Project concepts
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:57 pm
As I can see you have very interesting idea to develop free ECU. I found this site searching info that can help me to make decision about my project. Telling the long story short, I have an idea to create all terrain expedition vehicle. Now I am on a stage of information collection. One of the problem I want to make the vehicle powered by diesel engine (presumably CR) and that would be great to have open source ECU to control the engine. May be I will not make the car but that would be interesting to participate the project to estimate difficulties with mine.
I have some questions about the project because I did not get some project concepts.
- I did not make any calculations but I expected it is possible to build ECU based on 8-bit microcontroller (for example something from Atmel mega family at 20MHz). Has anybody tried something like that for ECU?
- Your project prototype use 16-bit microcontroller MC9S12XDP512. What uC limitations do you expect for final version?
- Which types of engine could be controlled by FreeECU?
I meant these options:
- otto (carb, ignition + drive-by-wire option)
- otto (k-jetronic)
- otto (injectors)
- diesel (distributed injection)
- diesel (common rail)
- diesel (pump-injector)
- 2-stroke engines (like motorbikes)
Thank you in advance for your answers.
