Propeller is a pretty cool chip. I've actually had a devboard sitting here for about a year, and haven't gotten around to doing anything with it.

MAP to MAF conversion.

Search for my post with the mathematical curve fit, for a 99 motor. MAF voltage is a fucntion of MAP and RPM.

I was hoping to get started playing with mine this weekend, but in trying to modify my ftdi breakout board to work with both 3 and 5 volt systems, I managed to rip the super tiny 3v smt pad right off the board :vash:. Looks like I'll start next weekend :(

are you just trying to build up your post count??
having read your other posts (all on this thread) I can only imagine you're a non-miata guy and you joined this forum because of this thread. That said, please spend 5 minutes before posting questions to do basic research.

Egads, you just made me feel bad a year later for just joining these forums because of this thread. (building myself a Locost 7 using many Miata parts off of a wrecked non-turbo, a way to save a great car which served me well for many years)

But I do have an Arduino, three of them in fact (a Mega and two Uno) and am a hardware guy. I was reading this thread and got interested.

i'm mean we are talking about a small albeit minor flac that the afm

also a question for whoever had made this graph... did you swap into a full range tps? also can you get us a read out of what it looks like to be 3 k rpm 5th gear cruising down the freeway. i think that's the most important thing about our cars.

Sorry... 6 months later and I just noticed the response. No, that is the OEM 1.6 TPS. I modified the code so that it reads like a three-way switch: 0-50-100% (no throttle-partial throttle-full throttle). Do you still need data from cruising down the highway?

woot sorry for the late response myself. i decided to give up on the arduino as an ecu subject. it seems the capability of the unit itself is limited. i also don't have the knowledge to write the code for it. i guess i was just brain storming to see if it's possible. i actually was more interested in it as afm eliminator.

but however i still have no experience in coding.

Is this thread still alive?
 
I happened to stumble across this forum and post way too late in dev, I have a 91 miata I am trying to use an arduino to control or replace my ecu all together, I have roughly read all of the posts but got lost alittle here and there... so did bloodline loose all interest in using the arduino altogether

Like most unpaid complex projects, real life got in the way. My final code used the ATMega328's counter/timers to generate the spark timing, so left a lot of CPU time free for more complex stuff like interpolation between points in the timing and fuelling tables... I will have to dig the code out when I get some more free time and think more seriously about building some hardware for it :)

Reading a good bit of this thread before I realized it was ancient got me thinking. Trying to use an arduino as a full ecu seems like a bit of a stretch and we're already got good affordable solutions for that already. If there was an arduino variant with 4 high current pwm drivers and 4 vr/hall inputs it would be interesting to try to make a motorsports abs/traction control system with it. Race logic traction control's price isnt too outrageous, but a motorsports abs system is around $10k.

As Jason said, check out DIYEFI - there's something with a lot of groundwork laid, a few running cars, and all very, very open source.

Hey Nate, it's been a long time since I've seen you, not since the Amiga.org days :)

Welcome
I'm new here, I read the whole topic and do not understand the arduino inputs and outputs: (maybe someone could write about?

bloodline 01-14-2014 10:10 AM

Latest 8bit Arduino code here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mia...ataBrain_v3.1/

Will post up 32bit ARM code at some point.

Hi Guys would just like to know how many crank angle sensor pulses to cam sensor like 4 crank pulses to 1 cam pulse? i am having trouble getting my prototype board running right leds arnt flashing right and d13 is flashing thanks my version of code is the lastest 3.1 thanks

JasonC SBB 06-14-2014 11:05 AM

NA and NB motors have different cam pulse patterns.
NA are like the old Mitsu motors that have 4 crank pulses per crank revolution.
Search this forum for my posts on the VVT setup. The NB non-VVT and VVT have the same cam pattern, just that the latter moves around.

mrhrholden 06-14-2014 08:47 PM

arduino crank and cam simulator
 
thanks mate just programing another arduino as the crank angle sensor to trigger the arduino efi
thanks will have a look

Hi i have been playing around with a arduino simulating a crank and cam signals to drive this ecu and just cant seem to get the code right does anybody have a arduino code that cold help me out thanks

klax187bz 09-10-2014 02:50 PM

Hi, does anybody know what formula you can use for calculating the time injection using Arduino as an ECU?
Many thanks in advance.
