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.

I have code 2.886 in a Microsquirt and i am trying to set it to AlphaN direct coil control. The engine runs on carbs and a dizzy and so MS is in shadow mode until it works fully. I am just trying to control ignition. I have used TunerStudio to set set up the MS etc.
I have set the code to True AlphaN and set up my AlphaN Map table.
However, when i try and tune my Spark Table using the 3D Tuning tool i find that the tuning 'dot' is not reacting to TPS but is just wandering around following the MAP value. There is no MAP sensor connected so the MAP value floats around and the MS is still trying to use that as its control even though i have set it to Pure AlphaN.
Any suggestions i am at a loss??????????????????????????????????????
I'm not sure how TS handles it, but the way you get pure alphaN in the code is by setting the 2 associated rpms to both be above your max rpm. Or both = 0 if you have the bit set that says to use pure alphaN above the associated rpms. So check that these are set properly.
Not sure i really understood what you said - sorry!
Would i be better off trying Blended and then setting the SD part really high so that my engine never gets to it? I.E. say 15000 rpm. I can still keep the TPS table the same i presume and then the engine will never look for the MAP.
