Updating settings from the configurator to the MJLJ unit

Post by Patriq »

Car started with newly built engine without any troubles. (will present car later on)
MJLJ unit is V3 with aux input for water temperature, running latest firmware and with latest configurator software for V3.

With MJLJ connected, when I update some settings, the buttons 'write configuration' and 'commit to flash' light up. But if I for instance change the advance correction settings. None of these buttons light up. Are these setting changes immediately flashed to the MJLJ unit ?

Secondly, the aux input - water temperature gauge works nicely. But, the gauge goes from 0 dgs to 250 dgs Celcius. And the water only reaches just above 100 dgs Celcius. I tried the Scaling factor setting, but that only enables to extend the interval. If I try scaling factor of 0.5 to reduce the interval - only integers of 1 are accepted. How can I set the gauge to only show up to say 120 dgs Celsius ?

And, I also tried to enter a negative value for the scaling of the aux input to enable water temperatures below Zero. Also here I discovered that negative values weren't accepted.

Well, from trial and error - I discovered that the write button needs to be pressed at the dialog windows for the settings I was talking about in order to exit them properly and reatin the changes in settings I've done.
Which answer that question.

But, for the gauge scale and negative values I hope there can be done something about this.

Hi Patriq-

That's correct. You have to explicitly write the new values after changing them in the table.

The software scaling doesn't currently allow negative numbers- only simple positive scaling off of the base 0-255 value that the processor provides in the datalogging stream. This is on the list for a future software version!
