Re: Ion Sensing ideas and circuit designs

This is a problem we'll have, because of OEM cost's due to relatively new technology and it's yet to be widespread. We will have to work from theory and notes from previous implementations.

It will inevitably be an interesting experiment, but ultimately quite rewarding :)

Re: Pin out research thread - comments

I found some interesting bits of info around chapter 22 in the datasheet regarding default levels and the addresses that require setting to disable the pull-up devices on all the ports not just A and S. Here are some highlights copied and pasted from the pdf. This will probably make little sense wit...

Re: Knock sensing ideas and circuit designs

The TPIC 8101 and HIP 9011 are an ideal solution if we can get them talking to the XDP chip. :D
I haven't really looked into it in much depth as it requires a more software biased individual. ;)

Re: DIY CPU PCB (Adapt board from scratch)

Hi, Yes I also got 4 free samples, 2 x 144Pin MC9S12XDP512MAG and 2 x 112Pin MC9S12XDP512MAL. I'm currently routing a development PCB using one of the 112 pin devices to assist in some code testing. The board I am working on to run my BMW M50 engine will eventually use a 144Pin device and the Type B...

Re: Separating the power and signal grounds on a V3 board

Find out the real root of my fault. The connection is exactly right. The reason of MS-II frozen is that : I set up. 1 squirt per cycle, 1 cylinder, and then chose Missing Tooth Trigger. The equation on the MS-II code will have problem in calculation. Ahhhh! now I understand. :) So you aren't having...

Re: Separating the power and signal grounds on a V3 board

The V Ref line is normally connected to +12V via a potential divider 50K on the top and 10K on the lower half. all i have done is use a resistor in line and a cap to smooth the fluctuations the output of which connects to the 50K of the potential divider. Are you talking about connecting the MCU pin...
