Okay so I will build a long harness and run knock sensor cables separately maybe on a shielded twisted pair
The maximum cable diameter for board holes seems to be suited for m0.75^2. what AWG are you running ?

Maybe should I build a long harness in order to place Rusefi near the glovebox. Are they consideration to take in account when designing a long harness ? Things like twisting wires

Yes there were two of them in the kit. I didn't know if they were specifically designed for that.
Will look at my footwell tomorrow to locate the ECU. Are the cables easily reachable pour a first test ?

I've tested the LCD and menu displays well. I can also navigate through it. I have finished populating the board and started the wiring of the connector. When reading documentation on the 2003 Miata, flybackdiodes are mentioned for powering VVT ans IAC due to their inductive characteristics. What di...

Thank you for the review. I tried to tidy up that solder but figured out all the pins were connected so I gave up. My phone is pretty handy to check solder joints. I've checked every joint by putting it under load and they seem okay. Maybe I will use solder wick to remove some of the excess but it n...

Thank you ! It was my first time soldering SMD so i'm pretty happy with the result. I've been pretty heavy handed with solder so it's not perfect though. I already tested the 5V (got 5.08V) and it's supplying the board fine. Discovery powers up and communicate well when powered through BAT SW. Is it...

Here are a few more pics of what I assembled so far

I understand I have to populate the page 9 jumpers for pull-up on Hall sensor input, as well as using 1K pull-up resistors and no pull-down. JP 04 and JP 05 provide the crank and cam signal to the STM32 so they sould be populated. I hope i'm not doing a mistake :roll: And for the connectors i meant ...

Here is the top side IMG_20190406_143630.jpg ;) I use the discovery so I don't know which one exactly I should populate and which one I shouldn't. I will post a picture of the board without the discovery installed soon. I think I should also start to populate the jumpers on top of the board, the cam...

Jut tested suppliying the board from 12V and STM32 boots up, with the ability to communicate to tunerstudio.
It draws about .1 Amp at 12V supply. Threfore i can't get the screen to light up or to display anything

Edit : it would probably work if I place the JP1 jumper

Hi everyone ! I'm on the early beginning of my project to install RUSEFI on my 2004 Mazda MX5 equiupped with the 1.8 VVT. IMG_20180628_174245_compressed.jpg IMG_20180517_143633_compressée.jpg I received the Frankenso board last week as well as the ECU connector and nearly (fully ?) completed the boa...

Just flashed the board and it works weel. Need to test it installed on the frankenso and make sure I've not created short circuits. Should I start a new thread on the "Your engine" section ?

I thought it would by hard but by applying flux and dragging the solder it gone so well. I also soldered the ft232 quite easily. I just don't soldered some of the components located under the discovery board. I think they are used when just the plain microcontroller is used. The jumpers I am talking...

So happy oday, got the supply to work and it works fine, outputs like 5.08V and draws almost nothing. What is the next part I should complete first. Should I follow the hardware manual order and finish the cam/crank. I will flash the STM this evening. Should the two end jumper be removed ? Thanks fo...

So with my lab bench supply I power the board progressively using current limiting through the 12V and look at the voltage on +5 and then if it is all right I connect the rest of the board to 5V?
Thanks
Gwendal

I soldered most of the resistors and I just have the capacitors, LEDs and small diodes to put on.
Is there a procedure to test each part of the board individually before powering it ?

Gwendal

I'm done for today, pretty happy with my progress, I soldered some very tricky diodes and found out it wasn't so difficult. Will continue tomorrow with the resistors and capacitors

I just found the TPIC8101 I will eventually have to go to 0805 now

So far it's going great, never soldered any SMD before but I never worked with varnished board and it makes I so easy. At least for big components, I just started by soldering some isolated components like SD card holder and as much through hole as possible. For the HIP9011 I have plenty of time and...

Just received it today, didn't thought it would look so clean. Thank you
With the resistor kit should I get everything I need to populate the board ?
Will start soldering job soon and take my time for tricky parts. I still have to get used to 0805.
I will post my progress vere.

Hi, !
Thank you for the link, it's perfect and answers my interrogations.
I would be pleased to see your harness, I'm not in a hurry as the French post tend to be quite long ...
I don't know if you are managing the rusefi store by yourself but do you have an estimation of delays for France.

Hi everyone ! The so hoped wage raise finally came and I just bought my Frankenso Kit this afternoon. I will be soldering it with the help of some of my school technicians who have acces to some very good soldering stuff I obviously can't afford. I wanted to know prior to making the adapter harness ...

Hi all ! Thank you for your replies :D I will reconsider the option of ordering the pre assembled board as soon as I will have my all my taxes paid ;) So you ordered a complete board with the 64 pin connector and made an adapter with the 72 pins boards and a Honda OBD 1 connector ? Your MAP sensor i...

Hello everyone ! I'm Gwendal from France, 20 y.o., engineering student in signal processing. I've been browsing your forum for at least 2 month now and I think I'm finally ready to throw myself in a rusEfi project. I have a 2004 Mazda MX-5 with the 1.8 VVT engine, and I've come up with the idea of p...
