# rusEFI Virtual simulator
|
||
|
|
||
|
##### You'll be able to test out the rusEFI controller on your computer
|
||
|
|
||
|
This simulator is built on the firmware of the rusEFI controllers, made to be usable on the Windows operating systems. The only thing that you'll need will be a computer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The rusEFI console runs on Java, so if you don't have that installed on your PC you'll need to download it.
|
||
|
If you don't have the rusEFI console you can download it [here](http://rusefi.com/build_server/rusefi_bundle.zip).
|
||
|
You'll have to unzip the file and go into the console folder.
|
||
|
|
||
|
![Directory](FAQ\images\simulator\rusEFI_console_directory.png)
|
||
|
|
||
|
And then open the rusefi_console.jar file.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
After this you'll start the virtual simulator.

|
## Connecting the simulator to Tunerstudio
|
||
|
|
||
|
There are two ways to connect rusEFI simulator to Tunerstudio, it all depends on weather you have the lite or commercial version.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To start of you'll need to open one of your existing projects or just create a new one.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you don't know how to create a Tunerstudio project go [here](HOWTO_create_tunerstudio_project.md)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
With the paid version all you need to do is to go into the communication settings inside a created project,
|
||
|
|
||
|
![Commsetings](FAQ\images\simulator\Tunerstudio_comm._settings.png)
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
choose the USB and wireless driver and the WiFi driver connection type, write the Port as 29002 and the IP address as 127.0.0.1
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
However, if you only have the lite version of Tunerstudio the process will be different
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Emulating a serial port to connect to Tunerstudio lite
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you prefer using the free version of Tunerstudio - Tunerstudio lite - you'll need to install a serial port emulator from [here](https://www.hw-group.com/software/hw-vsp3-virtual-serial-port#download). You'll need to emulate a port on your PC. The only thing that you'll need to do is to choose a port name, COM100 for example and to change the port address to 29002.

||
|
|

|
|
||
|
Now you can create your virtual port.

|
||
|
|
||
|
So now if you open the communication settings in Tunerstudio,
|
||
|
|
||
|
![Commsettings](FAQ\images\simulator\Tunerstudio_comm._settings.png)
|
||
|
|
||
|
you'll be able to connect to your emulator.

|
|

|
Now if your simulator is connected to Tunerstudio you'll see a green zero in your rusEFI virtual simulator.
