MS Extra Code now loaded
Over the last day or so (on and off) ive been playing with my megasquirt (i can hear you giggling).
It seems that there are ways of controlling boost as well as Nitrous by utilising the existing outputs, to the detriment of "Nice to haves"
such as Fast Idle control etc. The FIDLE output would be the output for controlling a boost solenoid.
Ive also spent most of tonight changing over my laptop because i broke my old one this afternoon. Having done this, i thought i should really get the
megasquirt software on and make sure it all talks together. So ive been doing this, and whilst doing so realised how easy it would to upgrade the
megasquirt firmware / bootloader software from MS2 to MS2/Extra.
Anyway, long story short, its all done. I found a problem with the stimulator unit that i need to get sorted out but other than that, its all
done.

Spec of my ECU is now;
MS2.2 Main board
V3.1 Daughter Board and chip
V2.1.0d Firmware with EXTRA code
And ill be using MegaTune 2.25 to get it all going.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Planning on Megasquirting the Mondeo?? 
Ive got a blog on the Renault forum HERE.
Its not a complete breakdown of steps, but more of an update for the renault guys. Supercharging instead of turbocharging is an interesting
experiment for them.
In all seriousness too, dont be scared of it. The megamanual is really confusing, but all you need to understand is what you have when you get it, by
playing with the software and ECU. Youll need a stim for this, but its well worth the play time.
My advice would be to get one thats already built, and as up to date as possible to start with. The newer versions get easier in terms of
functionality settings etc.
