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).

Hello I just got the new microsquirt 3.0 , using for fuel only my engine is a 2cyl 2 stroke one coil and two wires sort of a wasted spark, i was gonna go off the neg of coil for signal but my coil pulse twice per rev , will this matter ,will the ms think im reving twice as fast. thanks
I'm also running a 2 cylinder 2 stroke. When set to 2 stroke it will read true rpms of the motor not 2x. Currently running a fly wheel which has 2 teeth of equal length. Because of this my ecu doesn't know where each piston is @ therefore I used 2 squirts per revolution.
Anyways. Hope this helps. I also found that 2 sequential squirts each revolution helped with smoother running in addition to it easier starts!!!!
oh also it was a little more work but I used a hall sensor on the flywheel, with a (470 ohm?) pull up resistor using the 5V vref I then drilled and tapped the case above the flywheel. Much better than a GMR sensor in my opinion. I burnt out my GMR sensor after about 15mins of run time, which sort of tainted my views on GMR's.
Thanks for the info. My sled is a 2010 summit 800r ,the carbs had a tps for the ignition so i have to use it ,can i just tap into the signal wire for the ms or do i run another tps just for the ms . i turboed this sled last year, ran great but a pain to jet so im upgrading to a 2871 ballbearing turbo and fuel inj, hope it works, thanks
