I bought a G1 adapter from Moates.net.
http://www.moates.net/product_info.p...products_id=41

I put a .bin file on the chip in my pocket programmer 2 and verified it as well. The .bin is on the chip properly.

I disconnected battery.
I dropped the hush panel
I dropped the ECM and removed the cover plate.
I removed the memcal and placed memcal on adapter the way it was shown in the pics on moates.net.
I put the burned AT29C256 chip with my new .bin on it into the G1 adapter the way it was shown on pics on moates.net.
I then put the entire unit back into the ECM making sure the adapter lined up with the pins correctly and pushed down and closed the retaining clips on the ECM.
I then hooked battery back.

Went to start it and the fans were running and the battery was near dead. WTF? I tried to boost it to no avail. I checked all battery connections and they were fine. So, I disconnected the battery again and removed the adapter and put the earlier memcal back in. After boosting it (battery was near dead) it started right up no problems.
I tried new chip with G1 adapter and same thing happened. So, I put the earlier memcal back in and boosted it and it started up no problems.

What would be the cause of this? I know the .bin was transfered to the chip cuz I can verify it and move it to buffer and save it. It's the same .bin as on my desktop computer when I look at it in TunerPro.

Please help me.

 

Did you set device start to 4000?

 

I loaded the .bin file and it says device start=00000 and device end =07FFF.

Am I supposed to change this device start option?
The checksum on pocket programmer is also different than the checksum on tunerpro.

checksum on pp2 3f84
checksum on tp 3a4f

 

Yes you will need to change it to 4000 device start

 

so leave buffer start alone and program it to device start at 4000 and then put the .bin on the chip?

 

yep

 

Yeah you can do that or double up the bin.

use the command in the DOS window

copy /b rev1.bin+rev1.bin rev1combined.bin

Where rev1 is the name you gave to your modified bin

and

Rev1combined can be any name which you want to call the combined bin that will be created.

 

Will this work for the pocket programmer 2?

I'm not sure how to do this. Details please.

Thanks

You need to use the above command I documented above in "MS-DOS" window. Just go to your start button, and find it in the menue. I will open up a small seperate window in which you can type in. You will need to navigate around using old DOS commands like cd c:\ to change to the directory in which you want to save and retrieve the file from.

If your not real familiar with these commands you can always just start the program at the desired location....do a search for these locations for the different size files and eproms.

 

Yeah, I don't know jack about DOS functions. There has to be an easier way to do this in the PP2.

What are you trying to program for, year ECM?

 

The easiest way is to do what Alvin mentioned in the above reply. Just change the device starting address to 4000. The other way is to download Craig Moates Bin Compiler or download Tuner Pro which also has a bin compiler built into the software. Both of these programs will compile or stack the bin file so that it will work in a 29C256 chip. Or use the dos command as Jesse mentioned.
