Summary of change:
'''Developer page for AlphaN''' In the 2004.Nov.firmware (without the patch below applied) the base fueling algorithm options are * pw = MAP * VE(MAP, RPM) (speed density) (config13 bit2=0) * pw = VE(TPS, RPM) (alphaN, without MAP) (config13 bit2=1) are supported, configurable in one bit. (The only reason for having it this way in one bit was compatibility with MegaManual and MegaTune protocol) A patch applied at some point enables these new modes: * pw = MAP * VE(TPS, RPM) (alphaN, with MAP multiplication; actually multiplication with load, see the difference below) * pw = VE(MAP, RPM) (probably useless) Note that if both MAP and TPS sensors are wired and configured correctly, either mode will work, but all will result in different VE (j) table and some will be harder to tune. The patch works like this: '''Load''' can be TPS / TPS .. MAP / MAP * below ''hybrid_rpm_a'' use TPS to index the VE (and ign and lambdatarget) table(s) that is VE(TPS, RPM) * above ''hybrid_rpm_m'' use speed density mode VE(MAP, RPM) (m for MAP or max) * load is a "blending of MAP and TPS signal" between hybrid_rpm_a and hybrid_rpm_m (as RPM goes up, it changes from fully TPS to fully MAP) '''multuplication with load''' * config13 bit2 chooses only if multiplication with load is applied or not ** config.config13 bit2=0 (multiplication with load is applied). With low hybrid_rpm_a=hybrid_rpm_m=00 this is the pure speed-density setup (TPS is used below RPM<0 that is never; MAP is used above RPM>0 that is always ). Multiplication with load makes sense for turbo engines, so the MAP also does matter above certain RPM, not only TPS. ** config.config13 bit2=1 (multiplication with load is NOT applied, useful for turbo). With high hybrid_rpm_a=hybrid_rpm_m=FF this is the pure alpha-n setup (MAP is not used, ever, since 25500 RPM is not reached at all). New tests here. MembersPage/SamuelLindkvist/AlphaN When OK, update AlphaN and GenBoard/Manual. ---- '''More details''' From fuelcalc.c the code is simpler than the blabla explanation: <code> if (!(config.config13 & _BV(CONTROL_STRATEGY))){ // speed-density uint16_t kpa_or_tps; if( engine_rpm8() >= config.hybrid_rpm_m ){ // normally, the MAP is used: kpa_or_tps = engine.kpa250; } else { // TODO: constant multiplier when RPM <= config.hybrid_rpm_a // for AlphaN, the MAP is not fully trusted kpa_or_tps = engine.kpa_tps_blend << 2 ; } res = mult_div596( kpa_or_tps, res ); } else { res = mult16_8(res, 172) >> 8; } </code> remember tps_or_kpa is the TPS / MAP blend as determined by hybrid_rpm_a and hybrid_rpm_m '''Thumb rule''' * always adjust hybrid_rpm_a and hybrid_rpm_m to determine the RPM for TPS / TPS-MAP / MAP * The alpha-n naming is very confusing, really. config13 bit2 should be called "disable multiplication with load", because that's what it does when bit2=1 . ---- Emils notes: Checked how another system works, will try to write down some info here.. * VE table runs fully alpha-n, ends at 100% TPS-load * lambda and spark table uses MAP instead * fuel amount on boost is calculated from 100% TPS VE entry, multiplied with MAP and lambda-table. * This system doesnt need any MAP multiplication table, but in a possible VEMS implementation, it could be wise to have a MAP vs fuel multiplication table with a few cells. for example 200 kPa = 200% fuel, 250kPa = 250% fuel, this is likely the correct settings, but might be handy to test different settings, especially with bad injector control (not flat VE table) ---- '''See also''' * AlphaN * GenBoard/Manual/Config/ManifoldAbsolutePressure * [http://not2fast.wryday.com/efi/blendingMAPnTPS.shtml theories/algorithms to blend alpha-n and speed density]
