Crank pull-up
 
I recently got a used pre-assembled MS3X. It ran an NB1 previously. On my JimStim I can only get a crank signal if I pull up the crank signal to 5V. Is this normal?

Yes.

Both the crank and cam sensors on the NB are of the open-collector output type. This means that they provide a closure to ground when active. As such, you must provide an external pullup voltage via a resistor (1k is typical) to their output pin in order to produce a useful signal.

The cam signal from the JimStim doesn’t require a pull-up, but the crank signal does. Does that mean my board has a pull-up on the expander card, but not the main board?

The NB crank sensor doesn’t have its own pull-up from what you said. I wonder then how the PO ran their car.

Also, what jumpers are recommended on the 3.57 board. Or rather, where should I look to find this info? MS Manual?

From the manual I’m reading that R57 needs a 1k essentially.

So, just to be sure the Miata’s hall sensor on the cam doesn’t have an internal pull-up, and therefore I need R57.

Adjustment of R52 and R56 doesn’t affect that I need a pull-up.

Im just really confused how this board ran an NB lol.

Miata's use a Hall sensor right? Therefore a pull-up is required.Edit -
I don't have my iron on me right now, so I tried touching a 1k across two pads. Didn't work. Probably not the best way to go about it, just figured I'd try.

Sorry for the bump, I just have a pre-assembled MS3X and trying to figure out if I need to modify anything other than the 12V flyback clamp.

Did you end up needing a 1k resistor across R57?
