Megasquirt setup problem
Hi, I have a small problem with my Megasquirt;
I have a Megasquirt 2 V3 setup which I want to run an EDIS6 module for spark as well as the normal injection stuff.
The symptoms are that there appears to be no tach signal reaching the CPU.
The history of my board is that I initially built it to use the hall sensor circuit (everything worked perfectly), then decided I was going to use the
VR circuit, so installed the necessary components and changed the jumpers accordingly (everything worked perfectly). Now that I have settled on using
the EDIS module, I need to go back to using the hall sensor circuit (PIP/SAW(?) input from EDIS).
I have done the EDIS circuit mods as described in the megamanual and changed the jumpers back in the required manner, but the jumper nearest the top
of the CPU (tsel-optout? can't remember off hand) pulled the tsel pad through the board as I changed the jumper. I have tried to repair the
connection with the soldering iron, but I don't think the problem ends there - I have tried jumpering directly from the tsel-optout(?) jumper to
the tach signal input pin on the CPU IIRC, pin 14?), but it doesn't seem to help. However, touching that pin with a finger will cause the MS to
jump into life and run at a permanent ~750RPM, uneffected by the "RPM" pot on the stim.
This is not helped by the fact that I only get ~2 minutes of Megatune time before Vista blue-screens.
Is there someone I can send my MS to to get it working? I'm fed up with trying to figure this out myself. I hate electronics now, I have decided
Before anyone suggests, I have posted this up on the msefi.com forum, but the only answers I get are "read the manual first". I
can't find any reference to this problem in any of the literiture..
TIA
Chris

To solve your blue screen problem download this:
http://www.efianalytics.com/TunerStudio/support/download/GUC232_WINXP.zip
And replace the ser2pl.sys file in your windows\system32\drivers\ directory with the one in the zip.
Should stop it crashing - worked for me.
Follow these instructions to the letter
http://msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/MS2-Extra_EDIS.htm
And it should all work

Thanks, I'll try that file tonight.

Excellent stuff, thanks flak monkey!
That Vista replacement .sys file works like a treat.
Having got a reliable Megatune, I have now fault-found - it was indeed the pulled-through pad which has pooped the party, so I have jumpered from
optout to pin 14 on the CPU base (I think it's 14, I know the pin by sight, can't remember the numbering...), and hey presto, it works!
I do have one problem still - the EDIS wiring setup.
I have found many differing EDIS MS modification diagrams, and I have mine set up as a standard Hall input circuit (XG1-XG2, etc.)**. However, the
diagram you linked to (does the megamanual change that often?) shows a removed C30 and a jumper from the top of C30 to S12C, and tachselect to
XG1. Which way is correct, or is it the case that there is more than one way to skin a cat?
Output circuitry seems common for all of the EDIS how-to's - JS10 -> IGN. No worries there.

** Link to source at megamanual.com;
To install EDIS with MegaSquirt-II, you connect:
V2.2 main board:
* the 5th hole of JP1 to the SAW pin (#3) on the EDIS module (which you can jumper to an unused DB37 pin, if you want),
* the PIP pin (#1 on the EDIS module) to DB37 pin #24,
* Make sure D8 (the 'John' Zener diode) is jumpered.
V3.0 main board:
* DB37 pin #36 to the SAW pin (#3) on the ignition module
* DB37 pin #24 to the PIP pin (#1) on the ignition module
* On the V3.0 main board:
o use the 'Hall sensor circuit' (step #50.a in the assembly guide) - jumper D1 and D2,
o jumper OPTOIN to TACHSELECT on the bottom side of the PCB, near the DB37 connector, opposite the heat sink,
o jumper TSEL to OPTOOUT on the bottom side of the PCB, near the center.
* jumper JS10 to IGN (this uses the processor port for the SAW signal directly),
* jumper XG1 to XG2 on the bottom side of the PCB, near the 40 pin socket,
If you are using the relay board with a v3 main board:
* the SAW signal connects to the S5 terminal (#11 on the 20 position terminal strip) on the relay board, it comes from DB37 pin 36 (make sure you
have a wire connecting pin 36 to pin 36 in the MegaSquirt/relay board connecting cable),
* the PIP signal connects to the Tach terminal (#15 on the 20 position terminal strip) on the relay board, it goes to DB37 pin 24.
