Re: Ublox NEO-6M GPS module
Some GPS will 'remember' the last satellites they had acquired and will start trying to re-acquire those first, in order of RSSI / signal strength (strongest to weakest), others will survey and re-acquire on every start up and can take up to 30 seconds to fix position. NEMA 0183 is a pretty standard...

Re: MAP sensor "adapter"
Sorry for the long-winded reply. It's my understanding the baro isn't used for altitude adjustments, but is used for live data which can change as air currents around your bike change, not just long term changes as you drive up a mountain or similar. I know you're busy so probably didn't look at CFI...

Re: MAP sensor "adapter"
Do you know the response time of the existing sensors? The MPX series has a certain delay I think it was 1mS. Do you know the delay of the existing sensors? You may need to add some delay or filtering to get the same signals. If the MPX has a faster response time, the extra noise might cause proble...

Re: MAP sensor "adapter"
It is possible the P1/Pb and P2/Pign sensors are non-linear hence another reason to use digital emulation as opposed to analog conversion. From the catalog of five to ten MAP sensors in FreeEMS it looks like they are all linear. Could it be something to do with the way they all work physically? I w...

Re: MAP sensor "adapter"
Might be worth noting the MPX4250A function was taken from the datasheet Freescale provides and the P1/Pb and P2/Pign sensor functions were derived from the factory service manual and test points (pressure versus volts) it provides and extrapolated to be linear functions. It is possible the P1/Pb an...

Re: MAP sensor "adapter"
I would think an early item you need to figure out is what signals they provide over a variety of pressures. Once you know those graphs, then you can figure out if you need CPU or not. You might find the MPX series of chips are good enough as they are now. I believe you are looking to do something ...

Re: Simpler analog input board
My point was that most sensors operate at 5v0 so pull-up to 5v0 and measure the voltage drop across the sensor works. If you change the voltage to 3v3, it will draw more current, and without proper calibration may not have its readings interpreted correctly. The response of the sensor may change if ...

Re: Simpler analog input board
My suggestion is to use 5v to the sensors then divide the returned signal 0.5x through an op-amp. This is the way this works already - but that's plenty of components (like 4 or five). Why not feed sensors with 3v and have only ONE component per sensor (pull-up resistor?) The sensor is just a therm...

Re: Noritake VFD displays- free samples
Think of it more like 'multiplexed' UART. Route UART TX/RX to several pairs of transistors and selectively enable pairs of transistors to send the signals to whatever device. Much like how SPI devices support 'chip enable' or 'chip select' lines. Either way that's some twisted stuff. I've made an i...

Re: Simpler analog input board
I think you can ignore the post I just made since I think I mis-interpreted your question. Can you send 3v3 to a temp sensor and read the resistance and determine the temperature? Yes, you can. But since the temp sensor is spec'd at 5v, the resistance read will be different if sent 3v3. So you will ...

Re: Simpler analog input board
My suggestion is to use 5v to the sensors then divide the returned signal 0.5x through an op-amp. You're not losing much doing so- likely less than the error of the ADC. An 8 bit ADC has 256 'values' and with a 2v5 reference and using an op-amp as I mentioned could resolve to 0.01 volts. A 12 or 16 ...

G'day Jared. ;) You're right- it's not MAF or VAFM based air metering. The 500T has 4 sensors, the 650T lacks the Pign for reasons mentioned earlier- 1) P1 = barometric, sourced near the air filter 2) P2 = boost sensor, sourced from the plenum / throttle body 3) Pb = vacuum sensor, sourced from the ...
