Default Knock sensor help with MS2E on 1.6

Hey guys, I'm in the search of some help. I currently have a MS2E from MS Labs on my 93' 1.6, running great. Happened to install a knock sensor last weekend, but for the love of christ would not get it to read propertly. I've installed it next to oil filter, it's a bosch 2 wire donut style. Wires are connected to DB37 (white for signal and black/green as sensor ground), would not get any reading. Only two inputs i've are ADC1 and ADC2, the later one shows ~5% like stuck on there, doesnt move on rev up or hiting with metal near sensor. Kind of lost on what can it be, is there a pin involved on the board or something that am I missing? I've brought it second hand, no instructions or whatsoever.

Board reads Enhanced MS2 V6.0b and the microsquirt module it's V2.2m.

Thanks!

On the Enhanced MS2 V6.0, you don't see the knock % directly in the MS2 itself. You setup the knock threshold in the CAN1 processor, and when the knock % is above the threshold, the CAN1 processor will pull the SPAREADC input to ground and trigger the signal for the MS2 to start pulling time. This is because unfortunately the MS2 doesn't support knock % over CAN.
