Several of us have benchtested it and some problems were found and fixed. We are waiting for on-car testing. If anyone wants to test it , we can make the code and s19 file available, but this is not something for a novice to test - anything involving the timing is dangerous both to you and more importantly

your engine. What I am concerned about is the high rpm limit vs number of teeth. As best I remember it is about 6000 rpm for a 60 tooth wheel on an 8 cylinder. With the router board it will be way past this.

Al, I've been waiting for 2.5 to finish my 12-1 wheel rotary install. I'd be glad to test the code on that platform! Vehicle is just sitting in the garage, all hardware installed (works fine under Extra) waiting for the MSII wheel decode code. I eagerly await the code!
Thx, Mike

Al,
Is it still v2.53 or were the problems found in that version? If there's a later version, I'd be interested in it.
Thanks,
Jean

I am also isteresting in that code, because Caarlo who has also MS on Swift GTi will help me to reprograme that code to decode stock Suzuki swift wheel in distributor.
If it possible, can you send that new code to
lander@email.cz?
Thank you soo much
Lander

Hi al, I could test the code also, Mine is a prelude 4cyl with a 36-1 wheel with max rpm in the 7.5-8k range. currently I just have MS&Se logging the rpm, map, and a/f ratio, swapping processors would be easy.
I wont be going to fuel and timing control till the next few weeks as time permits.
My car is set up with basicallt two wiring harnesses; stock and MS.
so it is almost ideal for testing.
Thanks for everything, cant wait for the router board!!

My car is currently setup for running dual ecu's. I have been running MSnSExtra till my latest revamp. Now I have a DB37 loom setup to run 1 or 2 ecu's at the same time and am very close to being ready for some testing.
Are they any known or suspected bugs? Is there any chance of giving us a snippet of what is available this time around without overshadowing the recent 2.33 release?

Al,
It would also be good to have a version that compiles with GCC, if it exists. The v2.53 version I have gotten from you does not compile with GCC.
Thanks,
Jean

Hi, I'd love to help with testing..
I can test the following:
4cyl motor.
1) 4 VR wheel - camshaft
2) 24 VR wheel - camshaft
3) 12-1 VR wheel - (24tooth camshaft with 2 teeth removed)
4) 12+1 VR wheels (2nd trigger) - (24tooth and 2tooth wheels camshaft)
I have some experience with initial testing/running engine of the MSnS extra 2nd trigger decoder stuff when it was released.
I have MSV3 board with MS-II chip which I have been using fuel only.
I also have a MS-I chip running Extra software for waste spark and other code testing, which I swap into the V3 board.
Also a V2.2 board with MS-I extra, but that's going out the door this weekend sorry.

The code and s19 files are attached. Note that thia wheel decode is only for m-n wheels, no m+n ; also, it only handles one wheel - its not sequential. That will come with the router board.
Phil Johnson does the gcc code. I generally send him a copy after the code is tested - we still haven't completed testing 2.34 code.
