The wiring is now at a state where the ECU, GCU and dash can all be programmed etc. Obviously the map is already in the ECU but some auxiliary sensors needed configuring aswell as inputs from the GCU and outputs to the dash. I first tried to install the software for the dash, this all went well until trying to install the usb drivers! This then took about six hours. I have now worked out how to do it (the documentation just assumes it works)! Then the GCU. Once the ash had been installed the GCU usb drivers suddenly started working aswell. I think the dash had just messed everything up! Now the ECU. There was an instant problem with this in that when I plugged in the download cable it would connect and the disconnect continuously! A thought struck me so I disconnected the loom and used the dyno loom and all was well. I then thought that perhaps the dash was messing up, as it had caused a few problems already! I disconnected it and suddenly everything started working!
But only after trying the second computer! However after updating to the latest ECU software, as I didnt have the correct version to suit what was in the ECU, it stopped again! I then went into the dash software and fiddled around and it all started working again! However, the dash is connected to the ECU to display/log things over the CAN network. I have done this before on a customers car using the exact same hardware and it all seems fine, but I ran out of time as I had to finish off the Lotus for the Britcar 500! thats all done now, and we will be out next weekend!
