Ground control

Post by maych87 »

I am fairly new to the megasquirt world. I bought a pre assembles ms3 3.57 with the expansion board. On my vehicle there is a resonance flap that opens at 5600 rpm. It is a solenoid that operates a vacuum valve to open the flap. The solenoid has constant 12v and is ground controlled. What is the easiest way to hook this up. Because I did not build my board I am a bit lost when it comes to modifying the board for anything I cannot find documentation on. Since I am using the expansion board for my injectors is there a way that I can hook up this resonance flap solenoid to one of the main board injector circuits since they are ground controlled? Thank you in advance for the help.

Why not use one of the six ground-switch outputs on the MS3X. You'll find these documented in the Hardware Manual.
