I have decided to use the Megasquirt
system to control the turbo compound engine on the
dyno
motor. Tracy's computer is too hard to tune
for the dyno loads. Also the price is right
on the Megasquirt. I know how to program the
6800 processors in assembly language so I can
make changes in the code for aircraft use or turbo
compound use.

Anybody using Megasquirt on here with their
rotary engine?

Paul,

I've been a lurking here for years...  I have run MS
in various configurations in my two RX-7's.  In its
most recent configuration, I'm controlling fuel and
spark on the turbo 13B installed in my old '79.  Drop
me a line if you have any questions.  MS has grown in
many directions, and it may be hard to dig through the
myriad of hardware/software combinations.

Thanks for responding Roger.
Yes there sure is a lot to learn.

My tendency is go with the 68HC08 Printed Circuit Board 3
to keep it simple.  I am not a fan of the C programming
language. I have years of expierence with programming
real time 6502 systems so the 68HC08 is a piece of cake.
Also the Megasquirt ASM source code is well documented.

Ignition holds no problems as the rotary will run
with a fixed advance and firing both plugs at the
same time. However it looks like the software from England
"MegasquirtnSpark-extra Firmware for Megasquirt"
is a desirable addition for a turbo charged engine.

Are there any suppliers I should stay away from?
