Re: Fuel only using coil negative as tach input

Matt Cramer wrote:Kib_Norway, sounds like your proposed setup would work just fine. Wire the output to OPTOIN+ and ground OPTOIN-.
Update:

Optoin1+ to tach signal from ignition system
Optoin1- to gnd

Works excellent in my fuel only setup.

Re: datalog without PC / RS232 capture - andy ideas?

BTW - I do have a serial--> usb adapter. If I hook up just power on the USB adapter (not a computer, just power to the correct pins of the USB plug), will it generate the needed signals for MS to send the datastream?

I've been working with electronics in the past, so building simple circuits can be ...

Re: datalog without PC / RS232 capture - andy ideas?

Hi,

Yes, a palm could be an option. However, I had difficulties finding info on datalogging to palm on the ms website...

Do you have any link to where I find more info on what's possible to do with a palm?

datalog without PC / RS232 capture - andy ideas?

I want to find some way to do datalogging without a computer attached to the microsquirt (I have a bike, not so much space for a PC...)

My idea is to use some kind of cheap datalogger connected to the stereojack from microsquirt, do some driving to record data, and then afterwards connect the ...

Re: self tune?

Ok, that was valuable information. Thanks.

The AFR map I have created myself, based on this:
- 2 years of riding with carb and with a LC1 / afr gauge on the bike - gives me an idea of "what works" - even if it's most likely not "optimal" (bike was never dynoed, so I dont know if it was optimal ...

Re: self tune?

Hi,

I have been riding 150-200 km, and I now see that the VE map updates at some bins. So - it works.

However, what if the VE map at some pints are way off, so that the ego correction (50% or 80% or whatever I set it to) do not manage to the correct AFR properly?

Will the self tune lean out the ...

Re: self tune?

Hi,

Here is the msq. Let me know if it makes sense...

I have 3 possible theories:

1. For how long time should one have to drive with the self tune to flash activated before seeing any changes? I have driven approx30 mins only...

2. If the values in the VE table is to far out for the EGO ...

Re: self tune?

I have enabeled the Automatic Mixture Control (microsquirt 2.89(?)) but I cannot see any changes to my VE table.

I see when connected to PC/MT that the ego correction does a whole lot of work - however, after riding quite a long ride, and then reconnects to MT and does a "fetch" of my VE, it still ...
