setting using the ToolBox controls.

Connection problems?
ToolBox will auto-detect and connect to the Merlin when you click the '

interface cable must be fully inserted into both the USB programmer and the Merlin's
programming port. Press firmly.

your computer.

Disconnect any additional compatible devices. The software auto-detect feature does
not work if multiple Merlins are connected simultaneously.
