    Well, I got started with MegaSquirt.

    Now, the little question:
    I'm not thinking of using an idle valve.
    I have one in the Drive by Cable TB, but from my knowledge, it cannot be used with MegaSquirt.
    So, I'll just the idle manually. Cold start idle will be a pain, but this is a toy car, so not really an issue.
    This means that I can skip step 22, right? From: http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/V3assemble.htm

    I did skip this so far, and I was able to test the MS assembled so far, using step 23. All good, and 4.999V was seen in the specified pins! All good!!

    Hi!I'm interested in a megasquirt. Where can i by one? I'm in Europe. I would like the cheapest one please. I want to be able to command only 2 injectors, and also if it's possible to convert my AFM (flap) to MAP and make my stock ecu work with MAP. Maybe one injector and an electro valve solenoid which draws 1A. The solenoid would be activated only in boost. I would like a kit to assemble it myself. Thank you very much.

    Well, I go this from the US from www.diyautotune.com
    Now, for your specific project, I'm not sure what to say. This you should ask in the www.msefi.com forum or directly to Matt in DIYAutoTune.
    Cheers!

    Which vehicle is this for...
    There are several projects on here that already detail where to obtain and what to do.

    The base MSII is built!
    I tested the last step, and I am not sure if everything is working correctly...
    I coulnd't get the WUE led to go off... But other than that, looks ok!

    Just have to build the:
    - BIP's for the COP's
    - Boost controller
    - Tacho out

    Guess I'm getting there! :lol:

    So, I decided to do a change on the Tacho Out, and instead of using SPR3, I decided to use IAC2A as it's already in the harness, and I'll not use the stepper idle.

    Then I created the Boost Control mod like this:
    [​IMG]

    But it felt wrong, due the huge cables, and since I'll have to use the BIP's on the lid so I changed to this:
    [​IMG]

    Started the BIP's mod, and I belive my solder is nasty...

    Does this look correct to you?
    Isn't this fragile? The resistor leg will move from one side to the other easy, won't they break?
    Cheers!

    As my gearbox had a bad digestion, I can't get this in the car, so no hurry :lol:

    Today, I finished my Megasquirt.
    Was just missing the BIP's circuit, to connect to a DB15.

    Nice job. Did you sort out the BIPs wiring on the board? As it does look fragile. You are better off linking the connection to the prototype area and wiring from there.

    Yeah, I sorted it.
    This is the first idea I had.

    But then I changed to this:
    [​IMG]


    It's no longer like the first (2 resistors soldered to the R26).
    THe resistors are now soldered directly to the BIP's, and the wire is soldered to a sniped leg that was soldered to the proto area, to create a bridge to the R26.
    So, I guess it should hold on now :p
