Mon, 29 March 2004 10:15 UMS and the upcoming MS-II are majority surface mount components, so will be harder to assemble. the firmware in the MS can be configured in many different ways and you can write your own if you want.. it is ALL OPEN SOURCE. we do group buys of at least 15 kits at a time, and source some parts from digikey, some parts from Futurlec, some parts from Electus, the case from Heeger, and the partial kit (PCB, programmed processor, MAP sensor, and FET driver chip) from Bruce and Al (the designers) by doing it this way, we reduce the price of the kits greatly over what it costs someone to buy one whole kit themselves.. i bought my first one form the US group buy and it and the stim cost me $330 now it is about $200 for us to do it.. don't i feel jipped as for ignition.. there are 2 solutions atm that are just firmware upgrades in the current MS box, these ARE Megasquirt'n'EDIS and Megasquirt'n'spark. there is another solution running atm that uses a seperate MS box, called Megaspark. the benefit of running two boxes is independence of control systems, and you can tune both simultaneously.. the UMS will be like a new generation of ECU, in that the outputs will be 'configurable' ie, you have 12 poutputs to run as injection, ignition, PWM, auto shift control.. whatever. the MS still hs it's place in that it is less complex, easy to construct and install, uses large components (non surface mount) and will still be cheaper. oh, and it will control 95% of motors. you can also use a stock ECU to control ignition, and then just disconnect the injectors, and run them with the MS.. many many options. there probably will be add on boards for ignition for the mS, in fact our aussie guru, Dave Jeal, built his own MS from scratch, added more injector drivers, and incorporated a megaspark board, all in the same box... depends on how much effort you want to put in really....
