Seeing as i have a megasquirt II on the way,
whats the go with the stock ford injectors. Are they low or high impedance?

I'm getting so pumped but have to wait so long (a week or so) to play with the MS

G'day
Who did you order you ms from? I ordered mine from diyautotune.com 2 weeks ago 2day. I sent my money order on the day and received various emails from them confirming my order. I sent them an email last tuesday to see if they got my money order and have had no reply from them yet. I'm starting to get a little worried. Cheers

diyautotune is a very reputable place. You'll get your order. Mine took 3 weeks or a bit more (not from them but). Wierd how they aren't replying, normally the guy there is good with customer service. Just give it a couple more weeks, and then try and find out what's going on.
Cheers

I ordered mine from glensgarage and it shipped last thursday (US time) and i was advised 7-10days. so hopefully before the end of the week i'll have a MSII/V3 PCB kit.
--- Also last night i got everything to make the stim. Bar DB37 connector but i'll work around that for the time being. Got everything except for the 1M ohm pot had to get 2M ohm pot :\ So tonight i'll be putting that together! |

I used to chat regularly with a guy from the corral.net (mustang forum in the US) who did a lot of testing for the developers of MS. Last i heard, MSnS-e was the most reliable version... had most (all?) the features of MS 2 but apparantley some relibability probs with MS 2. I'm also on the MS list, and most of these issues come down to construction - many people can't solder properly! Since the MSII is constructed by the end user, any reliablity issues are the result of poor construction, or poor quality componnets (since the end user buys them too). If its a pre- made kit, then the problem is with the kit assembler, rather than with the design. Dave |

The assembly is definately a key role in the durability and lifeltime of a megasquirt. But there is also the code, and the different and various conditions its put under, which would take an infinite time to test. The code is done within an application, and reliability also comes to when people reuse that code.
So, the building is not always the problem.(although most of the time it is) Cheers

omfg
last night i put together my megastim (got parts from local jaycar distributor) on a piece of veroboard. So far so good. I rock up at work and sitting on my desk is my megasquirt II kit from glens garage. f**k yeah !!
So today im gonna be itching to get out early hehe! --- also a note: The package is very professional and well packaged. Very schmick, can't reccomend glensgarage any higher! |

Last night i began putting together my megasquirt II V3 PCB.
Soldered in the DB9 and DB37 plugs and completed the first section that is, the power supply. Then i tried to test it and weird results. I assumed my stimulator so i wired my 9V battery directly to +12 and GND on the DB37 connector. Checked out the test points again (namely on the IC socket, checking for 5V) and it was correct where it should be. Now that i think about it, my megastim wasn't connected to ground but i'll check that out tonight and keep going with the megasquirt! Work so far.

The V3 looks alot different to the 2.2's I've been making...
What's that large square area full of holes ?

thats a prototyping area where you can jimmy up extra circuits to handle extra things.

I guess i'm kind of directing this at NFGhia (i think thats him
 )
But soon im gonna be calibrating my MSII to use the ford temp sensors... The MegaSquirt-II code is set up for the standard General Motors temperature sensors. If you are using other sensors, you can use the 'Calibrate Thermistor Tables' dialog under 'Tools'. You enter the bias resistor value and three temperature/resistance points, and the table is created and downloaded to MegaSquirt-II for you. Bias resistor value is the value of the resistor on the board yeah? Three temp/resistance points.. bit of help here? |

before you go on, just check on U5 (the voltage regulator) what voltage you have using the centre pin as ground. Check the left leg, and the right leg. The left leg should have the 9V battery voltage, and left should have ~4.99. No from the non banded side of D13 (I think, the nigelated one at the top, you shouldn't have installed anything around it yet), check from the non banded side as ground, all those pins on the MCU (pins 1,20, and 31 I think), and see what you get. Make sure that you are not geting 8.8 volts... (thats what happened to me).
Seems to be going along well, congrats. Let us know if you need any help. Cheers
