With quite a few pauses, I have been working on an idea to redesign the original Arduistim firmware/hardware and add an easy to use user interface. Actually, these pauses were/are/ so long, that noisymime has alredy accomplished some of my initial goals. In a great way, I must add.

Wondering if this project can still be of any use to the Speeduino community, I decided to present my work.

User interface:

• Written in Qt C++ /QML. Cross compiled for Linux, Windows and Android. In theory, MacOS should be supported, too.

• Communication via USB (UART) and Bluetooth.

• All test inputs and outputs can be dynamically configured.

• Graphical representation of the available trigger patterns.

TODOs:

• Recording of test sequences and ability to replay them.

• Importing/exporting of test IO configurations.

Demo


Hardware:

• Bluetooth communication using HC-06 module.

TODOs:
The Ecustim board, will be based on the Arduino Mega and should provide (as seen from its side):

• Variable outputs simulation of automotive sensors such as CLT, MAP, IAT, etc. Based on I2C digital potentiometers. If needed, combined with multiplexers such as TCA9548A.

• Switchable outputs simulation of triggers such as launch control.

• Switchable inputs for displaying events such as firing.

Firmware:
TODOs:

• The core feature of Ardustim, its trigger patterns generation will probably be left as is. I think, it has already proven itself.

• A robust binary protocol with small payload should be desingned.

Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
