It's been about a week since I received my Megasquirt kit. The manual is very well documented, and the kit could not have go together any easier. There are a few choices that you need to make along the way. I would truly recommend reading through the manual before purchasing it. Not just read it, but understand each step.
There are several steps that are specific to the Megasquirt II daughter board. One of the steps that puzzled me, was how the tach sensor works on the Zetec.
The Zetec uses a VR sensor. The sensor puts outs a sort of AC signal, which needs to be filtered before the Megasquirt can understand it. So, follow the appropriate instructions in step 50.
Also, reaching step 65, I assembled the high current ignition driver. Since I don't have the EDIS driver, I will also need an additional BIP373 for driving the second bank of cylinders.
Doing some research, this can't be done without upgrading to MSnS-E.
So, to recap:
Assemble the VR circuit.
Assemble the high current ignition driver circuit.
Assemble the second high current ignition driver circuit, as per diyautotune.com. This is under the "Direct Coil Control Distributorless Ignition on a Megasquirt-I V3.0 or V3.57 Board"
Upgrade your firmware.
