1. Automotive Engine Controller with PC User Interface Jason Dougherty

2. Overview: Full scope of project Embedded controller runs engine: fuel injection and ignition based on engine sensor data. PC allows user to tune the control algorithms + collect and display data from the engine sensors and actuators.

3. Overview: This quarter Measure engine speed and position on a test bench Stream RPM data to PC Simulate fuel injector firing Receive and display single-channel data in real-time on PC Save data to file Simple graphical calibration interface

4. Components: Embedded control Motorola MPC555 development board Toothed-wheel crank position encoder Hall-effect sensor CodeWarrior IDE

5. Components: PC interface PC with USB support USB to CAN adapter module Visual Basic

6. Unique Features Graphical display of calibration parameters with drag-and-drop or textual editing High-speed data acquisition with real-time graphical display Accurate control algorithms based on engine behavior model

7. Challenges Programming for USB Visual Basic Real-time display with VB Programming for CAN Signal conditioning for Hall-effect sensor? Programming TPU on MPC555
