Hooking Lm1 up to flashscan v2

[joecar]

I don't know the colours of the wires the LM-1 has...

Read the Readme_First.pdf from the May 19th update over a few times... you should be fine.

I have a LM-1 configured for both analog and serial and without proper V2 voltage offsets it is not accurate. With those adjustments it is very good.
I urge you to go serial.

i am doing it right now but mylast update is v2_4_70ffw. where do i get the required
v2_4_72ffw at?

[Aint Skeered]

i am still on boot block 2.04.10

Where do i start?

Unzip the May 19th update to a folder, and copy the contents of that folder to C:\My Programs\EFILive

this will update folder V7.5 add a new folder V8 and the file Readme_First.pdf...

if you now look in folder C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5 you will see the file FSProg_V2_4_72.ffw and the programming tool for it.

The Readme_First.pdf has instructions for this.

Do step 1. and report back...

Upgrading the boot block and firmware of your FlashScan device:

The following steps, described in detail in the next few pages are required.

If you have already performed any of theses steps during previous beta updates you do not need to perform them again. Simply start from the first step that you have not performed yet.

If FlashScan has boot block V2.04.xx or earlier, please perform these steps:
1. Program firmware V2.04.72. <---- see below
2. Use FlashScan’s menu option to upgrade the boot block to V2.05.08.
3. Program firmware V2.05.17(0519).



How to program the V2.04.72 firmware:

IMPORTANT:
You only need to perform this firmware upgrade if you have not already upgraded to V2.04.72 firmware. You must install firmware V2.04.72 before you can upgrade FlashScan’s boot block to V2.05.08.

1. Connect FlashScan to your PC while holding down the Ctrl button on FlashScan's keypad. That will put FlashScan into dead-poll mode ready for reprogramming.2. Run the FlashScan Firmware Programmer from Windows:
Start menu->All Programs->EFILive V7.5->Update FlashScan V2 Firmware.

3. Load the FlashScan Firmware File: \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\FSProg_V2_4_72.ffw

4. Click the [Program] button and wait for FlashScan to restart.
While the firmware is being programmed a "percentage complete" counter will be displayed from 0% to 100%. Sometimes that counter may "freeze", however the reprogramming process will continue. It should be complete in less than 20 seconds. A dialog box indicating success will be displayed when the programming is complete.

When I saved the zip folder , it went to my desk top. Do I just drag it into my efi live7.5 file? or copy it from desk top to efi live 7.5 . Same thing I think.

[joecar]

Right click on the zip folder and select extract all to a new folder (in case it screws up)...
and then copy the contents of the new folder to C:\Program Files\EFILive.

[extracting is like copying the zip folder's content files... when they leave the zip they get "extracted"]

[Aint Skeered]

Ok , I will try that.
