Ardu_ECU- Arduino based ECU for model Jet Engines

Easy to build and use Engine Control Unit (ECU) for model Jet engines :

  • Based on Arduino code and running on ESP32 based hardware
  • ECU configuration using a simpe web browser
  • Engine operating parameters displayed using a web browser interface
  • Use off the shelf components for electronics e.g. Brushed or brushless Speed controller for starter motor and fuel pump control MOSFET module for gas valve solenoid control Glow plug driver module for providing power to glow plug.

About the Project

  • Initial testing done on J66 model jet engine only
  • Currently uses only two parameters from engine 1- Exhaust Gas Temperature and 2- Engine RPM
  • EGT is measured using a K-type Thermocouple
  • Engine RPM is measured using a magnet in spinner nut and a hall sensor to detect engine RPM

Project Status

Although based on Arduino framework, current Arduino code uses some libraries which are specific to ESP32 and will not readily compile for other platforms.

Getting the Source

Still in progress. A working version will be shared soon

Installation

Upload to ESP32 Devkit V1 using Arduino IDE

Usage

Each release will refer to hardware and software configuration for usage. Current code is compiled on Arduino 1.8.19 and is running on ESP32 Devkit V1. The electronic schemetic is included in repository

Release Process

Release will require testing on an actual engine. Test conditions and results are to be shared with the release version

Versioning

We are using whole number versioning. We will not do a major or minor release Current Release is Rev 7
