Warning:
Only attempt to use this device if you know what you are doing, and always double check your connections before
applying power. Incorrect use can damage your ECU. This is not a plug and play solution – you must check the
schematics and ensure each circuit is correct for the application you intend to use it for.
1. Specifications
Assembly is rather straight forward however I suggest you adhere to the following rules:
Start with the smaller items such as the resistors first and work into for the taller components last
For the 3 pin headers, a rubber band can be used to hold in place while soldering the first connection.
Ensure the polarity of the LEDs is correct (align the flat of the LED base with the PCB print), be careful the Spark
LEDs are placed opposite to the other 2 rows.
There are 6x potentiometers in the kit, 5 green (10K) and 1 black in colour (100K). The black Potentiometer is to
be used in the Coolant temp position (CLT).
The resistor arrays must be soldered in the correct way, the small dot on the resistor must align with the dot
printed on the PCB as shown below:
The flat section of SW1 and SW2 must align with the line on the PCB footprint to ensure correct orientation as
shown below.
Ensure correct fitment of fuses and capacitors, identification of these components as shown below.
3. IDC Header
The header allows for a neater connection to the ECU and the ability to make patch harnesses to suit different ECUs.
No hardware is provided in the kit to adapt to any specific ECU. Below is the pinout of the IDC connector. An option
for a 26 pin header with pins (22-26AWG) is the XG5N-261 with XG5W-0231 pins which can be purchased from
Digikey, although using a ribbon cable style connector would be cheaper.
4. Grounds
*important* The pin labelled GND on the green screw connectors is the signal ground, this is primarily the ground
for the potentiometers and is separated from the main ground of the board (Note the corresponding pin on the IDC
header is labelled as S_GND on the picture above – pin 23). If you have printed your own boards from the files
provided this will be labelled correctly as S_GND on the PCB. Please connect this terminal to the signal ground wire
on your ECU.
Note the circuits provided for testing the injectors are low current, in the unlikely event that you are having issues
that may be related to heat of your injector drivers this may not be seen when using this device. For load testing of
these circuits I recommend sourcing an old injector to test the ECU, this will provide more realistic resistance and
inductance properties to load up the driver and induce the fault condition.
6. Crank/Cam outputs
Crank and cam output are handled by Arduino Nano with ARDUstim software loaded (not supplied), for more
information on loading the software and its abilities visit:

7. RPM Potentiometer
As downloaded the code for the RPM potentiometer is there but disabled via “commenting out”, to enable this
feature (and enable you to change RPM with no computer connected) you can delete the /* and */ characters
around this section of code before loading to your Nano.
Also check lines 10, 11 and 12 on the below picture, they should look as per below. If they are commented out with
/* and */ characters they must be deleted for the POT control to work
8. Base plate
Optional (but strongly suggested) is the use of the 3d printed base plate, this will prevent any of the circuits shorting
out on the bottom of the circuit board and has a clip to hold a 9v battery to power the Arduino. Printing in PLA is fine
but PETG may be a better alternative if you intend to use the device in an engine bay at any point.
9. Bill of materials
NOTE: Arduino Nano not included in this kit – a genuine Arduino or clone will be OK, if purchasing a clone unit it
is advised to find a unit that uses the FTDI chip as it will provide more stable communications over the Chinese
CH340 units. If you purchase unit with the CH340 chip you must download the driver before the Arduino IDE will
recognise your device.
