Not Telling
Hi everyone.
I have a somewhat unique project I'm working on. I have a 74 Chevy nova with a twin turbocharged 500 cubic inch gen VII big block. I pitched the fuel injection and coil- over- plug ignition for a carburetor and MSD 6AL- BTM digital ignition.
to the UN- initiated that's means I have a bunch of modern sensors on the motor that are no longer being used because their is no longer a computer to read them.
So I have been designing this project to help give me access to that valuable sensor information.
My intentions are to have the netduino collect the sensor data and send it via Bluetooth to a custom written app on my Kindle, which will be integrated into the dash (where the radio would be).
So far I have the Bluetooth hardware and part of the software sorted out. I also have the kindle app prototypes and functional when fed with false signals.
my question is this.... how would you handle the voltage differences on each different type of sensor?
I have the following analog signals: coolant temp, oil temp, trans temp, manifold pressure, oil pressure, oil level
an the following digital signals : tachometer, crank angle, final drive speed (for speedometer)
I have read about several different methods that you all have recommended for different things in previous threads, but I would like to hear your recommendations for this specific scenario. Any and all recommendations, comments, questions, insults, etc are welcome :-)
I have custom built every part on this car... from the sheet metal intake manifold to the custom twin turbo system to the mainframe connectors and the integration on the netduino/kindle as an engine monitoring system. So I am going to do my best to do this project the right way the first time.
Thanks in advance everyone :-)
oh... here's a link to the car' s build album on my Facebook page...
