For the hard of understanding I'll repeat it: Microsquirt will not do 5 cylinder COP. I can get Microsquirt here quite easily and reasonably priced, but if it doesn't work there's no point
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
So, I've got a 5 cylinder engine with 144 degrees between ignition events. Please tell me which coils I should fire together to make this happen?
Why not support the people who actually did the hard work?

Serious question here: What dollar value would you place on your free time?
No, I'm trying to get the job done as cheaply as possible. When I started the thread I had no idea that it needed to be licenced by B&G. I thought MS was open source.Becuase somehow you have way more e-merit by being different.
Nope. I'd happily drop another lump in- especially an LS, but they're hard to get here and very expensive when they do turn up. This B5234T3 engine came complete for ?150. The same garage has an S80 T6 they can't sell and I'm trying to get them to break that so I can use the T6 engine instead.OP's argument follows the same logic as "I want a cheap engine swap that can make a lot of power, but I don't want to use an LS or 2JZ becuase it's lame and played out."
Have you ever compared one car to another that has the same engine?That became pretty clear when OP pointed out that a megasquirt based product is a great alternative to megasquirt. Whatever the **** that's supposed to mean.
Then why are you bothering to put your pointless in?This entire discussion isn't really about anything other than that.
I'm not cutting into my bulkhead to make a hole for a distributor!one, with a distributor
I had a feeling that was the direction that whole thing was going to go in
Manual transmission don't need controllers I'd love an MS3, but we're looking at $1k over here (which I simply don't have), and the only guy that builds MS to order and is an official distributor has a reputation for building them wrong and refusing to admit he did so. A friend of mine caught him out with the help of an electronics guy.anyway, if you're ok with getting a one-off deal that won't get supported in the future built on top of deprecated hardware (ms2) to save some money, go for it. I generally recommend microsquirt because it'll be supported for a period of time before they let it go by the wayside, even though development for ms2-based things is effectively dead at this point (that, and you could re-purpose it for a trans controller down the road with a firmware change and re-wire).
I've no idea any more than I know how many successful MS setups are out there. There's a few on YouTube running successfully, I think.So I read on the dude's website that he's sold a wad of them, how many are actually on running driving cars?
A standalone EMS's resale value isn't really a consideration for me- whereas it's purchase price is as I have very little money.I can't tell you how many ms setups I sold just on this forum that ended up in the back of closets only to surface 4 years later when they're practically worthless

that is turbobrick logic right there. "I'm on a budget so I can't really afford to do it right, but I could probably afford to do it again more than once"
Then why are you bothering to put your pointless in?
