You can actually buy a break out board and wire to it then attatch a 60pin ecu connector from a junk ecu.

@a91what thoughts??I thank you for all your help so far. I am sorry for being so dense, but I still dont understand the wiring to the microsquirt itself. I understand the usage of resistors at different ohms to divide the supply voltage to give different voltages based on which switch is being pushed Up, Down, or Horn. That makes total sense to me, that you would need push each switch individually to get the voltage going to the microsquirt and input that into the Paddle Shifter entry screen in Turnerstudio.
Reading more on the megashift manual sense it has more info then transmission control manual does. It recommends to use a 5V supply as it will be more stable voltage supply.
Below I am still confused:
1. 5V Vref from microsquirt - Which wire is that? Everyone just says to just use it from the microsquirt, but Im not see which wire that is
2. If I cut the existing horn wire in half
+ Half that goes up the steering column goes to the 5V Vref on the microsquirt
+ Other half that goes to the horn goes to an output on the microsquirt (if you can tell me which pin that would be awesome)
@a91what
Thank you your awesome. Wiring is by far my downfallI'm at work now, let me do some reading later for you.
MS won't control the EGR or air pump electronics correct? Just want to be sure so I can provision for their eventual removal.
Any way to make it play well with cats? While I don't need to pass a sniff test, I still want to run cats for various reasons and don't want to ruin my expensive bassani high flow x pipe.
Can MS3 do a timed aux circuit? I just plumb the air pump direct to the h-pipe and keep the bypass valve plumbed up. Delete the portion to the heads. Then upon ignition start I could have a timer go 10 mins and then open the valve sending flow to the cats. If MS3 can't do that I could do it by other means electrically.
Egr I could give a flying boot about if MS3 will be happy as a clam without it.

1. ---5v ref is ampseal pin #28
2. ---yes, however I cannot find that information on the pinout. can you give me a link to the 6.3.2.7 table above
Using the link follow the instructions under the calculator, it will give you the needed resistor values you will need to make the circuit work and the voltages to plug into the software. I suggest using common resistor values you can find online or at your local hobby store.
looking at page 21-23 of the manual gives you the wiring pinout for the microsquirt module. looking at the table for paddle shifters shows that you can set the horn output it says horg e.g. horn you will probably choose an output to use for this, according to the wiring pinout you will likely use the aled or wled outputs. this will largely depend on what you need to control the transmission you are wiring up and what is left over when you are done.Steve, this helps a lot for #1 as I understand plug-n-play
For #2 here is the link you asked for http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/html/Trans_Control-1.0.pdf/Trans_Control-1.0-49.html or below is the details for you.
Steve, thank you again as alwayslooking at page 21-23 of the manual gives you the wiring pinout for the microsquirt module. looking at the table for paddle shifters shows that you can set the horn output it says horg e.g. horn you will probably choose an output to use for this, according to the wiring pinout you will likely use the aled or wled outputs. this will largely depend on what you need to control the transmission you are wiring up and what is left over when you are done.
sorry I cant be more specific on this as far as a pin number for you but I would suggest you figure out what you need output wise and then I can coach you the rest of the way.
You can use either sensor for the cam input. I believe the explorer cam sensor is 3 wire.For the cam sensor, which is better to use with the MS? Or does it not really matter? The 2 wire VR sensor, or the 3-wire hall effect? I have both.
For wiring the cam and crank sensors, I should plan for separate shielded harnesses back to the MS? No bundling with other wiring (for the coil packs for example) that will contain power wires?
Did you build your own ecu or buy a prebuild and wire it in?
Check engine grounds first also check to see that the ecu is grounded properly. I will check the datalog but if you see spikes in all the sensors at the same time grounds are likely the culprit.
