GTS1000 on MicroSquirt running MSExtra
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 2:02 pm
I am in the process of fitting a MicroSquirt to a Yamaha GTS1000. This is a four cylinder 1002cc 20V engine similar to the FZR1000, and YZF1000 (Thunderace).
This was a longer post, but it got deleted by the faulty keypad on the MacBook.
I learnt a nice trick today..I had a problem with cranking, as in none happening in TunersStudioMS, and in my desperation to find out what was happening, I ran the bike of the existing ECU at idle and piggybacked the MicroSquirt using a temporary loom to this.
I bootloaded Monitor 2.4xx into the MicroSquirt opened TachRef.exe, whilst previously used sewing pins to puncture the ECU wiring and pick up the VR crank and cam sensors. Based on the grid plot of the cam and cranks I could estimate the position of the cam/crank sync, as in delay teeth and offset value, unfortunately there was no save dialog or any screen capture software on my laptop.
Anyway, I ended up with a comms problem, I couldn't boot the 2.889 code into the Microsquirt and had to call it a day!
PS Any Mac/Unix geeks out there, I modded TunerStudioMS today to see my USB-Serial device, but I couldn't get it to see the modded TunerStudio controller files. /dev/tty.xxxx is "Port in Use" etc
