Cant get turbo edit 2.6.1 and ostrich 2.0 to talk.......
 

I have 4 usb ports on my laptop and they are all set to com port 6. I dont know how this is gona work with my usb data loger and my new ostrich? They cant both be on com6 can they?

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

reassign the com ports

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Ok sounds good.....lol Now how do i do that. Btw its a toshiba laptop with xp on it if that helps at all

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

I'm sure there are other ways but i'm computer illiterate this is what I do:

Start, right click over My Computer
Select Properties
Click Hardware Tab
Click Device Manager button
Click the + beside Ports in the tree
Double Click the name of the device you want to change the port for
Click the Port Settings Tab
Click the Advanced Button
Change the Port number

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Not likely. XP (and likely the dog named Vista) won't assign two different devices the same port number. What should happen is anytime you plug a certain device into a certain port it will always come up as the same COM port, unless you change COM ports like Tim mentions. If you plug the same certain device into a different port it will generate a new COM port for that device, and anytime you plug that device in it will come up as that port. It's real easy for me to generate 60+ COM ports by having eight different USB-serial devices and three USB ports, since some software is only designed for COM1 or COM1-4 (1-8, 1-16, 1-32, etc) I had to clean that ---- out a while back. Now I have a certain port I plug certain cables into and haven't had to reassign anything recently.

Why don't you plug both Ostrich and datalogger in and see what COM ports are assigned?

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

I will, But I havent had a chance to even mess around with my new ostrich in yet. Im gona be doing a little fine tuning on a friends car on monday and I want to kinda figure it all out before I try it out and end up smashing my laptop in my driveway....lol

Im not a very computer savy person. I can surf the web, burn chips and open up te, crome, freelog, and ecucontrol....lol and thats about it. Thanks for the help guys

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

You have a confusing couple hours you need to spend before this stuff starts really clicking, but it isn't a whole lot harder than what you can already do. Hit us up if you run into a problem, holmes.

Thanks Mang ;)

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

ok so I did some tuning today on his car. Everything was ok, but I couldnt get my ostrich 2.0 to conect to turbo edit 2.6 But I did get it to conect to turbo edit 3.1.9 Did my tuning everything was ok, untill I saved the file on my computer, went to burn it to a chip, put the chip in ant it threw a solid cel. I tried it again, same results. ???

I think it has somthing to do with te 3.1.9

So I copyed the fuel, and timing maps, and saved it to a differnt file. burned it to a chip and it was ok. ???


So now my question is how do setup my ostrich 2.0 to te 2.6? I was reading on moates and it said I had so set the baud rate to 920000. In te 2.6 the highes I can set it is 128000
when I try to conect I get

*** Looking for Ostrich..
*** Looking for Ostrich..
*** Looking for Ostrich..
*** Looking for Ostrich..
*** Looking for Ostrich..
*** Unable to locate Ostrich. Something's wrong.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

You can't make a v2.0 work with TE 2.x, as you noted the baud rate isn't high enough.

What chips are you burning?

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

27SF512


Well after doing some more searching, people are saying i need to downgrade my firmware to 10.10.0 So i think im gona have to contact moates to get it because I cant find it.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Here's crome 1.2

http://www.tunewithcrome.com/download/crome1.2.zip


Here's all other crome downloads they have
http://www.tunewithcrome.com/download/

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Are you burning to 0x8000? You have to burn the last half of the 27SF512 when using it on a Honda ECU.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

yep, im burning at 8000.

But the problem isnt in the burn. Turbo edit 3.1.9 beta I think is ------- up the file when I save it.

But what im trying to figure out is how to conect turbo edit 2.6 and ostrich 2.0

I asked moetes for firmware 10.10.0 Hopfully the can get that to me and it will solve all my problems.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

thanks man

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

you're welcome

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Possible. Have you tried to download the .bin directly from the Ostrich with any of Mark Mansur's software? He has an Ostrich dumper somewhere on the Tunerpro site,
IIRC.

