Summary of change:
== Welcome to the VEMS Wiki! == The high-end product is GenBoard/VerThree. It's not possible to add new hardware features (everything added already), so development targets are: * make the install procedure simpler, features easier to configure * new software features, like ** support for the most exotic trigger types ** and networking of devices '''GenBoard/VerThree with MAP connection:''' http://shop.x-dsl.hu/catalog/images/vems_box320_trans.gif * See GenBoard/Manual and DocsPage * See MembersPage and make subpages for your projects. If you have any questions, you need to summarize the requirements and the current state of your research on your pages (even if you use ListsAndForums, it is very unlikely to get good answers without good questions!) * You will also find '''project development''' information in the wiki. This will lead you to endless information about engine management system related sensors, devices, assembly, and some non-specific frequently asked questions (FAQ). '''GenBoard/VerThree with onboard MAP, and flying loom EGT, LCD and PS2 connections:''' http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMSUserManual/VEMSConnectorsLabels.jpg ---- === The Wiki and Collaborating === This website uses a '''Wiki''' engine to '''allow you the developer, programmer, user, etc to interact''' completely with the developmental process of open source engine performance or the evolution of your engine-project. Please take care of VEMS by reading the TermsOfAgreement page. If you would like to learn how to use the wiki and what it takes for proper formating, then just [http://tavi.sourceforge.net/FormattingRules click here]. Enjoy! ---- === News === * '''2005.05.23.''' the assembled controller product options were standardized, so there are less variations, but still keeping versatility. Related WebShop text was updated * '''2004.11.01.''' We started a run of CNC frontplate (the newest design, similar to CaseFrontplate but still simpler without the pegs and easy to assemble) and endplate (testrun first) in a local shop, dropping the unreliable shop. I hope this ends the terrible situation that such simple parts delay shipment of items by weeks. * ''' 2004.10.04.''' I got the picknplace manufactured V3.2 boards. ** the PCB quality is awesome (including the edges) ** the solder-protect quality is extreme (unlike v3.0 and v3.1 that pealed off relatively easy if soldered too long: this is very hard to remove) ** it is dark-green (I said we'd prefer blue, but ... sigh) ** '''the parts-placement and reflow quality is awesome. I think we finally arrived to our future manufacturing facility. They make industrial controllers and very dense computers on the same machine. Very impressive, really. Over any expectations. We'll also make our next boards 0603.''' ** I played a bit tonight to get the first v3.2 up and tested (soldered the throughole parts: pinheaders, transient protection diode; tested ISP, RS232, LCD, ign259, mcp3208). * ''' 2004.09.08.''' Site has been given a face lift, and development for the GenBoard/VerThree (v3.x) ECU Manual has taken on a new pace. Please read read GenBoard/Manual for the latest! * ''' 2004.07.15. '''As v3.1 stock (from the automated assembly run) is getting low, we will soon start preparing the v3.2 run. However there are some decisions yet to be made. There will be no topology differences, but maybe we can gain some (slight)advantage by designing a fully custom case (GenBoard/VerThree/CustomCNCCase ) and making the right side (power transistors) to match, but the overall work seems a bit too much. * ''' 2004.05.14. '''I got v3.1 boards from the first automated assembled batch up and running and tested. Very nice board to work with, great design electronically and mechanically too, good job, guys. ---- === Disclaimers === If you are not familiar with the [http://auto.howstuffworks.com/engine.htm basic operations of a gasoline engine, better read here] first. The site assumes some basic knowledge of engine operation and tuning. Many pages assume knowledge that is on a different page (and not in the above basic introduction). If you find this please edit the page to make it point to that page (if it's not already so). The edit page function is at the bottom of all pages. If you dont know where to find the information just ask on a similiar relevent page. Sometimes is just takes some looking around to find the needed information.
