Rozsko Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 Any news on the next firmware release? When can it be expected? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 In the next week or two at a guess. We have been in strict level 4 lockdown in NZ for the last 4 weeks so that slowed us down a bit. But it is ready and mostly tested I think.

I've been through that (just like many others), I know it is though. Glad to hear the timing though. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2016 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 hope you guys are alright in NZ. just wondering if there's a plan for a lockout setting for "wall wetting compensation" in the next release? i've been doing some experiments, it seems to help smooth out the accel fuel quite a bit, but start up is always unpredictable. it sometimes adds too much fuel and makes start up difficult or even foul the plugs. i had an old thread about this a while ago. by taking out fuel from cold start doesn't help, as the fuel added by wall wetting is unpredictable, it doesn't always add fuel.

Adamw Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I dont think there is any plan to lock it out, as part of its job is crank enrichment. It should be predictable, but I havent really used it. Whats your wall wetting comp set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats your wall wetting comp set to? only 5%. i've tried lowering crank enrichment and it doesn't change much. sometimes it starts perfectly fine, sometimes it takes a few extra cranks and barely starts with a lot of fuel. since this setting is a way to compensate accel fuel, maybe it deserves its own lock out?

Adamw Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 Its purpose is to compensate for the change in the amount of fuel stuck to the port wall and the back of the valve when the load or airflow changes, not specifically accel enrichment - although accel enrichment is to compensate for some of the same effects. Accel enrichment doesnt take care of the dry port after a fuel cut for example. The port wall is dry when you first crank it so a significant volume of the fuel you inject when cranking is lost, this is why I would assume it is appropriate to have it active during cranking - it is one of the few scenarios where you do actually have a completely dry port.

0x33 Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 You guys really need to test wallwetting internally during startup or provide a lockout for it. I gave up trying to use it as it made every car I tried it have inconsistent start up issues regardless of what I did with cold start settings. Once the engine is running it works lovely, would be great if this could happen before next release as there was a big thread on this already.

Yea this explains why hot start is more problematic. Port is already wet and it dumps more fuel. For example a quick stop at gas station or Starbucks. 9 out of 10 times it wouldn’t start properly.

dx4picco Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was confronted to the same as these guys to my small scale on a relatives car. I remember the post he mentioned. hot start are/were exactly that with WW comp on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I have done some testing with the wall wetting compensation during start up today, I think we found the cause of your problem. It appears to work correctly if the first crank prime is set to 0, but if it is set to a non-zero value there is a calculation error which can result in the first injector pulse being much longer than it should be. So there should be a fix for this in the next release. I dont think a start up lock out is needed or wanted if this error didnt occur. 0x33 and dx4picco 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect!! in this case a lockout is not needed, as long as it calculates start up fuel properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozsko Posted October 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 After upgrading PCLink and connecting to ECU, this is the error message that came: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ale4oyMCOgLThOcc9JetBYGfE4wwpw Don't think it is a big deal, still could upgrade the firmware (though the not responding message still came) and after that the error was gone.

Bethanyc Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 yeah i got it too, i just figured just new tables or data not in the ecu as yet. no issues after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That error is my bad, I removed an unused setting so when opening your older firmware with your newer PCLink there was a setting it didn't know about, we do have a method of preventing errors like this showing but it looks like I didn't use that for this one.

Rozsko Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hey Guys, Since it's been some time since the last release, thought to check back and see if you have line of sight for the next one. Thanks, Béla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Weve got a couple of fairly significant motorsport functions added in the next release and these still need more track testing before public release. May still be a month away yet. Rozsko and Julien 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 It was originally planned for this week but we found a backwards compatibility issue with old firmware so they are working on fixing that. Might still be a couple of weeks. tbase, Rozsko, Julien and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
