I realise I'm probably asking how long is a piece of string, but do you have a feel for what, and how long it would take to get this puppy running well enough to fire 12 injectors and 12 coils with the usual complement of input sensors like TPS, CLT, WBO2, AIT, etc.? For my purposes, at least initially, I don't need any other I/O. However, that CAN to OBD2 signal conversion is interesting...... Link do that also.
As I understand it the basic code is all there and it just needs to be setup. Setting up a sensor to read and convert to the voltage to say temperature is probably 15-30 minutes work, that's easy. The time will be spent figuring out the best way to convert the sensor data into an injector pulse time that correct properly for everything that matters. going from 1 working injector to 12 working injectors is probably 30-60 minutes as it's just cut and paste work. If the software is what it claims to be, 1 week full time or 1 month at the place I have time for seems right before the setup is ready for live testing.
Part of the power of this setup is the simulator. I think the plan should be set this up first and start generating signals for all the primary inputs. These get market as "plant" signals so they stay on the PC and don't end up in the ECU. Once there are signals to read......we start reading them and converting to useful stuff. This is basically the same way I setup the o5e system, in the tuner you select test mode and all the signals are faked so you can test the output of any combination of inputs and compare to what you were expecting to see.
I just need Jim to set me up with the software now so I can get rolling....I really think getting used to the software is going to be the biggest hurdle.
