Re: analog inputs: op-amp + divider - Russian - now MCP6004

https://s3.postimg.org/uplrfdsu7/opamp1.png I'm not sure about which resistors you are using on output (if you are using any) but this might help. Currently I have a 400mV headroom on my sensors output, using a 1/2k bridge (5v->3.33v) Since the sampling is at only 1kHz I will try to increase those ...

Re: Prometheus - NEW compact ECU shield!

Haha one day us metric folks will conquer the world!

Re: Prometheus - NEW compact ECU shield!

Isn't it more around 100-150V? On coil sticks at least.
Also, can we use proper units? ;)

Maybe he can use slots to increase creapage distance. (like some power supplies)
I don't think commercial ECUs are using any fancy systems for protection other than conformal coating.

Re: Current status of working STM32 chips

Only a few are pin compatible, also the peripherals are different based on the release date. GPIO and ADC went from V1 to V3, I2C V1 was so bugged you could barely, etc. I.e the F1 uses the oldest (some bugged) peripherals but is pin compatible with the F3 which uses recent ones. F0 came after and h...

Re: Hybrid injection strategy

Ultimately it is about a more consistent fuel delivery, a 1us error on a 10ms pulse has far more effect then a 1us error on a 20ms pulse. OEM ECUs are far more complex than an aftermarket and its all aimed at extracting the most exact fuelling, aftermarket ECUs are greatly simplified, there are ver...

Programmable mixed signal IO

So I though we could talk about programmable mixed signal IO. In other words, ecu pins that can do ADC, DAC, PWM, ICU, digital input or output based on how you decide to program them. A lot of after market ECU have that on a few pins. Here's an IC that does just that: https://www.maximintegrated.com...

Re: Hybrid injection strategy

With this strategy you have longer injector pulses at low load, any jitter in timing is reduced because its a percentage of the pulse length . At higher loads its less important because economy and emissions are less of an issue. As well as the timing issue as soon as the injector opens the pressur...

Re: Hybrid injection strategy

I am a bit lost, I don't see how this would make any difference. You still need the same amount of fuel, therefore you need the same pulse width. When the pulse starts does not have anything to do with the quantity of fuel delivered. Also you'd want to avoid multiple pulses because of injector dead ...

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: let's choose an enclosure

I think it's definitely worth a try.

You can also solder the headers directly on the boards. (from the side of the board, one row on each side, but you need 1.2mm thick PCBs)

That might actually work.

Re: let's choose an enclosure

I still think pin headers would work fine as long as you share the load. If AEM still does it, it must be working fine, they've been doing this for 20+ years. This is the current design for their EMS V2: (found on a supra forum) https://s10.postimg.org/60ej4dv45/IMG_6784_zps0dmmphzg.jpg https://s10....

Re: let's choose an enclosure

Often with multilock/molex you have different part numbers for the same connector based on random things like plating so there might be 3-4 compatible references for that one.

Also in this case the pictures are from a civic and a lancer evo, not a subaru. (yellow connector)

You are already using code optimisation, else it would probably not fit in the flash.
LTO is just a better type of optimisation.
