Yes, MS3 will run COP directly. the original poster has a MS1 V3, which won't run spark at all. The Microsquirt will run a 4 cylinder COP, but not a 6 cylinder without some modifications. It would STILL be a wasted spark set up. EDIS is just much simpler. In order to go sequential COP, you would need a Cam position sensor, which complicates things just a little bit more. I guess it is how technical you want to get with it. With my setup EDIS was stone cold reliable, and i was also able to concoct a wasted spark COP system.

Is it something about COP versus CNP? With a 3-wire COP and providing the +12v separately, just logic from the MS3 can't you use COP directly?

I've been reading lots about using my microsquirt v3 for ignition and its pretty confusing, but it seems I can run wasted spark CNP directly at least, without EDIS.
