That's weird dude, check the rest of the circuitry and your settings in MS. You should def see an RPM on the stimulator.

It also errors when I try to reflash it for msns-e. I don't know what's up. I checked the polarity of the diodes at least 7 time, fix a few cold joints, and fiddled with the 2 pots...nothing. I also try to put a help post up on the megasquirt forums and it got deleted and my user account is now suspended. WTF!!! I still haven't herd back from any of the admins as to why.
So PLEASE HELP!!!!

[Lex]

The pots are for VR tach input ... you should use hall/opto input for the BP.

Check and test each circuit, not just the diodes as it states in the megamanual build guide. Especially check the opto isolator circuit.

The problems you are getting could be so general I am not sure what more specific advice I can give you.

Lex are you using Q6 and Q8? I found a miata install that said you had to remove them.

[Lex]

Well I broke my internet machine a few days and I have been working a lot so I haven't had much time to get my MS working. I think I might have it pined down but we'll see.
