The above response breaks my rule of not posting in your threads, soley because you actually asked an intelligent question. It is an exception of the rule, I don't plan on it being a normal thing so you shouldn't either :P

PWM is just a name of how to do something, it has no mathematical value.
DC is dependant on PW. You CONTROL the PW with MS. I'm just busting your balls on the rule thing, I just wish you would install your turbo kit already and stop fucking around. Once you put it on I guarantee you will regret that you took so fucking long to do it. |
The period (time for one complete on/off cycle) is typically a constant. There are exceptions, but in this case consider this rule to be true. It is sometimes specified as a frequency, and sometimes as a duration. They are interchangeable.
The duty cycle is the % of time during each period that the signal is "on" vs. "off." That's the variable. In this picture, the green trace has a duty cycle of 75%, the red trace is 50%, and the blue trace is 25%. They all have the same period. So all else being equal, modulating at the green level will effectively give you 75% of whatever the maximum available power is, and so on. http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/6059/pwmht6.gif |

Joe and I are saying the same thing, so don't get confused. He just has prettier pictures of a more real world wave.

new topic!!!
new topic:
I can't get my MS dashboard to show any lc-1 signal. I changed my grounds to the same point on the throttle body...but can't seem to find the ground from the ecm there. I did another free air calibration hooked it up, and still get nothing. I changed the configurator how according to DIY's manual. Kinda stuck here. Thanks edit: going to garage armed with multimeter. |
you may need to program the lc1's output, and make sure you're using the right analog out (there's 2). and make sure the analog out is actually hooked up to the MS, either through the correct pin on the aux connector or by splicing it in the nb wire, per the manual.
ps, thanks for creating a "build thread" instead of starting 100 new threads as your typical custom. :) |

and has anyone seen me middle connector? I put it somewhere last month where I knew I wouldn't lose it.
Should i go out there tomorro and run two wires, soldered at one ring connector? Where specifically on the TB should I put the gnd...I think a pic would help, because I can't seem to find the gnd strapping for the ecm. Anyone have a link to the pinouts for the factory ECM so I can do some multimeter work? and just for the record, I have a perfectly flat open loop idle currently...lol. |
grounds are at the back of the head by the fuel rail. pinouts are at madracki

You want ALL the ground to go to the place, but you want to seperate the ones it tells you to by like an inch so you don't get any interference. If you ground them apart like you have then you are gonna have big ground disparity problems. For example, mine are both grounded to the 2 black ground wires at the harness. They both go to the same place, but I have them seperated by just putting them on the 2 different wires.

shouldn't the o2 read full lean after doing a free air calibration, outside the exhaust? MS says its at 21.99 when the range should only go up to 19.99. "front bank o2 voltage is 3.04. Me thinks I didn't configure something properly in ms.
|
how will I know if its working correctly? I broke the rules and ran both leads to the same lug...so I expect a bad reading...but at least its reading something at this point.
|
You wont get a bad reading running it to the same lug. I had the same problems you described and called inovate about them. They told me to put the heater and system on the same lug,connect a MS ground to that lug as well.
Also, put the terminator into the IN plug on the LC1 for good measure. |

how is your configurator setup? 10-20:1 or default? during freeair, it should show 20% O2 (in logworks), which it should not be ouputting any signal to MS at that point. |

noise or shitty tuning?
