Summary of change:
vems 3.7 board '''originally vr/vr setup, home-changed to vr/hall''' engine '''BMW m50b25tu ''' * '''primary trigger=VR''' 60-2 crank ** '''R30=18k''' (but 10k or 27k should also work). You probably do NOT want to change anything around primtrig, since primtrig=VR already (1k would be too strong anyway) * '''secondary trigger=HALL''' sensor on cam ** '''Changing to HALL should be simple''', see GenBoard/Manual/InputTriggerHardWareSectrigHall ---- bottom view https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eMa0XuRHrnh7cIYlCcI1ERID85F0nHxQ top view https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HEHAyxgnL-CFirkSctx10CqGjVuHbLED * I understand that the '''sj7 which is closed need to be opened''' ** yes, unsolder ---- '''Also: apply the short according to small slanted line''' http://www.vems.hu/manual/html/images/Testing/v3.6_sec_trigger_1_m.jpg My image looks diff at this point: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WQ8ZMNXJSmv1sGjeOYzjHtMW9af0N-gW * Of course different, because yours is configured for VR '''Recommended mod:''' * the '''manually SOLDERED 2k7 (2701) resistor must be removed''' ( on your pic: at 4 hours from the southern end of hotmelt) * '''R48''' must be installed ('''input signal pullup: 2k7..4k7''') ** some hotmelt seems to be over the most convenient place for sectrig input pullup, remove southern end of hotmelt before soldering ** soldering the removed "2701" 2k7 resistor could work if not damaged, but the rescuekit (small bag included with devices) should have new resistors For the curious, About '''the other 5 holes''': * there is a '''red wire attached''' at another point on the bottom ** do i just disconnect it ? ** goes toward LM1815 pin3, should not matter. I would leave that, do the above mods, and test that way (remove if necessary, or cut+insulate or cut both ends, but it should not matter). ** actually, if you're absolutely certain the HALL sensor output is 0/5V (not 0/12V, but usually HALL output pulls to GND which is fine, even if HALL sensor is powered from 12V) the simplest hack would be to cut the northern end of red wire, blank it a few mm, and connect it to the 5V1 zener (SOD-80, left on your pic) stripe-marked cathode (or SMD pad under the cathode; trace goes to processor pin). "2701" should stay in this case (act as a pullup resistor, even if not originally ment as input pullup) *** This hack bypasses input protection so not normally done: the above recommended mod is better if possible (you have an SMD or throughole resistor 2k7 .. 4k7) First '''input tests:''' * input disconnected: DC voltage measured >3.7V * 1k between input and GND (instead of HALL sensor), DC voltage should measure: between 0.5V and 1.5V Than '''verify in InputTrigger/TriggerLog''' --------------------------------------------------- done as per pic moved the resistor so it looks as above connected the red line in the above pic got 5 v at signal and verified it by putting 1k resistor between signal and supply and got 1.5 v thank you done the wiring, connected the pc using a usb ftdi cable, updated the ini files on the software then i have done the wiring according to the vanos in http://vems.hu/download/v3/Motronic88/325-M50-vanos-and-nonvanos_OBSOLETE.xls and used http://vems.hu/download/v3/Motronic88/base_M50_vanos_1.2.31.vemscfg the car is a 92 m50 i imagine it has vr primary sensor which according to above pic my ecu is vr primary '''(how do i know which one on crank sensor is signal ? middle or end one)''' on the primary trigger there is 3 pins 3 wires i have connected the yellow wire to ec36-27(thats the only sensor connected) and connected the black to ec36-5 close to ecu and shield to battery ground. when i power on just ecu to record trigger log it says '''NO INPUT''' connected '''Crank sensor reads .519 KOhms across signal and ground''' * sounds good (although "it is working" can be confirmed with scope, or soundcard, or signal input to VEMS). * '''ec36-27 is input''' (not output), measures DC voltage=2.84V (make sure to be very clear about what is measured, where, how) ** 2.84V is way too high for primtrig VR, We'd expect around: 5 * 519 / (18519) = 0.14 V DC voltage at EC36/pin27 * My ecu has '''183 resistor at r30''' ** R30=18k is good, but still some strong pullup is in effect around primtrig VR input. '''EC36-28 not used''' (no wire in ec36/28) Should i add wire be joining ec36-28(5v out) to 27k then to the cam signal wire yellow * pullup CAM signal with 4k7 or 2k7 internally, that cannot hurt ** however, that is quite independent from the crank (VR) signal * the crank signal is VR, which does NOT need strong pullup (actually, your R30=18k seems good, but the voltage indicates something weird, maybe unintentionally tinkered around primtrig that was factory VR in the first place ?) Why not setup sectrig properly? * m50b25tu engine has camshaft angle control, it is ugly to run such a nice engine without sectrig (and finally VANOS) ** you would also find out if, for some reason sectrig HALL works, but primtrig VR not Maybe '''p259 damaged by insufficient ground ?''' That could be one possible reason to have no LM1815 (+5V) supply internally (can you measure ?), and no primtrig VR reading. * of course VR signal scopeshot, or at least DVM AC voltage measurements could help a lot to diagnose. --------------------------------------------------------- If the ecu is powered up and grounded the ec36-27 is showing 2.84between ec36-27 and ground with no sensor plugged in ! Doesnt the vr need 5v? I understand its input but its got 2.84comingout of it thats why above I actually meant to add pin28 to pin 29 to get the 5v via 27k resistor I will be running the sectrigger too but wanted to get the primary working first i do not have a scope to read the sensor. Cld i have a image of where to check for voltage as uve mentioned above and which pinon the lm1815
