ive cut and pasted the what here of the forum help page and followed the instuctions ie mjlj off and then power on but never got that far !!

Hope this makes sence lee.

Hi Lee,

It seems in your message that the latest 3.2.1 configuration software is currently working with your controller?

Try checking the controller firmware version by clicking Help/About in the configuration software. (make sure the MJLJ is connected and powered on)

I'm suspecting you might already have the latest 3.2.1 firmware!

Let us know what you find out.

Hi Brent,

Version 3.0.0 configuration software is currently working with my controller. I do not have tps calibration and the other new functions.

the curcuit board 3.0.0 with tps

When i had the latest configuation software it would work untill i powered up the mjlj , then a box came up on the screen telling me what firmware i needed i.e. 3.2.1 ,we have tried but could not change to the latest 3.2.1 firmware! im sure it would work if i had a clue.

YOU ARE OUR LAST HOPE OB1 KONOBI. use the force.

thanks lee

Very well.

How far along the upgrade guide ( http://www.autosportlabs.net/3.2.x/2.8. ... rade_guide ) did you get until you had a problem?

After you issue the command to upgrade the firmware, what is the response you see? What error messages are being reported, if any?

Are you using a USB-Serial adapter?

Any ideas , im using the cable i got with the mjlj, also burnt it to disc and got the same message Lee

Hi Lee,

Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, starting from the beginning of the upgrade guide. (linked in my previous post)

In the 4th step (here: http://www.autosportlabs.net/V3.2.x_/_2 ... ware_image ) it calls for you to issue the upgrade with the correct COM port and name of upgrade file.

Give that a go and let us know how far you get.

We have a result , when i downloaded the files i stored them in the wrong place. once that was corrected we had no problem (computers and me not a good combination) thanks very much for all the help. lee

glad u got it working..
what do u mean u had the files in the wrong place? surely the files can be saved anywhere assuming u link to them in the upgrade??

I did not link the files that was the problem , when you are computer iliterate like me the easy things are hard to do !!! learning all the time. lee
