Hi all

Please keep all discussions related to freeSim hardware in this thread.

Current contribution phase: Collecting ideas and feedbacks on the initial requirements/design document.

Thank you
Alex

Digital pots:A local friend of mine (big thanks Mark) had suggested using cheap digital pots (something like these) for non-time/resolution-critical analog outputs like temperature.
THAT is a damn good idea, and should be pillaged for FreeEMS use ;-)

Wrong thread for feedback buddy :x :lol:
please delete the last two posts (and move your feedback) here

What's that Alex? You don't want me to post in your feedback thread? :-p
ME wrote:DACs would be nice

accurate signals such that noise can be overlaid

patterned sweeping of rpm at various rates of change etc

such that you can run a full all conditions test suite
There ya go :-P

i am actually seriously considering making one of those open arch FPGA based oscilloscopes/analyzers and integrate it with freeSim.

later on (if i get bored ;) ) i can perhaps experiment with the FPGA for doing Ion Sensing and PPP estimation.
Anyone wants to build me a 400 VDC circuit for my car? I don't have analog electronics knowledge to design this myself.
