Re: Frankenso injector drivers
Testing while driving did not go very well. After a short time the thermocouple lost contact with driver package, from vibration I guess, and I did not get good readings. But before that I saw temperatures get up to about 53C cruising at 4000 rpm with ambient temp at 10C on the floor of the car. (It...

Re: Frankenso injector drivers
Check out this this setup before I do too much. I have injector 1 on PD3 to Q407. I tried to apply small blob of thermal grease on the thermocouple to contact the package. (It turned out be too much and made a mess :( ) IMG_20161217_171923~2.jpg I did not set up the old laptop to do logging yet, but...

Re: Frankenso injector drivers
Oh, cool. What is the make and model of the DMM. Do you have software for it that you can use to capture the data on the PC? Tekpower TP4000ZC I got it a few years ago on amazon, and I see it's still there for $36 https://www.amazon.com/Tekpower-TP4000ZC-Interfaced-Multimeter-Computer/dp/B000OPDFLM...

The DMM has a serial output that I've never used. I'll see what I can do.

Frankenso injector drivers
Some day I'd like to get a run like that with one of those thermocouples measuring the injector driver temperature and another measuring the ambient temperature. I honestly thought it was going to need a heat sink. I was expecting the injectors to shut off when it hit the temperature limit. I wonde...

Re: Miata NA 1990, 1.6L stock #21
How about a test rig set up with discovery that turns on power and watches for serial data to confirm config is sane? It could run a few seconds then repeat and stop if the config changed. I could probably get my son set that up since he is off school for Christmas.

Yes, TS was connected. was auto-tune running? An easy explanation would be firmware writing to flash while you turn the key off so that flash memory was half-written.

Re: Miata NA 1990, 1.6L stock #21
I tried doing the Discovery mod to add the RTC battery backup. I did it on my spare board, and when desoldering R26 one of the pads lifted off the board with it. I think that broke the trace from R26/C28 to the stm32 input. I don't see connectivity from C28 to pin6 on stm32. Also, I tried setting th...

I've noticed when starting from the engine cold at about 10 C that just after cranking the AFR spikes up briefly. I have seen AFR swing up to 22 for about 3 seconds then settle down to normal.

How about a logging system for acceleration, deceleration, G-force and GPS tracking? I like it. Track focused. It doesn't make the car faster, but it might make me faster by letting me know where I screw up. Or, in my case, letting me know the few points on a track where I don't screw up. Does anyb...

Alternator is standalone.
Not sure if stock CLT wiring is twisted, it's in a sheath and in a tough place to get to on the back side of the engine.
I'll clean up the nasty looking ground I found next.
Thanks for the tips.
