shnikees Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi, I'm in the final stages of assembling my megasquirt v3 with the MS2 cpu. I have the LS1 coils and I'm going to be running wasted spark. I've seen several bits of conflicting information on wither they are 5v pull up or fire from ground. Is there an easy way to test the coils before I finish the megasquirt assembly? My dad has several scopes and I can borrow one if need be. Thanks Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Morgan Morgan, Have you seen this thread linked below? It is in the stickies of the MS section? http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=120533 He has been scope testing the LSx coils while under MS control...

shnikees Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Heya Paul, i have seen that the only thing is he is using his tec3 to contol the coils, I dont have my MS unit built yet to do be able to do that so I'm wondering if there is a "low tech" method of firing the coils until I can finish my MS unit.

Administrators BRAAP Posted October 6, 2009 Administrators Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Wait a tick. Go back and "read" that thread I linked. He IS using Mega Squirt to control the LSx coils. No mention of Tec3 either?!?!? Edited October 6, 2009 by BRAAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shnikees Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 You are very correct not sure how I missed that...however I still dont have my MS unit completed to be able to test them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy 77zt Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 i just converted my l28et to lsx coils.i used moby's ls1 sticky for instructions on firing the coils.i run the a,b,c leds in a fake kind of waste spark mode. each led fires 2 coils.works good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
