The Use of the open source engine control modules in the Laboratory Research of Internal Combustion Engines

Abstract

This paper describes the use of versatile engine controller with open architecture and software, for controlling the internal combustion subaru EX17 engine that is installed on the research dynamometer bench made by Automex. MegaSquirt II controller was examined in the research, it can be connected with various transducers and controls giving possibility of tuning engine control parameters. Controller architecture is an open source, which means that experienced user can modify the regulator settings, control parameter maps and control algorithms.
