ihatejoefitz Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm wiring my relay board. I've got a 1k-ohm 1/4 watt resistor that I've run between the +12V injector block and the TACH input per moby's sticky. After wiring it up, I put a test light on the TACH input and got nothing. When I pull the jumper wire with the resistor in it off the TACH terminal, the test light shows power, but as soon as I put it back on the TACH terminal it goes dead again. Is this normal?

z-ya Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 we need a LOT more information to help you. Are we talking about a tachometer, or the tach (trigger) input to the MS? Is it a stock tachometer, or aftermarket? Please give us more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatejoefitz Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks for the response; I'm talking about the tach input on the relay board. I realized that spinning the distributor will cause a test light to flash when pointed to the spot indicated by the red dot on this diagram. I'm trying to set the initial timing and I still can't get the middle led to light on the MS unit. I have tested the unit with a stim on my desktop and all seems well. I have not been able to get a laptop connected to the unit while it's in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cramer Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 The middle LED will only flash if you have set up some very specific settings in MegaTune. Are you getting an RPM signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatejoefitz Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've connected my laptop to the controller while in the car and I get nothing. I've used the port checker and it told me MSnS_E 021s. I've activated 021s in MT and configured the embedded code parameter. When I have the stimulator hooked up, MT will only respond to a baud rate of 9600. Isn't MSnS_E supposed to be 115200? IDK, sounding familiar to anyone?

Matt Cramer Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 MSNS-E is supposed to run at 9600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
