Burning Brakes
thanks everyone
another question...
will it just plug into the wiring harness where the dme/klr is?
or a harness will be needed to be fabricated?
would a pda work or a laptop is neccesary?
what about tuning?
are there presets for changing driving styles?

All of these questions can be answered at http://www.megasquirt.info/.
Click on the FAQ.
To answer those questions, yes it is laptop controllable. You must have a laptop. It is tuneable on the fly, just like AEM, TEC3 or MOTEC. It has the same basic features of any of those setups.

To load different firmware, you just change a jumper on the PCB I think. Again, no burner hardware/etc.

Laptop OR PDA, but a PDA will only change a few basic settings.
Theres support for dual maps, so a low boost/economy/crappy gas map, and one for power.

but the 500 rpm thing isnt clicking with me. I know it averages it out. but....idk.

944 + MegaSquirt discussion forum: http://www.darklightning.com/motroni...forum.php?f=22
I'm hoping that'll help all of us work together towards the mutual goal of a MegaSquirt'ed 944.

I am in. My engine is going out for a rebuild. I am very interested in converting to a full stand alone EMS by MegaSquirt. Lets keep this board active. I believe once we can successfully tune a 951 using a megasquirt EMS, it will become very very popular. My 951 is an open guinea pig right now for anyone interested in using it to develop a proper D.I.Y. SA EMS.

Alex, I have one MS powered 951 being built right now. I don't have the $ to do it any other way (not that I'd prefer another way even if I did).
We're working on hashing out a a suitable trigger signal to the versatile MS (nS-Extra) wheel decoder. Dark just proposed a "Divide by N" counter on the Motronic board that could theoretically divide the 132 tooth flywheel signal into 44 (132 / 3). Then the stock ref sensor gives us the "missing tooth" that we'd need, so effectively a 44-1 signal with about $5-10 in electronics added to the stock sensors.
If we can get that to work, then the 944 world should rejoice!

This is a very interesting idea. How is the boost going to be controlled? Does a new circuit have to be created? Does the MAP give a suitable signal for operating the stock boost gauge?

With the V3 board, it should be easy to build the divide by N counter on the proto area, and just jumper it in between the CPU and the signal processing stuff.
