The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
This forum is for discussing ignition setup, tuning, and troubleshooting for MicroSquirt (TM)

ok guys ms1/msns-e v2.2 and here is my ? because i been and im confuse about how to do this set up my distributor has a vr sensor so i have to conditioning the signal and im going to use a 4 pin module my ? is if i have to put the 1k resistor in pin C of the module or a 470 ohms from pin C and B and also if a have to put a 1k from fidle to the white wire of the msd.thanks
I use the 470ohm resistor between c b with a four pin hei butt i use the led 17 option be sure to use a good name brand module i had some problems with tach spikes then i changed modules and been fine since.
im going to use one from autozone im think is a wells brand which one you use in case the one that im buying is the same one that you have the spike problem .
I would try to stay away from the cheap hei modules maybe try a accel or msd module from jegs or summit autozone somtimes cary msd products they give a higher more stable voltage to the ms than the cheaper ones do my cheap one only put out like 1.3 volts to the ms and had real bad voltage spikes at anything under 2000 rpm and was real hard to start.
Im not sure on the msd butt the accel part (there are two part # one is a hi-po thats good to 9k rpms)
standerd module # is 110-35361 $39.99
hi-po module # is 110-35367 $65.99
Either one of these should work great.
so i dont need the 1k for nothing from the distributor vr sensor + to W - to G the 470 1/2 watt resistor in B and C. from C to pin 24 of the squirt and B to a 12 volts source. and from pin 30 to the white wire of the MSD and i dont need the 1k in pin 30 either.
