James, any estimate at all of when the next batch will be out? Or if I can get one now? Buttoning up my buddy's car after swapping in a new motor, i think the old one cracked a piston from a bad spot of gas, we were running the ms3x but with no knock sensor. We really need it now!

Are you going to be bringing any (for distribution) to the MegaMeet this weekend? I'd like to get one but I do not have a car to run it on right now so you can put me on the bottom of the list.

James and I are not attending the megameet this year.

Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

Does the MS3 allow for the ability to set per-cyl ignition trim through CAN?

I really need this board. The car is running now and we're waiting on the knock board to run more boat. Anyone have a board to sell?

Nice. I notice that a 2012 Chrysler ECU uses this same chip.

Does anyone have some audio recordings from knock sensors to test and tune this with?

Just got off the phone with the contract manufacturer. A couple of the items on the initial list we'd sent them had a long lead time and I was able to come up with a few substitutions. We'll have an update fairly soon on an ETA.

Would you give us a brief description of how it works, ease of use, any tuning experiences with it, etc. Just something to wet our appetites. I'm ready to purchase one when they are ready.

What kind of knock sensor are these designed for? I have a bunch of brand new flat response sensors and have been working on my own band pass filter that is no where near as sweet at yours.

I love these latest threads about the RTCC and the Knock board related to MS3 development!

I can't wait to finally get back home from this "short term" gig in S. Korea so I can actually fire up my MS3 at home in Seattle with some of these latest features installed. 8)

Thank you MegaSquirt team! Especially James and Ken, for spending countless hours of time to develop code to allow these features to function, among all the other behind the scene things you guys do for the MegaSquirt (and MS Extra/MS3EFI) community!!
