Thread: Arduino Modular Engine Sensors Unit (~$50)

I'm thinking of using arduino as an air suspension controller, I have the code, it is written in BASIC, can that be programmed to an arduino board?

[edit]

i think it can run basic: http://hackaday.com/2011/08/28/basic...on-an-arduino/

Wow, that's thinking out of the box literally ! I don't know much about ecu but pwm comes naturally for arduino. I got into our via rc multi copter flying.

PWM is what existing systems need as it is the medium that the LR ECU sends to hill descent control, temp gauge on the dash, for traction control in the SLABS ECU. Use inputs from a GM PCM with its native sensors and then convert them into LR friendly PWM signals.

I've got more research to do, I just need a oscillscope with data log to record during different conditions etc.

sounds like the sort of thing plenty of people would be interested in. im sure youve read the data in rave about all this.

Hey guys,

I'm actually in talks with some guys in commercializing a similar product. I'd love to contribute to something like this.

Here's a video on what I've been working on: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I've also got it reading out Oziexplorer data

Alex

very nice screen, where do you buy that ! and i can see you've put some work into it

what temperature sensors are/have you using from where ?

and are you interfacing with the cars computers at all ? or a layer on top of that.

i take it your getting your filter km's data from oziexplorer gps ?


i subscribed to your youtube channel

i think there's alot of people that would be interested in a system like your especially the amount of detail you are putting into it.

i want to start out small and simple, with just the basics, temp/coolant level and oil. and go from there.

talk more soon once i get my board and start programming.

Very nice Alex, keep us updated on this.

Cheers - Gav

It arrived today, well... i had no idea it was this small from the ebay photo's !

Here it is next to a AA battery, this thing will fit anywhere
