PI Dash Setup: Part 3 Setup TunerStudio and Autostart

[@av8shunmeckaneck]

Autostart isn't located there anymore on Pi 4. I used: sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart. Copy Path for TunerStudio.sh (Wherever you extracted it) and add @"copied path" at the top in the autostart file. Do not enter "copied path". Type @ then press Shift+Ctrl+V to paste the path that you copied. Ctrl+O to write the file. Ctrl+X to exit the file. Type Reboot and Pi will reboot and autostart TunerStudio. NOTE: ALL PATHS ARE CASE SENSITIVE SO IT'S BEST TO COPY AND PASTE!!!! I am running TS directly from the Downloads folder which is where Chromium puts it when you download it. I didn't use Terminal to extract it and I didn't download any programs to extract it. Just Right-Click and 'Extract here'.

This saved me ! Thanks !

[@MonkeyWrenching]

Thanks, worked like a charm!!! You’re a lifesaver!

[@mistervaso]

hey bud! I am trying this now, Im on Bookworm and this does not work either. would you know any new updates on how to make this work

[@proudpalawena]

Thanks a lot. You're our hero. Been trying to setup TunerStudio for a month. This video saved the day!

[@justinzierott7580]

Thanks a bunch, been fighting that for a while. Only thing I had to do different is put the whole directory down on the autorun file. Ex. /home/pi/Downloads/TunerStudio/

[@Mr2009KEVIN]

I've been trying to figure this out for a good month, thanks man

[@wallyanderson5925]

One Thousand THANKS. Excellent tutorial

[@Go4BrokeOffroad]

Do you think this would work for the orange pi as well?

[@johannriedlberger4390]

Is it possible to have an other dashboard than MainDashboard wehen startup? I want to see my customized dashboard first and not need to select in manualy.

[@camnguyen8632]

I know this is a old video but I followed all your steps but when i get to the detect button it doesnt detect the ecu. any ideas? Im using a usb to rs232 cable

[@jared4670]

Wish there was a way to build a dash and save it as a kind of separate app that communicates with the ECU and only boots that.

[@phreum]

Is it ok that the pi will just shutdown every time you turn the car off?

[@GrabbsRacing]

I hear that it will corrupt the SD eventually. I've probably cycled it ~500 or so times already and haven't experienced an issue. I am looking at some USB triggers that will tell the pi to safe shutdown though. I also keep a cloned SD card on hand so that if I do experience SD corruption I will be able to swap in the cloned card until I get safe shutdown working. Good question!

[@GrabbsRacing]

nice! thanks im gonna grab one of those

[@rnbatata]

You can put the root filesystem in read-only mode. That way you don't risk corrupting the SD because of the power-off

[@protuningaustralia6795]

Thanks for that mate, your a legend.

[@g-mech1244]

so what's the boot time like. have you fine tuned it to get it faster?

[@awakengangster]

What cable you use to connect the ECU, OBD2, serial to USB?? Can show hardware how to connect the ECU port? Thanks a lot!!

[@OrlandoPaco]

Awesome video dude!

[@GrabbsRacing]

Thanks!

[@TobeyNord]

Boot 40 times faster with an M.2 hat board. Just copy the Sd card to the M.2 and you will have a way faster setup. Raspberry pi 5 is even better with the M.2 setup. I just realized this is 6 years old lol!

[@rivercityspeed]

When you're typing in the terminal, after keying "ls", you type file and then this whole line of words pops up. I can't tell if I need to type that entire line or if I only need to type some of it. I've tried it a few different ways and haven't been able to do it. Any suggestions?

[@GrabbsRacing]

In unix/linux you have to type the whole file name, there is a trick though, if you start typing the name and hit the tab key it will auto complete it for you.

[@TMCerce]

I keep getting the lxsession directory doesn't exist. I've tried two different ways to get into it

[@1RMDave]

Same here. You find a fix?

[@simonclavelle9252]

Also same problem here

[@GrabbsRacing]

Try “mkdir lxsession”

[@TMCerce]

I found a way around it. Send me a message and I can send you a copy of the write-up I did.

[@lancehayes7514]

Is there a way to get back to the desktop after setting up the auto start?

[@frankreyes3304]

I have the same problem,do you fix it?

[@thunderbirdizations]

Same problem, either of u fix it?

