yes i know they have a board to ask questions on but i want to ask here since some people have used it.

so here is the problem, in the megasquirt configurator i cant activate the megasquirt-1.ini needed to run the megasquirt. i downloaded the latest version and everything but it still wont work. anyone know what is wrong?

why are you using megasquirt-1.ini. You could be activating at **least** 029q or the brand new 029v by now. This is MS+Se right?

download the files, run “copyini” and and “download-firmware(w/pin jumpered etc)” – you must then activate the new code(029q/v) – that shoudl get you going.
