When I've started this two years ago I did not realize that making an ECU from scratch would take so long. At this point I am just enjoying this as a hobby, hopefully I will run this ECU at a Lemons (amateur endurance road racing) race in 2015 or 2016. We'll seeGnuserup wrote:interesting, what are your plans ?
Probably shouldn't listen to anything your penis says, that guy's a dick.
Too much time spent here is a sign of a bad case of Ownaneonvirus.Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
Great link but they do not specify if 1st gen or 2nd genfixit wrote:pwm to ground.
might be easier to go with an external regulator

Are the voltages above actual measured at the field connector, or just mathematical equations?russian wrote:
I have 400Hz PWM via the hi-side TC4427 chips. I've tried 60% (~7v), 80% and 95% (~11v) PWM connected to alternator wire to no avail - the alternator does not seem to engage.
Now that I've typed this I've realized that I have a 100Ohm resistor after the TC4427 chip.

that's actual voltage measured on my control wire while it's not connected to alternator (the pieces are not connected yet since I am still trying to figure this out)occasional demons wrote:Are the voltages above actual measured at the field connector, or just mathematical equations?

I am using a mosfet right now - TC4427 - but looks like it's just too weak with it's 1.5A peak rating. What's your favorite mosfet for this application?occasional demons wrote:I wonder if you could use a mosfet to handle the current. The rusEfi control could switch the mosfet for PWM.
