- Plug in the MPGuino via the USB port
- Run the Arduino program, and copy the code into the main space
- Set the port by clicking Tools -> Serial Port -> COM X, where X is the port you plugged the MPGuino into. Mine was COM 4, it could be any number.
- Click the 'Upload to I/O board' in the Arduino program
- If it uploads properly, it'll say so at the bottom of the program, something like Upload complete, sketch size xxxx bytes.
That's it. If you're on a Mac, then for some reason, the file will be too large, and you'll have to delete a little bit from the MPGuino code. You should be fine on Windows though. |
I am pleased to report that the update went well, no issues(thanks to your detailed instructions)! I am even happier to report that this morning I had my first succesful trip to work without it rebooting or freezing while using a screen that shows instant mpg on it!!!!! I still want to give it a little more time to be 100% sure, but it is looking like reflashing the software did the trick in my case
It is amazing how useful that instant feedback really is, I told myself before that I wouldnt miss it, but I was wrong, already on my first trip I have improved my trip mpg! I'll report back in a few days letting you all know how it is doing for me.
McTimson a big THANK YOU goes out to you.
