Re: Setting up the board with pre-compiled binaries

The Wiki and Forum says to use the rusefi.hex, but when I did my tutorial 6mths ago the bundles(snapshot_20181013_1510_rusefi & snapshot_20180929_2303_rusefi) didn't have a rusefi.hex, so I used rusefi_release.hex. It seams to work with both so I don't really know if there is a difference, but i...

I'm no KC expert, and it's been so long since I watched the new feature vids I've forgotten, but Highlight Net with live connect to the other view, Import Eagle files, Spice, push and shove, parts standardised and rigorously checked before approval. To match pro EDAs you need correct parts - how man...

He's the head of library dev, so he would know. 2 years is a long time to miss out on the extra KC5 features. I didn't like KC4 because it didn't have features of lower level EDAs, but after I watched lots of KC5 new feature vids last year I thought it was a good idea to change. I don't know KC much...

Re: KICAD

Does anyone know if KC6 will have the same library system as KC5. If the library system is going to be the same and it doesn't need another part conversion, like you have to do from KC4 to KC5, wouldn't it be ok to do the conversion now and start using the better features of KC5. KC4 was a deal brea...

Re: Frankenstein - cheaper ECU shield / official / legacy

Also the 1st post links seams a bit old, like the .zip is all 2014, would it be better to remove all those links and just have the Git link, which seams to ...

Can anything be done about the postage to Australia, it kind-of kills that market over here when you have to pay around $50 of our money just for postage.

Re: Dual Map Tables

True, if you don't mind the compromise like with transients. Most new sports cars have mode select, and the racing industry uses it, so I thought it would be quite a good idea if there is no down side. How about street tuning - some people can't afford dyno time -. Remember the old days when you did...

Re: Dual Map Tables

What would be the difference between the power tune and the economy tune? You should be able to achieve both with a single table, without sacrificing the other. Dual maps are generally for different fuels, high octane fuel tune vs lower octane fuel tune for example Dual fuels is a good reason for d...

Re: Dual Map Tables

Currently I would say that dual tables is a luxury item, as I could get away with single tables and a button offset, so don't go to too much trouble on my part. I was also thinking that a hand button is too slow, and would want a full throttle button that would automatically switch to power mode for...

Dual Map Tables

I assume you can do single IGN and INJ maps with offset, like table plus 10%, but can you do two full separate IGN/INJ maps activated with a switch. I was wondering if I can have a full economy mode - needs more advance because less fuel is less volatile - and press a switch to go to full power mode...

Mazda Rotary. I had to disguise it because people sometimes get scared if they know before hand. There is one ignition per rev per chamber on the 2 rotor engines, 13B, but they are twin plug. You can waste the leading plug because it is always in the bottom half of the chamber, but the trailing will...

Re: Ford Festiva / Protege / Miata motor (#3)

I seem to recall it was the air valve not being activated. It's some resonant valve that needs to change at a certain RPM to keep the air flowing well. That will do it every time.
