Re: Low voltage error

I know, it doesn't make sense to me either. I'll get back to you, mid next week with more details. By calibration I meant msqs.
Thanks

Low voltage error

Hi,
I have a toyota 4age with ITBs running microsquirt with almost no problems for about a year now. The car is set up to use MAP as the main load input, but as the car has ITB, I have problems setting up load transitions. If I set it up for WOT, when cruising the car runs rich, and if I set it up ...

So, I fried my Microsquirt today.

So, 100% my fault, I loaded a new file on the Microsquirt today, to change from MAP to TPS based load, and "forgot" to set the coil settings to Going High (Inverted) :oops:

This are pics of the aftermath:

I was trying to leave the distributor unmodified, because it is a risk to trim some teeth of the wheel, but none of the other options worked, so I just trimmed the 2 teeth, and got a perfect RPM signal right away.

Just to confirm, I am sure that the signal generated by the VR is a falling edge ...

Thanks, it's the logical way to do it.

But I have another question, would I damage something, or get a nosy signal if I just wire both SYNC sensors to VRIN2+? That way I would be able to use option 2 :).

If nothing could get damaged, maybe I would try option 2, then do as you say and test 1 and at ...

MicroSquirt: 4AGE 20V Distributor Pickup for wasted spark

Hi,
I am installing a 4AGE 20V on a Toyota AE86 using MicroSquirt. There is a clearance issue between the distributor and the firewall, so I decided to use only the VR Sensors and toothed wheels of the distributor, and run wasted spark.

The distributor has 2 wheels inside, and 3 VR sensors. One ...

MicroSquirt: drive a PWM idle valve directly

Can the IPS022G that controls the FIDLE on the MicroSquirt drive a PWM idle valve directly, or do I need to make an external board using a TIP122 or something similar.

Its a 3 wire Toyota 4AGE silvertop idle valve, it has 2 coils, one to open the valve, and another to close the valve. Each coil has ...
