Tony240ZT Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 In the middle of writing some windows software to program the thing right now. Found it hard to adjust fuel map points by typing in each figure. Also working on a peice of software to do real time graphing data logging. Will require a laptop, so if you don't have one it would be worth borrowing from a buddy because it'll make you feel like your in a modern formula one race car I've been adding things as I go, such as a couple temp sensors for comparing ambient temp, temp after compressor, temp after intercooler. I'm hoping to make things like this and an air/fuel ratio gauge like optional plug-in modules. I get so wrapped up in adding things that I don't finish the core object, but I think writing this software to make it easier to adjust the fuel map will help that along greatly. I think I'll take the idea from SDS and have a richness knob that can be used to help tune the car. Will definately be doing more work on the project this week, mostly programming. Will keep you guys posted with screen shots and possibly videos of my car running with the setup. Also, will need for you guys to test the software and make sure it runs on your computers. Here is a pic of a Basic Stamp, also considering BasicX wich is a 32bit multi tasking processor, and a plain old PIC16C782. The PIC processor is cheapest, but has a slight higher learning curve.

z-ya Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hey Tony, Wow, great job so far on this project. After looking at your web page recently, I think your on to something cool. I may have a potential Beta customer. I put an L28ET into a club member's 240Z last winter, and he is looking for more programability. He doesn't have much experience with electronics (that's why I did the wiring for him in exchange for some metal work). Let me know the details, and I'll see if he is interested.
