Re: Prometheus - NEW compact ECU shield!

Excellent! A board this size would be closer to ideal for use in space-constrained applications, such as 2-wheeled and small 4-wheeled vehicles. I had a look at that SECU-3i enclosure, and it looks to be rather tall, though; one might have a challenge finding a suitable spot on some 2-wheelers for i...

Re: All rusefi boards are created modular, but some are....

Those kind of posts need a warning. I call them Jared Porn. While it is really cool, the problem is that it's expensive and complicated. We have limited time and finical resources. Even with a more simple and more common development platform, there are very few contributors. It's mostly been me and...

Re: All rusefi boards are created modular, but some are....

Is this a good time (and thread) to bring up my favorite subject once again? Hint: see link below: http://www.embedded.com/electronics-blogs/max-unleashed-and-unfettered/4438849/Xilinx-Targets-Embedded-Software-Developers-with-SDSoC It comes down to this question: What is rusEFI?

Re: Greetings from AR, USA.

Not sure about water control perhaps done with flex IO but I don't know how water control needs to work. Would also need the io available. The electrically-operated coolant recirculation systems that I've seen demoed have their own dedicated electronic controller. Not sure (though I doubt) if any a...

Re: help me what happen in my TunnerStudio

Not wanting to put words in anyone's mouth, but what I think the gentleman is trying to ask is how to display TPS data using TunerStudio.

I hope I got the gist of his query correctly.

Re: xtUML: For rusEfi Development?

Perhaps it would look similar to the Doxygen call graphics like those found here http://rusefi.com/docs/html/struct_m_a_p__sensor__config__s.html Cool! 8-) I've been reading further into xtUML's website, and it claims that C/C++, as well as VHDL, can be generated from diagrams created from xtUML (x...

Re: xtUML: For rusEfi Development?

I'm curious to see what the code would look like in UML (or in its subset xtUML) diagram form just the same.

I'll probably look into this in further detail someday.

xtUML: For rusEfi Development?

Knowing almost nothing about what is involved in embedded system development, I do my usual online research and came across this "thing" called xtUML (http://www.xtuml.org). Though I didn't understand a whole lot about it, I was - to put it mildly - quite fascinated by what I think this co...

Re: Is stm32f4 the right chip?

This question of whether or not this STM32F4 MCU and its Discovery dev. board is the right one for rusEfi, I say yes... at least for the time being; It seems to be working quite well thus far, based on the YouTube videos I've seen. Now, it's possible that development might reach a point where this M...

Is stm32f4 the right chip?

Jeez! This is more than enough techno babble bull@#$% to make your head spin! :o . Makes me wonder if switching to this Hercules from TI is worth the trouble... or is it? :?

Re: FPGA in ECU

IIRC, Xylinx has some FPGA with ADC capabilities, as do some of the others. You're probably thinking of the Xilinx Virtex line of FPGAs. not sure if any of them are automotive rated though. In another thread I noted the http://papilio.cc/ which is attempting to make FPGA easy to program similar to ...

Re: FPGA in ECU

It's important to note that your current development path is absolutely essential, so there's no need to be overly concerned at the moment with undertaking some radical FPGA ECU development. On the issue regarding analog I/O interface with FPGAs, may I direct your attention to the following article ...
