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)

I like to use a coil pack (wasted spark) on my 4-cylinder 1700cc motor. Right now I'm using MicroSquirt with a distributor and a Bosch 0 227 100 124 ignition module and a 36-1 toothed trigger wheel wit the Hall sensor. Thinking about about the Ford EDIS-4 coil pack. Do I still need an ignition module with this coil pack. If I do what is the advantage of using the EDIS-4 coil pack over an conventional coil pack?
EDIS-4 coil packs still need the external ignition module. They're pretty conventional coil packs. The main reason that you hear a lot about EDIS is that the EDIS ignition module was one of the first distributorless ignitions that the MegaSquirt team was able to support. Distributorless ignition control has come a long way since then.
