  To Alex,

  My name is Tony & me & partner build a EMS for 3rd/4th year project in =
91/92.  We had 2 uP system (1=3Dengine calcs,2=3Dfuel/ign hardware =
control).
  Had
  Manifold,Baro(Sep sensors),A/F,Air,Water,Throttle,Ext =
output(On/Off),fuel pump relay,Crank,Cam(as sequential),8 injectors + 4 =
ign.
  Had 3D ign,fuel,sequential,dwell+accel pumps,thr or pressure =
mapped,1..8 cylinders & all programmed via laptop which had lot of =
assembler as ran on old XT laptop+had 16 live parameters at better then =
10 updates per sec.  Could down/upload files & tune in real time with no =
hickups.  Data logging was inside PC.  Even had bar graph for A/F ratio =
(Which was a big thing in 1992, well I thought so)
  Removed ECU from brothers car,found connector to adapt to standard =
wiring+added extra wires for sequential+cam sensor(Car was alfa TS 2 =
valve) &  plugged in my ECU, mapped on dyno, drove in to RMIT & showed =
my lecturer who basically did not understand so was not impressed.

  Hints:
  We used a intel 196KC development board & connected our hardware to =
this.  This gave us good debugging.  Without a debugger you are wasting =
your time as will never get software working.  So as a student you =
compromise uP performance for best debugging tools.

  I SAY GO BIG OR GO HOME.  GO ALL THE WAY MAN.

  Alex, I did just what you're doing, my advice would be to keep it =
simple, forget lambda - go open loop, if using manifold pressure, forget =
throttle position. Forget "ping" sensor too, this is really involved.The =
injector timing will be in the 1-8 mS region, no real need to use Pwm =
outputs, but I suppose it could be used. As for ign, I would suggest =
using a remote module (bosch), as these take care of dwell interally.
      Start small, if you have time later, then add the goodies.

    I'm on my final year of an Engineering degree and as part of my =
course I have to do a research paper.  Engine Management Systems have =
always interested me so I'm going to try building one, only problem is I =
know very little about the input and output signals that an EMS =
requires.
    Listed below are all the inputs/outputs that I KNOW are used.  If =
anyone knows of anymore then could you please tell me and include what =
the function of the input/output is.
    INPUTS
      Water Temp: Used for cold start.
      Manifold Air Pressure: Used to measure Engine Load.
      RPM
      LAMBDA:  Measures Air/Fuel mixtures in exhaust.
      Throttle Position: Used to control boost or for Fueling =
compensations.
      Ping Sensor: Detects detonation.
      Crank Angle: Used a trigger for firing each spark plug? NOT TOO =
SURE ABOUT THIS
    OUTPUTS
      Injector Timing: PWM output? NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THIS EITHER
      Ignition: I have know Idea what this output signal is or where it =
is sent. :(
