Plans
- Incorporation of high spec boost control and water injection to GenBoard
- I am planning to do this as my final year project in my Computer Systems engineering degree
- Have built an M30 3.3l turbo powered E30 BMW for physical system testing
- Need to know how far others have gotten with boost control and water injection systems to see whether something else would be better to work on
- Planning to create dual PWM controlled solenoid valve boost control (this is almost ready);
- did this require more PCB hardware?
- Is it up to par with the best stand alone systems?
- I am looking to integrate Boost control, detonation detection and water injection, sort of automatic power maximising control system
- water injection system capable of complexity up to injector per cylinder level (there is enough chance to work on staged and multifuel setups; this is a nice topic).
- need to obtain Genboard and related components for install and testing - I have proposed this work to the University and am in the process of finding the best project supervisor - how do I go about obtaining the hardware??????
- signal simulator board still in existence? we use the mst..,msp..,msq.. commands to emit stimulator-signal (also works on a running board, possible stimming itself, see OnlineCourse/OffEngineTesting). (and MAP, CLT is easy, just a variable R)
- I am in New Zealand, would like to speak with major developer directly, how to do this?
- I am very much looking forward to extending your already great system!
- Looking to use COP or CNP ignition, has anybody done a succesful conversion on an M30 engine? (I don't think so, but M30 isn't different from other engines from ECM point of view).
- Can original distributor be left ( i.e hall effect with 6 tooth wheel) for ignition timing, then let board send siganls to COP?
NEW!!! Implementation
As part of my project I have produced a prototype board to be compatible with most VEMS software using LPC 32 bit micro. PCB is being made, will be here by July 2nd
Too bad there was no communication before doing this, we have ARM based boards in pipeline using one of the new Atmel chips. We made a last minute decision not to use the Philips LPC because of bad support lack of good ADC. But ARM is ARM and having a LPC port opens up an other path for us. Please log on #avrboard on efnet to try to quickly work out a common goal for the ARM porting effort. -Jörgen
To Jorgen - The code is currently being further abstracted from the hardware, should be done this week. I am putting the boards together right now - we have excellent support for the philips chips and I have used them extensively. Will post more when working.
- ISSUES
- We are busy porting the code to the LPC, has anyone done any of this yet
- would really like a genboard to compare performance of the two, we are willing to provide all hardware info in exchange, and naturally any code we add can be added to the VEMS open source project.
First VEMS install begins
- I have built a loom and Genboard up for my M30 turbo powered 3 series.
- Using 60-2 factory trigger wheel and VR sensor
- Testing injection with LED's , planning to use CNP ignition also but will use VEMS for injection only in first phase.
