Default Setting up Engine Setting for flatshift??

Setting up Engine Setting for flatshift???
Can anyone help me with the setup of my geartronics flatshift system on my emerald ecu?

I dont know what to set the ignition settings too and how they effect the running of the motor. Its currently set a 0* BTDC but dont know whether to advance or retard it?

Also, On emerald ECU's, they have the option of a "1k pull up resistor" on the input pin settings. What does this do, and how would i use it on a Earth switched ignition cut?

Cheers all

Might be an idea to ring Emerald in regards to this? Dave Walker is usually very helpful

Do you have the K3 manual?

The pull up resistor is tied to 12v so the input isn't floating when the switch isn't connected. So 12v to resistor, other end of resistor to ecu input and also to clutch switch. Other end of clutch switch to ground. Switch needs to make contact when clutch is pressed.

I don't have a clutch switch as the geartronics ecu sends a earth to the input on the emerald ecu so is basically the switch itself.
