Thanks for your interest! I didn't want to be dependent on the number of hardware timer captures, so I did actually start with a system like you describe, with a single timer/compare and managing a linked list of…
I appreciate that FPGAs are certainly one way of doing this, and your point are valid, but I respectfully disagree that it is an overall better approach. FPGAs are more expensive than these microcontrollers, are a…
Fair enough. Having an FPGA can certainly make various aspects easier (especially for supporting higher precision outputs), but shouldn't be necessary for basic engine running. As I understand it, most of the difficulty…
It may still be open source, but it is not free software anymore, at least for MS3 software and hardware.
I'm not aware of any aftermarket EMS's using FPGAs, and there are quite a lot of them. The engine position sensing isn't something that requires a lot of specialized hardware: The sensors are usually one or two…
