upgrade 45-1 wheel?

[savagerocco]

I have read thru the instructions, but I seem to be missing something. I have modified the 36-1 to allow for a 45-1 wheel. Pretty sure I got it right.

But I am having issues getting the code to load to the cpu. I open a command prompt and withe the stim turned on, i type

wheel_converter wheels_default.jsw com3 9600

but I can't get it to talk... What am I doing wrong?

here is the 45-1 code I swapped out for the 36-1 code

//wheel1
// this is 45-1 with 2nd trigger pulse
//format of wheel pattern is
//output byte, delay factor (angular or time)

As I mentioned in my PM, you need to use this:

Code: Select all

wheel_converter wheels_default.jsw wheels_default.jsr com3 9600

where the second file is the output file containing the image of the flash memory.

Also, while this is not an issue the missing tooth is not where the comments indicates it in your pattern but at tooth 36. This can be seen by the 3 successive 00 in the tooth definition. If you really want it at tooth 45, replace the 00 for tooth 36 to a 01 and the 01 for tooth 45 by a 00.

just saw that post.... I'll look at the file I modified and see if it takes. Thanks

here is the pattern i loaded, took out the second trigger to simplify

Here is the composite log, it only has 43 teeth showing..... what did i get wrong in the code file?

[savagerocco]

found it, missing 37......

[racingmini_mtl]

Yeah, that would do it. I missed that also when I looked at it earlier.

What I usually do is that I import the data in Open office Calc (I guess Excel would also work) and separate the data in columns. I then make sure that the second column, which is the number of degrees for each tooth and gap, comes up to a total of 720. If it's not 720 then there is either something missing, added or a typo in one the values.

I wrote a tri-tach mode for the stim the other day which simulates the raw flywheel teeth, peg and cam. However, it requires a firmware change. i.e. new chip for end users.

James

[racingmini_mtl]

Which pin is used for the third output?

Jean

[jsmcortina]

PTB1 = TX. Of course it is 3V3 too and no circuit exists on the board to use it. However, with my "tri-tach" testing, I already had wires flying all over the place and was able to route that third tach into the MS3X cam input and set the threshold appropriately.

James

[savagerocco]

Yes, it works now on the stim, but I think that I have the firing order screwed up on the coils. It acts like it wants to start but bucks like wrong order. I went off what you indicated jean.. I think I am getting close though. I have another Audi motor I want to run off the factory sensors. Would go a long way to make things easier on a lot of cars... At least in the motronic world.

[racingmini_mtl]

Can you check the timing on all cylinders? If you could that would help in determining which cylinders are wrong.

Jean

[savagerocco]

I guess I could check the other cylinders, but then I would need to mark off the pulley with degrees. I think I am pretty close right now, but I think I need to get a little more timing, drop tooth one to 350 .

I know this is off topic, but maybe this could help me?
