[Gmecm] Buick 3300 LG7 MAF Program...

Tue Nov 13 01:41:23 UTC 2012

Has anyone had any luck running a 707/708 with any other codebase?
I've attempted to run code59 in both and haven't had much luck.

It's a very seductive hardware platform, because as you say, it appears to have the full set of hardware options.

I'm a bit curious about your A1 mod... are you using the same table sizes (from a MAP axis standpoint) and just living with the resolution loss, or did you make the tables bigger for 3 Bar use? ?We ended up having to rewrite the 3d table routine a bit to get it to do really big tables.

We've been struggling with how we might extend code59 to do trans control... a boost-enabled A1 solves that problem.
I've also long harbored a desire to convert the Sy to MAF, although I was looking into a sequential 16141470.

I would require one of the two pulse accumulator channels on the 727/730/749 ECM series if it was implemented, and IIRC you have other plans for that PA channel.

>>But if you have a test bench setup (I don't at the moment) I could send it to you.? We both live in Michigan.

>>the NVRAM setup is mapped from 2000-2FFF IIRC, the SRAM in the 9396(which is what i have made all of my changes for) is mapped from 1800-1FFF. it would be great if the NVRAM could be moved around to be mapped differently, BUT i could probably impliment a small patch that would move the values i store in the 1800 range to the 2000 range to make it compatible with either a 9396 or a 7727/7730/7749 with the NVRAM mod. oddly enough, the existing A1 code does make use of some of the SRAM that it never received in certain scenarios. so those may also need to be moved as well, but it's fairly limited, i think mostly PWM EGR and some early 4T60E stuff. probably nothing you'll need.
>>?
>>i'll have to take a look to see what the missing quad driver controls, but apparently the Quad4 cars(only a single year used the 7749, i think)?and the Sy/Ty trucks got away without it, so it must not have been extremely important.
>>?
>>crank trigger, IAC, IAT, CTS?sound fine. the MAFs that i'm adding support for operate in the ~2000 to ~10000 Hz range, not sure if you're planning on using the vane meter or not, but i imagine those are variable voltage rather than variable frequency.

>>i'm planning on adding the capability to blend MAF and MAP readings together for the fuel calculations, probably with an adjustable "blender" scalar to use one more than the other, if desired.

>>>>>now, the two big hardware locations are 3FC6 and 3FF8, both of which i've noticed in A1 already, so that's good news. in the 2E hack, 3FC6 is noted as "PA2 counter", so it is a pulse accumulator. it now makes sense how all of these values are intertwined. 3FF8 is also used in 2E in basically the same manner as well. the 2E PCM(used in 94-95 3.4DOHC W-bodies is basically an underhood version of the 94-95 3100 A-Body PCM) is also a P4 unit, so all of this is checking out quite well.

>>>>>also, the AE XDF that is floating around on the internet? it's not quite accurate.... not sure where it came from, but from the couple of things i've specifically looked at, there are some changes that need made to be correct. the MAF tables were one of them. $AE is limited to 256 grams/sec (2E?is limited to 512 grams/sec due to having a MAF table scalar and offset).
