Micro or Mega, which to squirt with?

[Dan_Austin]

I've been watching the Megasquirt development for a few years now,

and the projects listed here at HybridZ. I have been a bit surprised

that the microsquirt has not popped up even once as part of any of

the installs.

 

The V3 revision of the hardware expected this summer is supposed to

bring full weather proofing to that table, and a slight reduction

in size. It looks like it would fit nicely on the back side of the

fusible link bracket, where my original voltage regulator was, with

the option to mount an EDIS module on the other side of the same

bracket.

 

I know this is a group of twiddlers, and perhaps the Microsquirt is

too limiting in the long run, but I wonder how many folks here have

started with an MS2 and an EDIS setup then later decided to move to COP

with sequential (which appears to be the major option I would be giving

up if I went this route)?

I remember microsquirt being more for motorcycle engines, something about how many injectors it controls and if there high or low impedence injectors.

If you stick to high impedance injectors, MicroSquirt will run them just fine. With the Extra code, it is possible to make the WLED and ALED outputs serve as spark outputs to run wasted spark as well, although you'll need a pull up resistor. While there isn't much of an upgrade path for a MicroSquirt, it is fairly capable.
