Title: Hi from Belgium! Post by: Buddhasteph on June 22, 2013, 02:31:09 AM Hello everyone,
I am a electronics and automotive mechanics enthusiast, and I would like to go deeper in the connection between these two worlds! After that my Alfa 147 Selespeed engine broke up, I decided to completely disassemble it, replace some parts and carefully reassemble it. My engine runs well for 20.000km ;) this was an opportunity to clearly see where electronics acts but not why. I also had to play with the ECU (motronic ME 7.3.4) to clear some OBD fault, to setup the sequential gearbox,... through a elm327 chip and thanks to the software Fiatecuscan. I only know the minimum about the role of the ECU... On the other side, I am doing a PhD in automotive combustion and I have learned a lot about digital electronics during my electromechanical engineer student years: basic board design and assembly, Microcontrollers programming, FPGA, real time OS,... I would like to know much more about the ECU and be able to use my electronics skill with automotive electroincs! So I am happy to join your community! Steph |
