![]() I'm trying to get my megajolt up and running and I've run into some problems. So far I've only got the power, earth, pip, & saw wired up. I then connected the power & earth to a 12v battery to try and bench test it and get it connecting to my laptop ok. The light on the back of the megajolt comes on indicating it has power. I've installed the latest version of software (v4.02) and started up the software. I then checked the device manager and found it running on com 3 so I switched it to com 3 in the megajolt software. I then start getting loads of microsoft visual c++ runtime errors

![]() I think my problem is definately the serial to usb cable that came from trigger wheels with the MJ. Has anyone else has similar problems and know where I can get a more compatible cable? I don't have an old laptop or a desktop that has a serial port so my only option is to get it working over usb

![]() I reckon this thread will end up long enough to get her indoors to darn my socks with it.I had a problem like this with the emerald cams ecu and it was a combination of the laptop and operating system not being compatible with their software.It took weeks just to work that out.

![]() Ya that's what I dreading, when you look on the autosports labs forums, there's literally 1000's of threads about similar problems

![]() Cheap fleabay laptop with built in serial cables showed up today. Plugged the MJ in on a 9v battery and it worked straight away. Just goes to show how rubbish & unreliable the serial to usb cables are. I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone waste their money on them, even when they come from somewhere "guaranteed" to work like Trigger Wheels
