Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: I have a 1986 Skoda Rapid that will get the new engine from Skoda Fabia and the GenBoard. I purchased this engine with whole accessories like injectors, electric throttle body, ignition module mounted over plugs, MAP and IAT, but without ECU. I'm interested in electronics and engine management.. '''My setup:''' ---- '''Genboard''' version 3.3, s.n. 301 ---- '''Engine:''' It is 4 cylinder 1397 ccm OHV, distributerless wastedspark ignition. ---- '''Ignition out''' Original VW module. It have two logic level inputs for 1-4 and 2-3 cylinder, without dwell control. It takes spark at falling edge. It need less than 10 mA input current, so I dont need ignition IGBTs. The common solution is to use 74HC259 output, with 510 Ohm (270 Ohm..1kOhm). See [http://shop.x-dsl.hu/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=48 assembled controller specs in webshop] for which channels are traditionally used: check the 6+2 configuration: (namely channel3=EC36pin36 and channel5=EC36pin12 are logic-level) but you can use any, of course. Thanks for info! ---- '''Trigger''' ''Primary: '' VR, I connected JP2 with JP7 and shorted SJ6 I tried to connect square signal to primary triger input via cap and it seems to be working.. ''Secondary: '' Hall on cam. I found this Abaut config for v3.3: "v3.3 Secondary trigger (Trigg2) Hall setup: nothing to do" There are several pages abaut Secondary trigger (Trigg2) Hall setup, but only one with info abaut v3.3 See * GenBoard/Manual/InputTrigger * GenBoard/Manual/InputTriggerHardWare * InputTrigger * http://vems.hu/www.vems.co.uk/VEMS/InputTrigger.html ---- '''Throttle''' Electronically controlled with DC motor. I want use it only because I purchased it with engine. If someone want, I can exchange it for standard throttle. I'm mot fully decided for use it or exchange. This throttle body is originally mounted on this engine. It have TPS sensor. My configuration is like on this page http://www.egr.msu.edu/autoweb/Class/Proj_2001/throttle/project.htm. Nice ! What is the throttle type exactly ? Maybe photo ? I'll put some photos and info later. It looks nearly same as one at link above, but only 45 mm diameter. Now I cant find file upload to VEMS server, but I can put it to another place.. So my plans are to make separate unit that will read TPS and Pedal Position then compare values, make some adjustment and calculate PWM for H-bridge. Initial position of throttle is little open so I think that for normal iddle it need little closing. It is very reasonable to put * '''RPM into the equation: at low RPM, apply nonlinear pedal position=>throttle angle'''. This enhances drivability (the only reason for electronic throttle, right?) This may be nice. * and possibly MAP feedback would be nice too Can you write more abaut MAP feedback, please? As I said I need only basic throttle control from pedal, so I didn't searched for anny control method. I understand that you need a several-ampere H-bridge driver (as an addon hardware, since the stepper output can only drive 1A, or max 2A if 2 channels are connected parallel on both input and output), but what else would be needed on that device? It's better to put anything else into genboard firmware. ''Here is some info abaut DC motor in throttle:'' * lockup current (typical) 9.5 A * maximum constant current at 212°F 2.5 A (effective value) * nominal current (no-load) < 1.5 A (average value) * maximum allowed generator current < 10.0 A Yes it could be nice to have implemented this in genboard firmware. But I haven't many experiences with programing. I didn't study genboard sources detailed. Can someone help "howto implement Electronically controlled throttle to Genboard code"? :-) Anny template.. :-) Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