[@bradbucc]

Are you connecting to your MS box over USB or over bluetooth? I can enter my HC06 bluetooth module PIN and raspberry pi connects but says the connection is unusable. (I'm running another open source box called Speeduino but same concept). I noticed the Linux distribution doesn't offer a "bluetooth direct" connection option.

[@usagimoto1423]

Awesome X5

[@mistervaso]

I’d wish you reply to some of these questions 😢

[@sharkcitywarrior5485]

Will this setup work on the factory gm ls swap?

[@GrabbsRacing]

The motor and stuff can be factory but I only have experience with the megasquirt ECU, if you're trying to run a factory ECU then I dont think it will pan out very well

[@sharkcitywarrior5485]

@@GrabbsRacing cool thanks for the reply

[@sunworks9093]

so mine auto starts but i have no dash lol how do i make my back ground and dash reapear ? i cant access files any more

[@mohsinhanif4793]

hi ive been trying all the step but wont autostart on boot. Even if i try to execute tunerstudio.sh from directory it doesnt open. Any help pls

[@mohsinhanif4793]

using Noobs 3.0v

This worked for me. YMMV In Terminal: cd .. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install default-jdk

[@jacobwalters978]

I'm lost.... NEED HELP! SOS I have a pi 3 B+ running raspbian running 2019-07-10. I have TunerStudio installed all that is great my only problem is TS will not detect my ECU no matter if Bluetooth or USB. Any Ideas? All help is appreciated! 👍

[@jacobwalters978]

OH MS PNP2 btw with a 1994 Miata

[@GrabbsRacing]

When you plug in your cable do you see anything in /dev/tty* ? maybe something like ttyAMA0 or ttyAMA1?

[@jacobwalters978]

@@GrabbsRacing Thank you for the response and no nothing like that comes up. Sorry not to intuitive with Linux or pi

[@jacobwalters978]

@@GrabbsRacing Also, is Bluetooth connection possible with Rasberian? when I connect the diyauto tune Bluetooth receiver it says no functions available with this device

[@GrabbsRacing]

@@jacobwalters978 it might be a problem with the usb to serial cable, do you have another one to try?

[@ThisIsReMarkable]

If you feel comfortable with GitHub, check out BuildRoot. I saw someone build a Linux dist that booted in 3 seconds

[@GrabbsRacing]

awesome i'll check that out

[@aicilopon26]

When type ./TunerStudio.sh it says java:not found help pls

[@coltonlyons7229]

Have you figured this out? I'm having the same issue

When I do the nano .config... for autostart it says no directory found

[@simonclavelle9252]

I have the exact same problem :/

[@homegrowncustomsandautorep9737]

I've researched and says some pis autostart is located in different folder... so look through your files to locate it...

[@alexg35ya]

After I press ctrlX, save yes, says error writing. Any ideas?

[@haydenallen888]

try typing sudo before nano when opening

[@Turbo_Zebruh]

i feel tuner studio should not charge for their software being the raspberry pi was built on free open source foundation, if anything they should donations only

[@leotemet2205]

"pwc " is the first command bro???

[@haydenallen888]

pwd

[@NoGrip]

No matter what I do it just won't autostart. So close

[@GrabbsRacing]

show the autostart file, `ls` in the directory so I can see the exact file name and a `pwd` so I can see the exact directory structure.

[@NoGrip]

Grabbs Racing I DID IT! Haha. How funny. Tried all last night, then again this morning. I don't think I had press return or enter after a save to confirm or something. Either way I just booted and it came right up. Yours is the most detailed video of how to do this, and without all the steps I would have had no idea

[@pezpunk513]

4. Use terminal to go to /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart a. sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart 5. add location of Tunerstudio.sh file a. @/home/pi/Downloads/TunerStudioMS/TunerStudio.sh 6. Ctrl+X to exit a. Command is listed as ^X. Substitute Ctrl for ^ for any command 7. Y to save changes 8. Enter to write to file location

[@victordahn2150]

The new update Rpi does not use that autostart directory. USE: sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart Or use this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJalZoefoqmBoJo

[@pezpunk513]

The latest version of TS for Linux hides the Dash Only Mode menu. There is a script that can be added to the TunerStudio.properties file that should restore the menu, but is currently not working. I have contacted EFI and they are working on a fix.

[@904Saleen]

I just learned that. And now my pi won’t boot up properly. It keeps going to this open box thing and I don’t know how to get it back to the normal desktop

[@Thehrutikkharjul]

Bro please first tell in brief what you are going to do
