Re: analog inputs: op-amp + divider - Russian - LMV324IDT

I need it for the knock sensor (sampling at 115kHz), but in this case the GBWP is more than sufficient indeed. I agree, we should not care about values near the rails, as the sensors should not go anywhere near that, it should be used to detect open loops. I would not use the same topology for knoc...

Re: '03 Miata with VVT #28

Perhaps something to consider, perhaps dithering the control signal might help. With cold oil you might be faced with some hysteresis. Hysteresis could cause mean that when you command it to go to say 0% to 50%, it only gets to 40%. Or if you go from say 100% to 50% it only gets to 60%. This can ca...

Re: analog inputs: op-amp + divider - Russian - LMV324IDT

The input can go for that range, the issue is the output. That ST chip is much better about actually being a rail to rail chip. Is .2V either rail close enough?

Re: red 2003 VVT test mule Miata #27

Looks like we won't need PID if this is true. If I understand this properly, the VVT works more like a three position switch for an electric motor. Pos 1: move backward Pos 2: stop Pos 3: move forward So all we need to do is figure out the 3 values for the solenoid that shift to these positions and...

I think that is expected. The VVT valve bascially has 3 positions: Advance, hold, retard. So you mean miata NB2.5 specifically is not really "variable valve timing" but more like "pretty much three position timing"? No, that is not what I mean. The Miata VVT system is perfectly ...

Re: universal ECU connector?

Re: Frequency-producing MAF support?

It appears the frequency decoder will need to decode between 10Hz and 15kHz to cover a variety of sensors. If we make it accurately capture the 15kHz signal, it should be accurate for the lower frequency signals. Per Nyquist this means we need to capture at least 2X the 15kHz, so the decoder will n...
