Has anyone else seen this?

This pretty much solves the reservations I had with Megasquirt, primarily it's not waterproof. It always seemed relatively easy to fix the non-waterproof connectors, but this is a much smaller package too. I think once this is available, I'll bite the bullet and order it.

not bad for the money

It is interesting indeed. They need to correct the fact that it cannot be distributorless but other than that it's nice. And anything developped for the standard MS-II wiil be compatible.

However, it's only at the prototype stage and they have a tendency to drag on that stage. If the timeline for the MS-II is a good indication it could be months before they are generally available. Hopefully that won't be the case.

Yeah, but that gives me time to save
But they have several distributorless setups, and I don't see why they're not available with this version?

The current version of MS-II and the upcoming versions only have a single ignition output. The distributorless version (up to 6 ignition outputs) is the MSnS-extra which is only available for MS-I which is the HC908 processor with assembler code. The MS-II and the microsquirt have the HCS12 processor and C code.

All of the Ford EDIS, GM HEI, and stuff still works in MSII, as far as I have seen and they are all distributorless.

You're right. I was thinking of direct ignition control without an external ignition module and forgot about those. I know that Ford EDIS and TFI work but I'm not sure about GM or others.

That is quite interesting, but I would like to see the price. Based on the price of the surface mount price of the MSII I think it will be expensive. I guess for a motorbike or lawn mower it will be very useful. I water proof my MS by putting it inside the car. Even in a leaky mini it stays perfectly dry.

Last time it rained, I had 3" of water in the mini...
...AND I live in the deserts of Utah.
I suppose I should get that gaping hole fixed, eh?

drill a big hole in the floor job done

1293 Turbo mini

There are three holes already, but I was parked so that the water all went to the back and the holes are up front.
The ideal solution is to fix the problem hole, I've just been trying to track down a panel.
