Todays update on EFI governor

I got the microprocessor to open the throttle body tonight, so a good success.

The throttle body is closed at 20% PWM, and fully open at 45%, I would rather that be 20% to 80% so I get better resolution. The PWM frequency is 1 kHz, the typical throttle body frequency is about 500 Hz, so I will try slowing that down and see if I can use more of the range of the output. It is a lot more difficult for me to solder small components than when I was in my 20s, think I will have to get one of those lighted magnifiers.

The throttle body has a built in TPS, I will have to get those wired in so it is in closed loop control.

It works a lot like the first computer controlled carburetors controlled mixture, send it a pulse stream and change the dwell.
 
Did you fab the PWM itself or is it from another application? Do you use a feedback loop incorporating O2 etc. or is it all based on throttle position?
 
Fantastic use of a MCU, Arduinio's are powerful little things, been programming with them for awhile now.
I'm working on a RPM sensor using a hall effect sensor, 5110 display and a nano.
Mind giving more details of your project ?
