M5 Turbo, IgnOut ground? Inverted?

Post by M5Boost »

v3, msns-e, vr sensor, 60-2 decoder, single coil w/ dist.

I see on the wheel decoder page that the wiring example for a single coil shows pin 15 connected to ground.

I have my connector wired just like the external wiring picture with grounds on 19, and 7-11. Is this just an extra pin to get more ground continuity from, or am i missing something?

One more: The wheel decoder page says to jump VROUTINV to TSEL and it shows the setup window in MT with inverted set to "no". I ordered my v3 from protocar and told them im using msns-e with vr sensor. They jumped TSEL to VROUT. Does this mean i need to select inverted "yes"?

What is the correct setup with decoder and single coil?

Thank you so much for your time and help!

jump VROUT to TSEL and says INVERTED.
No! Don't do this. Please follow the instructions.

The spark output inverted has nothing to do with with VROUT/VROUTINV selection.
Doing what was suggested will result in incorrect timing and a melted VB921.

oups, right . its only the reading is inverted with the VRoutINV, not the spark output.

I run spark inverted and the other side of the coil is at +12V.
