Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

Grounds checked. Zero continuity from INJ/OUTPUT-GND to the CPU/SENSOR grounds. That is the request correct? Wasn't aware of the strain relief crimps. The instructions I've referenced are " Jaguar 0.6-alpha Assembly Guide " http://forum.diyefi.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=2343. Didn't see ...

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

This happened: http://fe3miata.com/GRM/images/16_0802_Jaguar-A7-IG-LEDs-on.jpg Of course those LEDs are from IG3 & IG4 because I somehow popped the lid off IG1 LED and IG2 LED went shooting across the room making a quick exit from the tweezers. Also stole IG3 resistor because IG1 vanished. Start...

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

You're exactly right- I just need to overcome my OCD and walk away to more important things. Like config files. I think the warranty is a one-use thing- so I'd like to save it until I have a running/driving car. :lol2: I think it is close enough. What are you thoughts about trying to find the OE cam...

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

I think the IGN LEDs are backwards. Per the schematics below, the anode should be on the right. The LEDs on my A7 have the cathode (note green dot) on the right (as in the photo above), and the anode on the ground plane.

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

This A7 came with SMD components installed. All the IGN LEDs are oriented the same direction. And I assume Andy saw these work before he shipped the board. ALL Injector outputs show 12v off and drop to around 7v when "firing" on the benchtest. I have verified that all the Ignitor smd LEDs ...

BenchTest fw load success: http://fe3miata.com/GRM/images/16_0802_A7-benchtest-UL-load.png Powered off the A7, removed load jumper, powered on, and ran EMSstudio. A7 loaded immediately (thanks to the Windows FTDI Serial Speed Settings post: http://forum.diyefi.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=2568&p...

Good News

Corrected jumper at JP1, applied power and have an active/flashing CEL.

Still missing the #4 injector LED on the startup. But going to load the benchtest firmware first before troubleshooting.

Agree. That'd follow the same convention as HSD/FP/LSD4 - logical for a newb.

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

Yes- D2 zener. I did bridge the outer two holes. It looks to me that the top outlined square pad is JP1, the very next round pad below is 5v and the bottom round pad is 12v. Of course your reference to the HSD/FP/LSD jumper makes sense. If the Ignitor jumper was labeled similarly: 5V/JP1/12V (like b...

Re: Building the Brains for a Budget Racer: Jaguar A7 #42

INJ1 and INJ5 LEDs were elevated from the board. INJ1 was a bitch and when I finally got it seated it wouldn't work. So I pulled it and got another functioning (tested) LED in it's place. All the INJ LEDs are tested as working. I installed the ignition jumper at JP1 and 12v that I forgot. Put both R...
