Download and Double check your h[2] entries in the tables.txt file

If they dont look like 30 20 10 00 00 00 00 00 edit them save the file, recompile and upload.

Remember that the h[2] table traverses from the last entry to the first so looking at the above line, it traverses from right to left

Wait, lol i made a mistake in my last post, i have now edited it and it is now correct

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:10:14 AM

Hrmmmm well i put the timing light on the wire and I get a light pulse every so often.

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:11:15 AM

My table entry looks like 10 20 30 00 00 00 00 00

It would apear you have configured the firing order as 3,2,1.

Remember it runs backwards through the h[2] table entries.

Is this spark something you have not had yet? Do you think we are getting somehwere?

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:16:56 AM

Alright I'll reconfigure the table and no this would be a first. The car hasnt run under VEMS power yet

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:22:18 AM

Alright new entrys in. Still no beans. I am getting an intermitant spark out of #2 though, so we are getting somewhere.

Sprocket · October 28, 2007, 12:24:34 AM

Im afraid i am now at my limit of knowledge now on bith the VEMS and the engine, lol, but i hope it has been of some use ::)

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:25:42 AM

Yes you have. The only one i see getting a signal is Coil #2 I get a spark every second or so, but i does seem to be consistent.

Sprocket · October 28, 2007, 12:33:24 AM

you deffo have IGBTs installed onbord at EC36 pins 34 and 35

i have only the two IGBTs installed at 34 and 36, these are the two red locations in the middle row shown in the picture below

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:40:02 AM

Back of my board:

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:45:07 AM

I turned the coil dwell time down to 2 and i appear to be getting a lot more consistant spark out of #2 but #2 is all i'm getting spark out of

Sprocket · October 28, 2007, 12:47:58 AM

It looks like you have installed IGTBs to pins 36 35 and 33

Is this correct?

bcool · October 28, 2007, 12:53:54 AM

Haha, yes you would be correct. I even had it marked out on the board right i think in the back of my mind is saw 03 and though coil #3

Fixing now...
