CSC Pi-Innovo OpenECU

The purpose of this project is to develop and implement connectivity between sensor inputs and a control system using a Pi Innovo OpenECU for future use controlling a two-stroke snowmobile engine. The goal for the summer team is to evaluate functionality of the engine control unit (ECU) using a simulated engine.

=Problem Definition= The University of Idaho Clean Snowmobile Challenge team (UICSC) is in need of a more advanced engine control platform to compete with other teams at competition, as well as the need to support auxiliary components directly in the ECU (such as an experimental exhaust baffle for variable backpressure, or catalytic converter light-off control).

Deliverables
Summer 2020  Complete base control systems  Ability to control spark timing, fuel injection timing and quantity, ratio of fuel injected by injectors in series, stratified vs homogeneous injection based on engine speed and throttle position (n-alpha)

Ability to manipulate compensation maps for measurements such as piston head temperature, ambient pressure, ethanol percentage, etc.

Ability to drive E-TEC injectors  Complete base wiring  An organized, plug-and-play wiring harness that reaches functional parity with the wiring system for a Rotax 850cc two-stroke engine
