MS-II 8cyl COP Wasted Spark

I am running MSnS-E 029q2 with 4 spark outputs on my 4 cyl and James is running it on his V8 with 4 vb921s I am pretty sure.

Wiring up 8 vb921s to drive 8 COP units from 4 spark outputs (COP units driven as Wasted Spark) is documented somewhere in the MSnS-E forum.

Good to hear about ms2/extra, though. I think that'll offer everything I need while I'm waiting for fancy toys like the router board.

No, but when I get around to implementing support for rotary engines, 2nd trigger will be needed.... I believe James was saying he's going to do the second trigger support, but I'm not positive on that... One of us will be doing it anyway.

This is just as high as I've tested because my oscilloscope at the time wasn't good enough to let me get a good look at the output signals above that...

I just got a Tek digital storage scope with 5 channels (I can increase that to 8 or even 12 if I want, but can only display 8 at once) that gives me a much better look at what's going on, and have already used it to rule out what I thought was a problem in my code, but what turned out to be a problem with the wheel signal.

There are no plans on when we're going to release code to the public, as we want to do a lot of testing before releasing anything. We want to take time getting the interface right and making sure all selectable options for ignition either work or error out if they can't work, etc...
