Hello I'm new here, I've been bumbling around here for a week or so deciding which Speedy I was going to buy, I've got an OK understanding of how to make an ECU run an engine, my last project was built around a Microsquirt and ran flawlessly for 7 years until I fried it. I've read Old Greys Beginners guide viewtopic.php?t=221 it's an excellent primer on how to get started, but the leap from there to a first start is huge.
I've been a member of this forum for 2 days and already embarrassed my by self asking a question (admittedly not on a vital to first start point) when the answer was a couple of pages/clicks away, because I was overwhelmed by the volume of data in front of me and couldn't see the wood for the trees, I've also seen a number of posts where people have issues because of incorrect set up or settings.
I've spent several hours determined to figure out the settings I need to get a VW 106B coil pack to work on my NO2C, does its firing pulse need to go high or low, with or without a pull-up or pull-down resistor, do I need to change the resistors on the board or add more in circuit, I have read all of the above, and now I'm more confused than when I started.
Unless there is already one, and I've missed the sign post to it, could we make a Wiki Catalogue of vehicle parts that are known to work, in their I/O groups with data specific to each subtype, and a Table of data points.
Here's how it looks in my head. The ignition section, for example, would have subsections for COP, ignition drivers and dumb coils, smart coils and distributors. Each subsection would start with info and links relating to that section followed by a table of; OEM, Part Number, connector type, pin outs, voltages, current draw, Hi/Low trigger, dwell data and importantly notes.
Take the idea of this across all the I/O's, and we will have, known working building blocks for making a Speeduino work successfully first time, which will make it more accessible, and more popular.
It could be updated with a form, which would be easy for one person to fill in and another to verify, so you don't have just anyone adding random data to it and ruining it.
I hope this is taken in the spirit of improvement it is left in, this is a great community with a wealth of knowledge is just rather overwhelming and trying to find the correct data in amongst all the posts and info isn't as easy as it could be.
