Bro, i was so put off by this that i was like wtf is an ecu¿ I’m a whole mechanic. U just don’t expect an arduino to be an ecu. What even funny is I thought about doing this once and still didn’t make the connection. Very cool
Nice vids! FYI the Arduinos on the WTMtronics site have the Atmel based 16u2 serial chip. The pic is old, you can't even buy those particular units from robotdyn anymore, and it was not a CH340, but another vendor's IC.
I was really close to buying a speeduino but I actually found a guy talking about rusefi and ended up buying a uaEFI board. I wish I could have gotten a dropbear to try out as well.
I saw Speeduino supports CanBus, and I would like having the option of reading RPM and oil and coolant temp over OBD2. Do you know something about that?
@aftereartharcade is it a new frontier or is everyone being secretive someone announced on hp tuners forum they had a breakthrough last year stand by for updates I text the guys company the day before Halloween they replied keep checking up on social media
Well I can't say how good it is vs other ecus, but you will have options on how you want to run the K24. Depending on how you want to set up the spark and what kind of injectors you are running. This U4AC has 4 channels for spark so you can run each cylinder, but for 6+ you need to set up the spark in pairs. wiki.speeduino.com/en/wiring/Injector_wiring. The big thing here imo is you can us MAP to get your fuel tables and thus adjust for boost levels. A speeduino does the same thing as a megasqurit or something but for less. As for the BMW canbus thing. I'm not exactly sure. From my understanding canbus is a protocol bmw seams to have some of its own other protocols too. medium.com/@chairface/talking-to-your-bmw-tapping-into-a-cars-communication-bus-4adff7ac640d It doesnt seam like the canbus is fully implemented for broadcasting functions for the speeduino yet. So ide image you would need to do some custom things if you are trying to control things over can with this ecu, or if i was you i would join the forums and ask there.
@@aftereartharcade that wiki link was helpful, it looks like speeduino can work with the analog bmw's before 1999 when they went to canbus system. Thanks bud!
Thanks for the feedback. I love euro beat so it was surprising to me so many people didn't like the music. I get it though to each there own. Being fun and informative is my goal so im sad my style prevented you from learning. To break it down in text. I got my components from wtmtronics. You will need a speeduino, and Arduino with a 16u interface, a if you dont get a U4C speeduino you need a stepper driver for the tps, and if you dont have HAL crank and cam signals youll have VR ones so you need a 2 channel VR conditioner. speeduino.com/home/ wtmtronics.com/ This is the relivent info in the vidoe.
that music was horrible and speed thru the end. I would have like to see a walk through of the board and items not just an unbox and "here it is" video. would have like to see it put together, and running an engine and how to set it up.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm creating this series to do just that. This was the second video of what parts you will need, and the parts i got to give people and understanding of what they will need to get started. In the next video we will assemble the ECU. The goal will be to go over each component, and how to wire it. We will be running a v6 vg30det, from a Z31. This is a long form project and doing it in small chuks makes it more manageable for me. I understand that waiting and short, component baised maybe not what you are looking for, but once the series is completed I feel it will be easier to watch in chucks and people can skip to the part of the process they want to see. My biggest goal here is to just get the word out more about the Speeduino. Again your feedback is much appreciated. Maybe my future videos will be more what you are after.
Long live Eurobeat :D
at least you get it! 👊😁 and the music you use is always so good! just say'n lol
@@aftereartharcade 😊🙇♀️ thanks alot.
I have to say, interrupting yourself with music to freeze frame and circle something is really funny. Please keep doing it!
Thanks for the speeduino series! Please keep it going! This is the format I need.... breaking it into chunks.
You got it Fred! Thank you for the encouragement! I've been dealing with some personal issues, but we are working on the next few videos still :D

Microsquirt’s been doing it this way for years.
Here are the Hardware Requirements. It details the 16u2 and the VR crank/cam wiki.speeduino.com/en/Hardware_requirements
Updated manual says both are fine btw, but the requirements still say as of this its better to us 16u2. just FYI speeduino.com/Speeduino_manual.pdf

Thanks for the info! :D
The one i bought from WTMtronics was a CH340 but that was late last year.

wiki.speeduino.com/en/CanBus_Support2
Yes it looks like you can.
More videos with Speeduino on TH-cam. Very nice :P
Is there 2stroke support
i think so speeduino.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5602
but it seams like its a bit tricky
@aftereartharcade is it a new frontier or is everyone being secretive someone announced on hp tuners forum they had a breakthrough last year stand by for updates I text the guys company the day before Halloween they replied keep checking up on social media
how good is this opensource ecu, can it run say a honda k24 in a bmw canbus? love the eurobeat!

I like your videos vibes
Thank you!! Appreciate the support 👊
Very cool, I'd like to do this with my s13 sr20❤
is it a 180sx? love the hatch s chassis! You got this dood :D
Excellent
does it fit my honda
Yes! The U4 can run up to 8 cylinders. They also make a plug and play called a dropbear. speeduino.com/shop/home/38-speeduino-dropbear.html
Now i need a car to play with :D
do you need a editor ?
that would be awesome... but im still trying to get better on my own. eventually i would like to be able to have an editor!
thank youu
I think we are the same brand of ADHD hahaha.
Glad to find someone who can relate :p
I wanted to watch and learn from this but the disco and glitching was too much to bear. Sorry.
