I had another read through the MEGASQUIRT information and it appears the
newest version of their board can control the injectors  as well as the the
MSD 6A  capacitive discharge, multiple spark ignition controller.


I am not completely clear how many of the MSD 6A units are needed for a four
plug, four coil 13B.  One for each coil?

Can you capture the text or give me a clue about where I can read
that in the Megasquirt doc? I suspect they mean a piston engine
with a distributor.

No MSD system as far as I can tell will fire more than once at
over 3300 RPM. Here is a scr capture from the MSD6 doc.

In any event you will need four MSD systems I think. One for each
plug. Gets expensive and heavy. You might get away with three
using the waste spark trick.

Perry Mick and I are working on a rotary ignition system that
will fire six or so times at 7500 RPM for each plug.
It is complicated but it will all be in one box.

Perry, how is the tranformer coming?
