Good Day All.
Can anyone please tell me if I can use my PicAxe 18x or any other PicAxe chip as a Waveform Generator.
Let me try and explain what it is I would like to try and do.
I do alot of work with Engine Management ECU's, And I need some way of feeding a Crank and or Cam sensor signal into the ECU's.
Most cars that I have worked on to date, seem happy to have a Square or Triangle waveform signal feed into them to work.
If possible I would like to be able to change waveform from, Square, Triangle, Sine or Sawtooth, at a push of a button.
I also know that there are loads of trigger pattens out there.
But there is only three types that I use with my type of Engine Management, witch are
Ford (36-1), 36 Teeth minus one, 10 Deg per tooth. < Click Link For Picture.
Bosch (60-2) 60 Teeth minus two. 6 Deg per tooth. < Click Link For Picture.
Rover (36-1-1).
So can anyone please tell me if this is possible, and if so how hard it will be, and what would be the best way about doing it.
Thanks for your time.
