Re: Maxima COP Triggering
It could be that the way you built your circuit was feeding so much power to the coils that the voltage would dip unacceptably low. Try a 100 ohm resistor inline with the spark outputs.

Re: Knock Detection
The frequency is physically set in the hardware. However, there are several trim pots inside the MSPNP you need to adjust. See the MSPNP manual for details: http://www.megasquirtpnp.com/docs/mspnp ... &isModel=2

Re: Maxima COP Triggering
Going low vs going high refers to what the MegaSquirt is doing at the processor pins. Some output circuits reverse what actually happens to the signal by the time it makes it to the harness. The MegaSquirt CPU is not aware of what circuitry may be downstream of the processor pins.

Re: Knock Detection
There's two parts to the MSPNP knock circuit. 1. A headphone output that lets you listen to the filtered knock signal. It will show up as a high pitched almost beeping sound through the filter. Useful for tuning if your engine is knock limited. 2. The analog circuit that the ECU uses to pull timing....

Re: Maxima COP Triggering
The MSPNP is set up so that "Going high" means it sends a 0 volt signal when off and 5 volts when dwelling the coil. Some circuits in the MS1/Extra manual use the opposite logic.

Re: MS1 - hard/NO starts
This seems to mean to me that all of the ground pins connect to BOTH the main current grounds and the Sensor ground pin 7? So i'm guessing the purpose of the two planes is only for isolation of the high currents and digital grounds WITHIN the MS itself - how they can be isolated and connected at th...

Re: MS1 - hard/NO starts
Some general rules of 12 volt wiring: 1. You want the injectors to be on with the key on or from the fuel pump relay - Nissan has them on full time, which can be a problem with MegaSquirt because it wasn't designed for this. 2. The wires' inductance can mean the wires do a bit of noise filtering. An...

Re: Maxima COP Triggering
We are using a variant of the "5V pull up to fire" circuit that has been adapted to the MicroSquirt Module and has a 22 ohm resistor added inline to prevent killing the transistor if the output is shorted to ground.

Re: Maxima COP Triggering
As the MSPNP is based on the MicroSquirt Module, it does not quite fit any of these categories. Its output circuit is most closely related to the "5V Pull Up to Fire", but is not an exact match.

Re: E85 Timing
This is very engine dependent. But when the VE drops after the torque peak, the cylinder filling is also less efficient. Less cylinder pressure will mean the engine wants more spark advance.

Re: Maxima COP Triggering
You will need to modify the ECU for two 5 volt logic level outputs.

Either the "5V Pull Up to fire" or "Ground switching" mod on that page can work.

Re: VSS input, has anyone here tried it yet?
I am using VSS input on my Chevy truck, bringing it in over CAN as I'm using a MicroSquirt to control the transmission. I'm not using direct input to the MS3, but that is supported too. I'd probably use an alternate second trigger input and bring the VSS in over the cam input VR conditioner.

Re: Another 95 pnp no start issue
Something is fishy. Can you check the MAP sensor output voltage at the "EXT MAP" jumper with the key on and engine off?
We never used the MPX4115 as a MAP sensor in the MSPNP line. It's only used as the baro sensor.

Start with the MSPNP base map, scaled for your injectors, and swap the idle control from inverted to normal - that should be pretty close.

The MS wiring just needs constant power, switched power, ground, and a fuel pump connection to function. You would also want to wire up the tachometer to it.ka240de wrote:where is it tied in with the chassis harness?

Re: Wiring Hall Effect sensor?
The REF signal should go from 0 to 12 volts and back again. You may need to spin the distributor slowly to be able to see the individual pulses.
