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.
Forum for discussing how to install MicroSquirt(TM), choose and troubleshoot sensors, wiring, and communications for MicroSquirt (TM) and MicroSquirt Module(TM).

I don't have a diagram per se and I don't have a Microsquirt but if you have a look at this: http://www.microsquirt.info/schm8.gif and this: http://jbperf.com/JimStim/jim_stim_v1_3_silkscreen.jpg, you should be able to see what goes where. Have a look at the signal name besides each screw terminal position on the JimStim picture (which is the same as what's on your board) and match them with the Microsquirt signal on the Ampseal connector.
There are a few signals that will need to be connected differently. VR2IN+, if used, will need to be connected directly to the second pin header on the JimStim and IGNOUT2, if used, will need to be connected directly to one of the ign LED on the JimStim.
Hopefully this will be sufficient to get you going.
I gUess I need clarification on what the pins on the Jimstim marked I1A, I1B, I2A, I2B, FP, SPR1, SPR2, SPR3, SPR4
And also what to do with all the grounds.
I1A, I1B, I2A, I2B are the IAC stepper motor pins used on the V3.0 board with an MS2. On the JimStim, these are actually just connected on the DB37, screw terminals, and the 19-pin header in the middle of the board. So you can basically ignore them. SPR1-4 are the spare pin on the V3.0 board and you can similarly ignore them. FP is the fuel pump output and it is connected to the FP LED and it corresponds to pin 8 on the Microsquirt Ampseal connector.
You only need to connect a single ground to the JimStim ground because there won't be much current going through. For this you can either use the JimStim ground pin header (just besides the DB37, bottom left of the pic) or the power screw terminal - side (top right of the pic, X4).
We just downloaded the latest firmware and now the Microsquirt doesn't communicate with the JimStim at all. Any suggestions? We have two Microsuirts, one we just got from Bruce two days ago (#2) and one we got from DIY Autotune a couple of weeks ago (#1). The JimStim would communicate with the older one (#1) except on the O2 and ignition channel, and the newer one (#2) not at all. So we made them both the same and now neither one communicates at all. Consistent if nothing else. I must be missing a key element in the interpretation of the process.
Thank you
