I put together an E85 circuit with display.


[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl5X_WG8wKw"]Flex sensor control test - YouTube[/ame]


I have modified the coding to provide either a .5 for 0% or 4.5 for 100% ethanol content.

It's pretty simple.

This is code for 0% at .5
expectedv = ((((HZ-50.0)*0.01)*4)+0.5);

This is the code for 100% at 4.5
expectedv = ((((HZ-50.0)*0.01)*-4)+4.5);

Yeah this is a different setup and programming than ztan's.

I read through that entire thread and didn't really see anything for an integrated display. It's a long thread so maybe I missed it without realizing it or it was a non integrated solution.

Anyways, I set this one up and it's working so whatever. Of course Zeke's work on the coding of the bin for flex fuel is astounding and makes these a much more worthwhile endeavor. Hell, that's why I added the code to be able to read 100% ethanol at 4.5v...

This is cool. I'm actually developing a continuation of robot's clock replacement work.

I've fixed all of the major issues it had with display and warning states, and incorporated ztan's work for ethanol content, added mapping for a ProSport pressure sender to display oil pressure, and added a simple clock. In theory, it should work right now but I'm deployed until May.

Nice work

[Jaden]

Yeah, so I did a couple of things.

I verified everything was good and heat shrinked the arduino nano and sealed it in a case. Then I ran the harness to it and verified everything was working properly in the car.

Then I took an old plastic cd drive cover from a computer case and cut out a section for the lcd to fit.

After fitting everything I put it in and verified it all worked.

I have a plug and play harness to tie it into the ECU once I get the flex fuel bin.

I still have to figure out how I will mount the lcd plate permanently, it's just electrical taped on right now.

I've since 3d printed an exact fit display board plate that pressure fits into that coin holder.

Ok, this is a bit different than I imagined when you said you made an E85 kit. You actually made one not pieced it together. Pretty cool.

Here's a pic of what it looks like with the 3d printed display case. The filament I had used got some funky white streaking in it, but whatever, I may, if I get around to it, reprint it in carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate, that seems to turn out the best.
