Re: Scaling help

Thanks. I figured it would come down to taking my own measurements, I'll have a look at thermocouples today and get setup to do this one evening.

I've also emailed Chris to see if he can shed any light, but again qualified the email by suggesting that I'm happy to take readings myself.

Scaling help

Hi, I have a couple of these sensors for fluid temp: https://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=125 I also have one of these for air temp: https://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=181 I think I understand the calculation to get valid data for my ECU Vout=(R1/R1+R2)*Vin R1 = Sensor Resist...

Re: 12v Speed Sensor

Looks like it would just be a case of fitting discs from a later model car that came with ABS, should be fairly straight forward then. Certainly more so than I had initially imagined, hence the reasons for looking at other simpler solutions. One of the reasons I'm asking this now, is that I'm just f...

Re: 12v Speed Sensor

My issue with fitting a sensor to the wheel is I have no ABS rings, I figured that was a bit of a show stopper?

Re: 12v Speed Sensor

Thanks. Yes I understand to make the most of the S80, I'd have sensors on each wheel but for now at least, driven wheel speed will suffice. I think this will give me that, if only to give me that data via CAN to display on my dash. So, the next question is wiring related.. Brown : +VE supply Blue : ...

12v Speed Sensor

https://www.sailesmarketing.com/shop/transducers/61h-transducer/ Anyone got experience with one of these? Is it possible to get it to work with my S80 ECU? I'm imaging so, but given that it's 12v and not 5v I'm a little confused as to which input I should be using on the ECU, if any? One more thing,...

Mounting Brackets (Yes, more..)

Here's my take. https://i.imgur.com/XJTCulzl.jpg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202501647476 You may also download them (for free) and print them yourself: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3191519 I'm also interested in working with people to produce other prototype or funtional parts, let me know if I...

This is now available on Thingiverse, if you don't have access to a 3d printer but would like some brackets, drop me a message and I'll be able to help.

Re: Accelerometer sensors?

My sensor finally arrived in the post this morning.

I'll hopefully have some time to play around with this in the coming days. We've just welcomed twin boys into the world, so progress might be a little steady.
