2nd COM wiring

2nd COM port for live data (FW 1.2.35 and newer), 2nd RS232 3 pin (unpopulated header) towards the main processor:

Located above the MAX232D (SOIC16) chip, different header, otherwise the same pinout as the 1st RS232 (which is towards the L293D stepper driver IC). See GenBoard/VerThree/Schematic

Able to use external wideband controller for logging and EGO?

Curious if it is possible to use an external WB controller output (0-5v) connected to analog input on VEMS and have VEMS use it for EGO correction feedback, etc?

For logging: of course (any analog input can be logged)


Honda NSX trigger use

Honda NSX has a 24 tooth crank teeth (mounted on cam, one on each bank) + 1 tooth cam sync tooth (also inside same pickup).

So 24+1, both cam and crank are VR sensors. Is this a possible trigger arrangement that the VEMS would be capable of?

24+1 is supported (actually a basic type). Checkout "configlet" ( VemsTune / "Primary Trigger" dialog, bottom entry).

For any VR, make sure to apply good polarity: GenBoard/Manual/VrSensor/Polarity

Can I assume that using the 4 cyl 12+extra option (coil type) would be correct for this application? Choose that (the "trigger visual" dialog might be helpful for this also), and verify primtrig settings:

New MAT Enrichment table base configuration

I have noticed that the new firmwares are being compiled with an 8x8 table to configure fuel correction based on MAT. Problem is, I cannot find an explanation as to what the scaling is.

Also some defined default values should be given, which can then later be trimmed according to application.

Defaults are given in every ECU sent

This is the screen I am referring to (1.0.79rc2 firmware):

What defaults should we be using.

Bosch IAC:

I quick drawing I made of the flyback for use with the 2 PIN Bosch PWM IAC (spring type). Thanks again to Jorgen for helping me with this!

Here are 2 good printable degree wheels that might help someone get their project going when it comes time to setup their crank trigger.

Here a factory VW press on crankshaft 60-2 wheel and sensor:

Part numbers:

For wheel and seal rings/mounting plastic - 030 103 171 L

For sensor - 030 906 433 Q

Information was taken from GrmRacers WIKI page, thanks to him everyone that uses 60-2 setups has an easy way to get the information they'd need. So I copied it here for my own reference. But all credit goes to him! :)

MegaTune is an easy way to setup the trigger values, but you need to know what you are changing.

current decimal values

Primary Trigger GRM setup Mcel
Edge Rising Rising
Type Multitooth Multitooth
Filtering Disabled Disabled
Tooth Relation (Usually Disabled) Disabled Disabled
Trigger Settings
TDC after trigger (degrees) 60.0 60.0 VAG wheel on ABA block is 90d off TDC at the center of the missing teeth via calibrated eyeball
Number of teeth on wheel 58 58 actual nubs
Trigger Tooth 3 15 The third nub after the space actually the missing ones are counted, 3= the first after the space VAG ABA wheel appears to have the center of the missing teeth @ 90d off TDC, would this make this value 2
Next Trigger Tooth 15 (V8)/20 4clyn 15 Manual states NextTrigTooth= imaginary teeth * 2 / cylinders (60 *2 / 4 = 30)
Crank minimum period (usec) 1280 1280
Tooth Width
Engine Phase, when reset240240 determines toothwidth unit; (equivalent to 720 crankdegrees = 2 crankrot= 120 teeth)
Angular width of tooth 2 2 120 teeth is 240, so 1 tooth width is 2
Angular width of missing tooth 6 63 times the above (2 missing teeth)
This part needs to be made either transparent to the end user or extremely well explained with a shortcut on howto do it.
Tooth Relation to Normal (usually 181) 181 181
Tooth Relation to Missing (usually 118) 118 118

These are all you settings, but these are not normally how motorheads describe thier motors or triggers.

Typical Descriptions

So using these values how do we get the other ones.


Suggestion

Do the number trunkation etc in the make mtt portion. Most NON - EE/CompEE/CS engineers will not get the howto about converting decimals to an arbitrary (seemingly) number less than 255 ( 8-bit micro unsigned issue)...

So basically a good picture and straightforward equation, IF it is not automagically done for the config. If they don't care, they should copy a working example and not mess with the numbers they don't know.

Min Crank Period (review this statement)

This definately needs to be calculated somewhere else.. I thought it was for "cranking" aka starting the car. but it is directly related to Rev limiter.. you could call this the OVERREV point or something. I'm guessing its an early variable.

Angular width, etc.. This should all be auto-calculated.

since an 8bit number only can goto 255 (8-bit unsigned) so the whole point of this is scaling.

Example 60-2 wheel

  1. 1 its a ratio..
  1. 2 Given the number of teeth in a 720d rotation what is the new number in this ratio
  1. 3 Scaled Tooth angle is y
  2. 4 Scaled missing tooth angle is y * # of missing teeth

Proposed table

Discussion about how to setup and understand h[1] array for 1.1.x firmwares. Will eventually update with proper explanation, but for now this is better then nothing :)
