I took my MS2 card, swapped it into my 2.2 board, and did nothing else..no changes needed. It fired up and ran pretty darn good. Needs lots of retuning, but after a few adjustments, it was idling smooth. So there ya go, go get a MS2 and run it.

Thanks for the link Matt, will try out the new code today.
I also have another question, I been using the 029q2 firmware and yesterday I tried 3 hrs to upgrade to 029v, but my stupid laptop is annoying me.
I am just wondering, after I swap the MSII chip in, and upgrade to the firmware posted above, does it equivalent to the 029v feature? Or just totally different?

Thanks.
Gil

I just unplugged my MSv3.0 into my apart, swap the MSII chip on, put on the STIM, and power it up, with the onboard BOOT pin off, and with the MSII chip bootpin on. (MSII chip comes with no firmware) then I go on to the MS site to get the downloader 1.04, and I open the program, pick the com and pick the firmware MATT posted up.
Then when it try to write, it keep saying error, time out!
IT won't work!
Seems like my V3.0 board won't work with the MSII chip... I have no clue!
And the 3 LED doesn't light up when I power it up, I am lost guys!
Please Help.

First off, are you using a straight serial port on your computer, or are you using a USB-serial adaptor? If you use an adaptor, you MUST go into your computer device manager and set the com port you are using, to the correct baud rate.(you have to set it in Megatune as well)MS2 baud rates are different from MS1!! If you have buffer control sliders, set those to the most minimum as well. Put the jumper on the bootloader pins on the MS2 card(do not use the V3 board jumper), power the MS on, then off, then turn it back on and leave it on. Use the MS downloader, and get the .s19 in the zip you downloaded. It should work and download the code. For the MT configurator, create a new project file, and set the code for normal MS2. Be sure to put the .ini file into the MT mtcfg directory, then use the MT configurator and click the plus sign next to MT2.25, then highlight the MS2 Extra ini file, then go up to- file-activate. Be sure to put the same ini file into your new project folder mtcfg director as well.

There are 2 board versions of the MS2 daughercard. Do you have the blue or green one? The blue one is the latest version..

There has only been one tester using the V3 board, and he had issues of it not even reading rpm. It may have been a setting issue, we havent figured it out yet. All i know is that my 2.2 board works fine with the MS2 Extra code so far..

Thanks for the heads up Matt.
To me seems like the MSII is green comparing to the blue jumper. (I got this over a year ago)
Also can you tell me what band rate you using for the MSII?
I am using a PCMCIA serial card. and it works fine when I read it using MSI chip, and flash with MSI firmware...just MSII is not communicating.

I will try again tomorrow with the dedicated band rate. I tried using 9600 and 115200.

Thanks.
Gilbert

MS2 MUST be set for 115200 baud rate. I'm not sure on this, but you may have to search the MS2 forums for the downloader for your MS2 card. You have the "old" version of the card, and it may require a differnt downloader program..
