    I'm in the process of switching over to pcb 3.57 and I cannot find online or on here how to setup the box to run an msd 6a. I set it up very easily on pcb 2.2, but I can't seem to find a write up for 3.57. I did however find one for pcb 3.0 but I don't think the setup for this board is the same. Is this something i just setup in the software settings?

    It would be the same as the 3.0, just some of the jumper location descriptions change. They are functionally the same board.

    So ive seen. I cannot seem to find r43 on the 3.57 board. The other step is to solder a 330 ohm resistor to the top of r26 then to IGBTIN with a wire. This all seems pretty straight forward, but the resistors on this board are tiny.

    This is what im reading^

    I dont think the v3 diagram is necessarily wrong but q16 isnt needed. Just use led jumper pad (pad1 on bottom row) to go to ign. That puts spark on pin 36. The rest pf the software settings are good.

    Nope just the pad it already has an led pullup. I was wrong jumper should be to igbtin and the jumpershould be on pins 1/2 of a removed q16.
