to be doing something to it.

in mine the 2/10 version seems to be doing some freezing as well as not loading up the 1.1.27 project.

[Bram]

I have the same things done as Jamo. Installed correctly, I get the RPM/kpa tables correct, but VEMStune freezes and dies just randomly. I will keep racing on 1.1.27 for now

[A80Avant]

quick post it on vems wiki, so at least it gets fixed at the same time!

why is it that the more i think about it the more i feel sticking to the 1.1.27 seems a good idea....

im all for improvement,just as long as it works!
