Title: What it's all about
Post by: Bradshaw106 on September 03, 2016, 05:12:34 PM
im considering doing this swap on my ve powered 2ndgen.  I'm very interested in how the code works.   I have experience coding the arduino, but it has been about a year!! So I'm dusting the cobwebs off.   Figured I would just say hi and let you know I'm going to be trolling around a bit ;)

Drove a 1st gen for many years, but need the quad cab because of kids.   So I bought a gasser and dropped a motor in

Welcome!
I don't have much experience with the VE pumps (dad has a '92)

The 'official' Lilbb code is pretty plug and play and doesn't require a whole lot of sensors...

Me being me, I wanted to be able to say "I did it myself" and wrote my own from the ground up and have honestly not looked at the official code in a year or so.. Mine does what I need and I'm really happy with it (still tuning though, as always)... I run a pretty complete set of sensors (4 thermocouples(optional), boost(required) and exhaust pressure (recommended), TPS(required), turbine(recommended) and engine (required) RPM)... I'm somewhere around 1000 lines of code, and I run the Mega 2560 because of memory and IO's (yes, I'm using most of them)
