I have nearly 2,000 hours in Stormworks yet this is the first ECU tutorial that has actually worked/explained to me how an ECU works, you've just gotten a new susbcriber :D
After copying this engine and building it, I found a 0.0001 integral component really helped with this system's idle capacity under load (esp. gearing up). Set it up under a flappy paddle system and it transfers between gears very smoothly and idles happily on all gears. The main thing is you need to rev a little to switch into first, which I think is normal.
Love the way you explain things! Wish this video existed when I first tackled modular engines months ago, would've been so helpful. By the way love seeing how different approaches to logic ultimately lead to similar outcomes, like running the air and fuel ratio and the anti stalling logic, I used different methods but they still worked, that's some credit to the game
thanks almost easy to pick up on. i dident want to use the W and S for throttle so instead of making seat a composite i made it a number and labeled it throttle and with some playing around with it and changing gears its working well now and dosent seem like ima blow up my engine at start up lol. only added that aspect of your microcontroller (having modular engines idle at low rps and go up when u want it to) i like pressing the buttons for things lmao
Overall great tutorial, some minor mistakes (didnt connect radiator to battery) But doing a one hour tutorial, with one long take is a task in itself, eagerly waiting for the stochiometry lesson!
Hi, this is decent tutorial. Flywheel boosts engine power by reducing losses caused by mechanical parts such as gearbox, clutch, propeller...etc. Also coolant water tank is required for cooling very small engines; single cylinders definitely need it, not sure about 2 cylinders.
I did not see how to engage the load to the engine, so I connected the Composite Read to the clutch for when I press "W" which engages the load (propeller in my case). I probably just missed it, but went back through a few times and could not find where you connected the clutch. Thanks for the video, it really helped.
how u move tho when config the microcontroller? cuz i cant move from place to place, i’ve been doing it like moving the node and composite stuff instead of my cam position. what do i do wrong and what i did not know?
ok so me and my 2 firends now have a 4 cyll rig and we still have absolutely no clue what the pvalue in the uper pid does. some how tweaking it can make engine take rps more aggresively but we really dont understand how
Thank you, this is an excellent guide. I followed step by step, and success. However when i tried to add in you auto clutch. I had an issue. My rps oscillates i havent hooked up the gear neutral position. i replaced the constant number That was set to 5 with a p value, but it oscillates all but when it set to 18, correction it still oscillates with 18 but not much. I get that now the car only moves when the rps reaches 18. not sure what im doing wrong. The rps does not go higher than 5rps when the constant number is set to 5. i think this is got something to do with it. lol
you are the only one that has actually helped me in this game but what is the link to the micro controller, i got it to work but when i press page up and w it doesnt increase rps
você poderia ensinar como configurar o ECU para usar variados tipos de turbocompressores com base no volume de ar e combustível?...eu estou há anos tentando fazer por conta própria, eu não quero usar algo pronto, eu quero aprender, e você sabe bastante sobre o jogo então achei que poderia ter a solução
The tutorial helped me with my semi truck but the noob in me is wonder how in the world can you move around like that in the micro controller because I can only zoom in and out on 1 spot
@@CaptainCockerels i used ur guide to make my modular ecu, using the PID was a great idea I learnt a lot and the copy paste for the AFR calculations was super helpful
ughh. im guessing this is, alongside every other tutorial, is out dated. ive followed each step to the letter. down to the squares in between the logic nodes and have never had one mange to kick into life. ive tired about 6 tutorials.

That was a really good breakdown for a basic engine. I really hope you do one on Stoichemotery. I can't wrap my head around how to use it properly.
It’s because it doesn’t work like an actual diesel. Set it to around .45 or so for power
There is another video, but it isn't really broken down, there's just a copy-pastable function in it that you can use for stoich
Modular engines were alwasy hard for me but now it feels so easy thanks to this vid!
Im following this guide along step by step. This is much better than the offical stuff in the main menu. Thanks a lot Captain.

You sir are a Legend, I always enjoy for tutorials and career builds 👍

you want keep 0.2 for efficiency, so around 13.7 to 14.0 afr as temperature rises from 20°C to 100°C
Fixed, Thx

Finally a player who turns his engine on with 6 and not 1!
key button
@@Quantum-Bullet thats a different story
@@danielk9906 I usually have 1 as wheel brake that is synced with a button for it
Usually I do it with a key or panel. For examples I usually use the seat.
@@Quantum-Bullet I’m the key button guy as well. Occasionally small builds need a hotkey. I don’t have a standard when it comes to hotkeys.

Fucking thank you, BEAUtiful tutorial. like couldn't have found a better one, got a viewer my friend
Thanks cap!
Just of curiosity, if an engine is built using this microcontroller for a boat application has there been any erratic RPS related issues while idling?
Not that I know of
how u move tho when config the microcontroller? cuz i cant move from place to place, i’ve been doing it like moving the node and composite stuff instead of my cam position. what do i do wrong and what i did not know?
I assume you mean how to move your camera. In the workbench check the camera options.
ok so me and my 2 firends now have a 4 cyll rig and we still have absolutely no clue what the pvalue in the uper pid does. some how tweaking it can make engine take rps more aggresively but we really dont understand how

Post you workshop link to the help channel on discord. Either I or someone can help when we have time. discord.gg/wzKn6JXJmN
you are the only one that has actually helped me in this game but what is the link to the micro controller, i got it to work but when i press page up and w it doesnt increase rps
nevermind i saw the link

how to engage clutch? im finished but unsure how to put load on motor
Watch the next video in the series. th-cam.com/video/qLqmzCOaeKY/w-d-xo.html
The tutorial helped me with my semi truck but the noob in me is wonder how in the world can you move around like that in the micro controller because I can only zoom in and out on 1 spot
Check your camera settings on the right panel.
I finally got it now also you really helped save my truck and I am recommending this video to other people for ecu help
if u have starter on auto it might cause a battery chug if theres an issue while ur rescuing etc
I have never had an issue with it. I also usually have a separate backup battery
@@CaptainCockerels i used ur guide to make my modular ecu, using the PID was a great idea I learnt a lot and the copy paste for the AFR calculations was super helpful
id like to start my engine from th eneing room. not from the helm. how do i do that?
Put a panel in the engine room and connect the composite.
@@CaptainCockerels thank. I had a brainfart there. Why didnt i just do that
I followed this and it didnt work - the starters wouldnt even start
Post a link to your build and I'll look
You have the clamp connected to the less than. It should be the RPS
53:20 🤣
needs a crankshaft there^^
@QuantumBullet | Stormworks good catch. I'll fix the workshop, upload. Usually I would have cut and pasted it. Brain fart.
