Article: How to Setup and Burn SST Chips with Crome Tuning Software |
|
First, make sure you have the Moates
BURN1 or BURN2 Chip Burner as pictured here: |
|
|
|
Next, download the FREE VERSION of
Crome PRO from www.tunewithcrome.com
and install it on the computer you plan to use. |
|
The current version at the time of
writing this is available at the following link: |
|
|
|
Next Download and Install the FTDI
Drivers for your computer from this link: |
|
http://www.moates.net/cd/USB%20Device%20Drivers/CDM_Setup%20Auto-Installer.exe |
|
These are AUTO INSTALLING Drivers so
that when you plug in the HARDWARE for the first time, the drivers will
install themselves if using XP or Vista. |
|
There is a VISTA SPECIFIC GUIDE that
may be helpful for VISTA Users here: |
|
http://www.moates.net/manuals/DriverInstallationVista.pdf |
|
After you have installed the Drivers,
plug in the Chip Burner to a USB PORT on your computer. The cable should be plugged into both the
chip burner and the laptop or desktop you are using. You should hear (if your volume is up) the
Windows BEEP when it recognizes there is a piece of hardware plugged in and
you should see a notification that your drivers are being installed and then
another notifications when the Device is ready to use. |
|
|
|
|
|
Once you see these notifications, go
into your DEVICE MANAGER. |
|
Goto START, Right Click on MY COMPUTER
and Choose Properties |
|
|
|
In the PROPERTIES Screen, Click on the
HARDWARE tab and then click on Device Manager |
|
|
|
This will then show you what COM PORT
# your Burner has been Assigned. You
can see on my computer it is COM5 |
|
|
|
Right Click on the COM, and choose
PROPERTIES. Click on the PORT SETTINGS
Tab and choose ADVANCED which opens this screen. |
|
|
|
Make sure the LATENCY TIMER is set to “1”
instead of 16 which is the default value. |
|
Now, ok or close all of those windows
and unplug the device and then plug it back in. This resets everything and as long as you
plug it back into the same USB spot, it will always assign the same COM Port
# |
|
Next open up the Crome Software and
choose the file you want to burn. If
you don’t have a file already create a new (covered in a different write-up). |
|
Crome should look like this: |
|
|
|
Next, go into Crome SETTINGS |
|
|
|
Click on the Real Time Programming Tab,
and your settings should resemble mine here: |
|
|
|
I use a BURN1, so my BAUD is 115200,
if you are using a BURN2, your Baud should be 920000. You can also click on DETECT CONNECTION,
and Crome should automatically set these values for you but it is best to
know how to set them yourself in case.
Once Detect Connection shows “SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTED TO ECU” you are
good to go. Close that window and go
to the main page. |
|
|
|
Next, click on the little CHIP in the
top right corner. |
|
|
|
And it drops down the area where you
See Above as GRAB, BURN, and the SST icon.
If you are using SST chips, make sure the SST ICON is depressed like
it shows on my screen captures. |
|
To burn the chip, simply click on the
BURN Icon and watch it scroll across the screen. |
|
|
|
Once it is done burning, it will
verify and tell you that your chip has burned successfully. |
|
|
|
You are DONE! |
|
Happy Tuning, |
|
