Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

I dont have skype, but I suppose thats as easy as a download and another new password to remember :) Im out on buisnes anyways. I understand the XGATE not being up and running yet, so what pins are available for the current release? I guess if I had the code loaded into the tuning program, I would b...

Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

Re emailing, fair enough, however best to keep what you can on the forum, at least technically, at least with post-private-session updates. Good Idea. Ill keep the pertinent Info here then. Maybe I should update the first post with the most up to date work. I have attached the pinout spreadsheet an...

Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

I just got a template laid out with the footprints in place. It looks like I can get 4 boards printed for about $100. They wanted another few hundred to assemble though. I think I would rather solder it myself. Components from digikey look like another $50 for each. Also, I didn't realize MS3 was us...

Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

Well, there are no external igniters in my setup, so the CPU pin never leaves the case if that's any consolation to you :) I set it up in the stock ECU case with stock bosch IGBTs for the coils (they have their own grounding plane and grounding pin). Its more or less exactly as the stock Siemens ECU...

Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

Dan, thank you for pointing me to the schematics! Very thourogh and CPU protective? I noticed the ignition drivers are very isolated from the CPU signal. I currently have mine driven straight from the CPU with a pull down resistor and inline resistor. Is there any reason this would not be safe with ...

Re: 40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

Haha, is it not "legal" to run an MS2 daughter card on a custom PCB? I suppose I can't call it "Megasquirt" legally anymore. I have enough v3.0 boards laying around, I think I have payed my licencing dues many times over... and still had to make my own. Anyways, I would love to c...

40pin DIP to processor daughter board idea

I'm not sure if this has come up in the past, but I would like to proceed with this plan if this is feasible. I am currently running Megasquirt 2 but on a main board of my own design. Like many of you, I found several shortcomings to the standard board and wished to improve on the original. As my se...
