My Progress status
This page should describe my progress
17 Apr. 2005
Time is a limiting factor in my progress, but i managed to do a little in the past weeks. I have started to modify "config.txt" and "tables.txt", since i needed them to finish testing the hardware for !WBO2.
I adjusted wbo2_pump_pw_zero=64 for a target of 3.94V (it was the same value as the board was delivered with in the initial firmware).
Next I took the warmup parameters from Mik's Example files as starting point, and set the wbo2_ri_target=80 (128 ohm, measured on sensor's calibration Ri, pin6 on LSU04).
I connected a light bulb to test the warmup process, and it all went fine, with the lamp glowing gradually lighter as the warmup values changed. Connecting a 50 ohm resistor on the sensor inputs showed Ri=49 on the LCD, so thats OK, and the heater voltage dropped imediatly, as expected when Ri gets low.
Then i adjusted wbo2_nernstdc_target=A6 with LSU04 connected to give a measurement of 0.45 Volt across nernst cell.
And finally i adjusted wbo2_calibration=C1 to give a o2 reading of 2095 on the LCD, as described in the html manual.
Last i tried to breathe on the sensor to see the reading drop to around 1800, and back up again in free air.
I have also connected LED's on all the injector outputs, the ignition out, fuel pump out, and put a ptc on the clt_in and iat_in. Then i checked all the output with the mdhXX command. And with the finger as input trigger i se all the injektors fire in sequence, and ign fire, and fp turn on, and wbo2 turning on, and on the LCD i can see all teh parameters change as. iat, map, clt, rpm stays on 1000 since i use 50Hz stimulus on 6 cyl, coil type trigger with 6 teeth per cranck revolution (coil in distributor) configuration.
Still need a lot of decissions to make in config, and tables. But now the hardware seems to be tested OK. So maybee it's time to put the vems in it's box, nd start to plan the installation in the car.

Compilation of firmware problem from MembersPage/SteenAndersen/Questions page is solved.
1 - I did un-install WinAVR version "WinAVR-20050214-install.exe"
2 - Installed the version from "WinAVR-20040720-install.exe"
3 - used, make clean[Enter] ; sh [enter] , then make all [enter]; and this time no errors
Viola.
Actually it only worked on my old download of the firmware from 27 Jan 2005, when i try to compile my latest download from 26 March 2005 it fail with tihis error.\n
sipr.c: In function `sipr_process_inc': sipr.c:69: error: `sipr' undeclared (first use in this function) sipr.c:70: error: `sipr_recCRC' undeclared (first use in this function) D:\app\WinAVR\utils\bin\make.exe: *** [sipr.o] Error 1 rm eventqueue.o ign_logging.o phasesignal.o benchmark.o dispatcher.o engine.o me nu.o injconf.o ignconf.o knock.o multitooth.o edis.o ringbuf.o injector.o boostc ontrol.o sh-2.04$
Hmmmmmmmmm..........
A: Spir is only added to latest CVS; It seems to me you are not using the released firmware from GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges, current CVS is _not stable_, stick to using releases - DB
OK : Follow UP
I was able to compile the "released" version download, so compilation enviroment must be ok, and the 26 mrs. 2005 download i have must be bad or broken. I'll stick to released version.
BUT in the MembersPage/JohanEriksson/VerThreeFirmForDummies that i followed, it says to download the firmvare from csv with the GETFIRM.bat; but that apperently not always a good idea.
So maybe a correcttion to the MembersPage/JohanEriksson/VerThreeFirmForDummies was a good idea :-)
Update: 03 Apr. 2005
OK. I gave up to compile the Firmware, and downloaded the released version form GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges
I got the serial port to work from perl by installing Win32-API + Serial port support. And succeded to upload Vems.hex file to GenBoard.
I tried to use Megatune, but the configuration files seems to be wrong. I can see the reealtime parameters like temp, rpm, clt, iat, a.s.o.
Then i trid to install MegaTunix, it seem to work until i enter the motor detail s page then i crashes.
So for now i only have RS232, LCD, PS2, and perl up working
I tested almost all the port's with mdhXX command.
Next i think i have to start consider how the tables.txt and config.txt will look like.
Update: 25. March 2005
I Have Connected and Tested Communication to RS-232, PS2 Keyboard, and LCD Display. I tried the mxc command, ant tried the mcd and got the whole set off parameters in return. YAHOOO....... :-)
So far it's a success; but i must say that it's not that easy, because of the lack off a better toturial or building manual.
The PS2 connection has been corrected in [the manual] - thanx for the feedback.
