1.2.42 firmware (1.2.41 or newer is needed).

Investigating trigger setting for Lotus 6+1 trigger wheel.

Please see MembersPage/CustomExtraTooth

(but also similar to Honda extrapulse and shortgaptrigger below).


Config guidelines

NOTE: "trigger settings visual dialog in VT" is for missing tooth and coiltype, NOT for special trigger types. It is forbidden to use that dialog for special triggers, do NOT even open it, use the simple dialog.

Starting from Honda K20 (or rather Fiat Stilo but disable camsync; burn, reboot);

Relevant, but uncertain

after selecting Fiat Stilo => maserati special setting will be possible (non-greyed) (maserati_special primary_trigger)

almost

I found the settings i can read RPM, IGN driven, but the RPM is fluctating (0 30 0 30 cyl separated spark delay might have caused it).


Sounds like

primary_trigger=29 (decimal 41)

tooth_wheel=02

The following seems to be the key to get it work:

toothrel_normal=01 (normal tooth: 16 .. 100% Really tried 40..50% or so ?)

toothrel_missing=F0 (missing tooth: 125 .. 300%)

similar to Honda K20 2005+ but less teeth

I tried the honda k20 12+extra trigger settings but not read RPM, no ignition.

  • with what changes ?
  • Exact .vemscfg ???

Ignition outputs - wasted spark


Logs

The car is still not started up.

Should be possible to configure (no firmware mod needed)

Or maybe

would be easier starting point ? Either way, just need some tweakinf anyway

To compare the exact position of the extra pulse to TDC is very hard because the engine is rear mounted.