The only time I've ever used TE it was either v2.4 or v2.6, and I used my Ostrich v2.0 via TunerproRT. Give it a whirl.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Well this is the email I sent moates,

So I have a turbo edit 2.6.1 and a ostrich 2.0 and it wont conect to turbo edit.
So one of my questions is that I cant set my baud rate to 920000 like it says to in your documentation. It has 4 settings.
9600
19200
38400
128000

Now I did try a new beta version of turbo edit 3.1.9 and it worked but it crashes.
Now I was told that I need to get firmware 10.10.0 but I cant find it on your site.


And this is what they wrote back:

If you can't set your baud rate to 925000 you will need a different version of TurboEdit that allows this setting. The Ostrich2 requires this.
Firmware: http://www.moates.net/documentation....entation_id=22 (I don't think that will fix your problem)
thanks,
-Dave Blundell



So it sounds like that I cant run turbo edit 2.6.1 and the ostrich 2.0 :X
Well that ------- sucks

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Download TunerPro, use it to control the Ostrich. You'll get to save the .bin in TE, open and upload with TunerPro, but it's still a LOT faster than burning chips.

Here's a TunerPro definition I came up with, it supports nothing except loading a .bin and flashing it to an Ostrich, literally did it on the side of the road in three minutes. Remove the .txt from the end of the file before usage. :)

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Well thanks for you help JD, im gona give it a shot here in a few weeks. He will be back in town than and I can maybe try some more tuning then. Bu im just kinda bumbed that I cant use my ostrich like it was ment to be used. :-\ O well. But all I realy need to tune now is his crazy idle. But I told him to come back when ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED......lol

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Describe crazy idle, please.

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

so you could connect then when you saved the file it corrupted it and you couldnt connect to the ostrich again? as far as the error...it sends a command to the ostrich and if it doesnt see anything back after 10 tries you will get the something is wrong error.

if you have trouble with the tunerpro stuff, i would try 3.1.7 or 3.1.8 to see if you can connect with those....a rough first try at downloading the rom off the ostrich was added to 3.1.9 and something could have been messed up. i used 3.1.9 for a few months before i stored the car for the winter and never had a problem. this was all while logging my lc1/tc4 into ecucontrol through one usb port, logging everything else with ecucontrol in another usb port and making changes on the ostrich with another usb port all at the same time.

i have heard of one other person having trouble connecting using TE, but they can connect using BRE...but it takes 45-60 seconds to connect. TE will time out well before that...

Re: Cant get turbo edit 2.6.1 and ostrich 2.0 to talk.......
 

Check this link for the lastest version of TE.

http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=15233

If you want to stay with TE 2.6, I made a fix for 920000baud in 2007

http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=14452

I didnt test with Ostrish 2 tho. Its hard to test it since I don't have it :P

Re: Well how the hell do I separate my usb ports?
 

Well it would jump from 750ish to 2000ish and it would sit at say 1100 and the afr would be steady at 11 and then shoot to 18, and it would do that for no reason. then sometimes it would sit a 750 and go from 11 to 18 and then after a bit the idle would hunt up and down from 750 to 2000. I asked if he had set his icv and he said "we did a little" WTF did you or didnt you adjust it....lol It was also throwing a code 10 and a cod 6, and this was a obd0 pr4



Thats the one I have and It keeps crashing
Cool I will try that one

Re: Cant get turbo edit 2.6.1 and ostrich 2.0 to talk.......
 

2.6.1 doesn't work. Well maybe it does, but I tried everything. Actually started a post here about a year ago. Someone told me he could only get 2.5.5 to work. Tried it worked first try.


you have to use 2.5.5 or 3.1+ . Regardless it works perfect on the newest ver. 3.1.9

Re: Cant get turbo edit 2.6.1 and ostrich 2.0 to talk.......
 

do you use an ostrich2...if so what baud rate do you use (128000 or 920000)?

Re: Cant get turbo edit 2.6.1 and ostrich 2.0 to talk.......
 

yes, ostrich 2.

I'm pretty sure I used every combination trying to get it to work one day.
