Re: Knock sensing ideas and circuit designs

OK. I confess But I think the knock sensor IC's could be the way togo as they seem pretty sorted for the application. As for DIY'ers getting them they can be obtained for free as samples from TI I believe (or maybe intersil). I interfaced to one of these for my uni project but have not had it runnin...

Re: Customisable interface

wxglade is also an option. I agree that a parsable solution seems better for that. I have no idea how to achieve a parsable solution though. Fred. I already have a parsing solution that may be appropriate, however the parsing of the files is written in a C dll which is not my interlectual property ...

Re: Customisable interface

To implement this, I will create some wrapper functions for handling the interface layout. If I put these in a well documented file seperate from other code, it should be easy for someone to get the general idea of python and how the layout is defined, and modify as desired... No recompile would be...

Re: Knock sensing ideas and circuit designs

Well im a Test Engineer at the company that supplies the Formula 1 grid with all its ECU's. I would rather not put the name in case someone googles it and ends up here........ Anyway I develop python to control the test equipment for production test. I had a look at your development of the Free EMS ...

Have you concidered the TPIC 8101 or HIP 9011 for Knock?

Hi, Havent been on here for a while but came back and see you didnt like the idea of using the TPIC 8101 or HIP 9011 (same IC) for doing the knock sensing? What is the issue with windowing? Because if you are controlling ignition then you know when to look for knock and you can determine which cylin...

Re: PCB layout - DaveBMW

How about fiting two TPIC8101 or HIP9011 knock sensor ICs on the board?
