Feature Request

Post by Gazbon008 »

I am only new to Megasquirt so I hope I am not repeating a request for something that is not technically possible

Basic/Load Settings > Tacho Output Dialog box has options for

Speed
Can be set to one of two options:
• Normal – an output pulse is generated matching each cylinder event, i.e., 4 cylinder engines have 4
pulses per engine cycle;
• Half speed – output runs at half speed. This can enable a 4-cylinder tacho to be used on an 8-cylinder
engine.

Probably the most common conversion is to drop a V8 where a 6 cyl used to live.
leaving a 6 cyl Tacho in the dash

Could a third option be added to Speed - 3/4 speed - output runs at three quarters speed. This enables a 6-cylinder tacho to be used on an 8-cylinder engine.

Cheers :D

That's already supported in the current firmware.

Thanks James Glade to here that

Could you supply a link to the latest Version

Do I need to update Tunerstudio / MSExtra firmware loaded onto the MS-2 or both ?

Cheers

I have upgraded Tunerstudio to the current version (2.6.19) and the MsII/Extra firmware to ver 3.4.0

Upon going to the Tacho dialog box the Speed dropdown box still has only 2 options Normal and Half

How do I get to Three Quarters speed ?

You have posted in the MS3 development section. MS3 supports this, not MS2.
