when you plug in the jimsitm to the MS. run a wire from the second trigger position to pin 32 of the ms3x.

it's pretty simple, want me to take a pic and show you?

Oochi 02-03-2013 02:03 PM

OHH OK! Haha sure a picture would certainly help, if you wouldn't mind. I'm not exactly sure where the 'second trigger position' is that you are referring to.

here, i have my 2nd trigger jumper going to iac1a for all my non-expansion installs. so i use a jumper from iac1a to pin32 (cam in) of the expander to bring the cam signal in when using the stim.

Should I have all of those jumpers installed? Cause I don't have a single one.

Braineack 02-03-2013 04:05 PM

you just need the one.

those were useful back in to day for ms1 and ms2 installs where I could test outputs, I've just never removed them; I suppose I should.

Since everything is running off the ms3x card they are useless, and I need this: JimStimX Expansion Board - Assembled DIYAutoTune.com

Oh ok then hah. I haven't had a chance to test it yet due to school. But I ordered another pot from diy. Hopefully I can get around to messing with it tomorrow and have it going by weekend.

Added the jumper for the 3x cam in, but it's still going crazy. About to replace R56 in a couple minutes.

New pot R56 installed and it's still doing the same. Full counter clockwise, I'm geting .04v across the resistor. and 6-7 turns, I'm getting .09v What is going on here? Am I'm measuring the right place?

I'm assuming you'd want the black lead on a ground and the red lead on the spot where you have the black above.

Oochi 02-08-2013 05:48 PM

Yep, that's what I needed to hear. Got that set to about 2.8V and the max I can get out of R11 is 2.25V at R17 on the expander

Oochi 02-09-2013 04:54 PM

Didn't have a lot of time today, but it seemed to have fixed the sync loss issue. Which I'm super pumped about. I still cant get the idle sorted out without it hunting, and it still has fluttery RPM deceleration.

Braineack 02-09-2013 05:00 PM

are you on the latest firmware? if not what are you on? my idle is flawless.

Oochi 02-09-2013 05:46 PM

1.1 Beta 21. It's probably because my idle settings aren't right. Do you use PWM closed-loop?

Oochi 02-09-2013 05:48 PM

My IACV is also capped because it's constantly open

Oochi 02-09-2013 05:57 PM

aaaand it looks like I'm not on the latest firmware. 1.2.0a is the latest correct?

Braineack 02-09-2013 06:38 PM

yes closed loop and ve idle table and all the jazz.

Oochi 02-11-2013 01:13 AM

Flashed the firmware this morning, fixed the WUE, and now the thing is running amazing! I been driving and tuning all day and I'm so excited that it is running so well now. It is getting poopy gas mileage though

Is the middle red LED supposed to stay on? Mine is on sometimes, sometimes never lights up, and sometimes flashes

Middle LED (assuming you've not re-purposed it for something else), is a WUE indicator.

I.e. when it's on you're in WUE

Oochi 02-13-2013 04:13 PM

Ok that would make sense. And I'm assuming the right one is accel enrichment. Tried to do a couple mid range pulls and it feels kinda sluggish after 3k

Oochi 02-20-2013 05:19 PM

Well now my tunerstudio hangs up on start up. It checks for updates, then says loading fonts or something and then it just hangs up. Tried reinstalling and updating java.
