Gentlemen, I am like the 5 year old boy with a hammer. 'Everything' looks like a nail. I want to control the injectors with EMC. The current diesel technology is common rail injection using HIGH injection pressure. Bosch talks about 2200 bar. 2200 bar is almost 32,000 psi. WOW! They als

That's it. Thanks Dick. They're talking about 10K RPM which seems like it would be an EMC2 issue. A diesel would not be quite so bad but even 3K raises a bit of concern about angular resolution. Engineers and math able folk among us will no doubt fix my humble work below. 1 -- assumes 5

Hi all, In 1975 I installed a mil surplus diesel in a 3/4 T pickup. Ended up putting about 5000 hrs on that rig. Never did anything heavier than 27,000 GVW ... (with 55 hp at the flywheel) ... big grunt. Injection pumps, especially the inline ones are very reliable. If I were to fool with t

You got my attention with this! I'm a diesel likin' man myself - I have a Mercedes diesel car and an older Ford diesel pickup and a couple of diesel tractors. I've often thought of doing something like you're talking about. I'm currently using and programming PIC microcontrollers at work, and I'
