Cranking test circuit. this is the simple circuit i have been using for my TA card to gather cranking logs or at least try ..... The crank sensor gets its power from the engine harness +12 Volts ( this would be dirty voltage ) one +5 volt power supply is connected the signal is pulled up using a 1k ...

Well thats good news. I have a scope and once i progress further i can take a look. Would be awesome to support somethings no one else wants to support. I'm sure i can do something to datalog the signal. The only problem with this input is its on the vanos cam.

This sensor is not supported by any after market ECU that i know of. Attached is a schematic displaying information oh how the sensor is connected to the BMW ECU. I have heard it called a proximity detector in repair manuals It has 3-wires connected and a shield pin 64 GROUND pin 43 ecu cam no other...

here are some of the first pictures of my TA card setup. I will be replacing the base TA card adapter board with a board like the sensor board. These boards can be stacked!

below is an attachment with a schematic.

Every MegaPoo build on these has 6x ignitors or uses GM coils.

Love the guide. thank you

Nice ... Sucks you have to rebuild the heads right away. At least you will get mechanically bonding time .

Joking - engine swap ! ( you have to us a non - US motor ) hehe bring on the haters

I would like to help out with the (64bit) freeEMS toolchain. Some documents to help build on any distro would be helpful or some scripts. I currently have 64bit linux installs ( ubuntu 10.04 ) and some (64bit) windows 7 installs ( can test windows builds if needed ). I have a TA card that i can test...

here is bmw information out of the bently manual for the m50 and m52b28
