NVRAM Board For VN To VS (Not Ecotec) Ver 2

Post by VL400 »

After good success with version one of the NVRAM board that went in production during 2006, I have updated the design and hope to have a new style board ready for testing soon.

The new features are....
* Selectable cylinder number via on board solder jumpers. No need to find that 4 6 or 8cyl memcal anymore.
* Knock filter direct to the NVRAM board. Can mix and match filter boards for custom apps.
* Does not require a memcal to be installed but is optional for limp home function or if you want it to select the number of cyl and control knock filtering.
* Revised memcal header pin spacing.

I will let everyone know once the prototype boards have been through testing and the production run is ready to commence.

Looks good. Any chance of putting some holes in the 4 6 or 8 cylinder solder jumpers so you can solder in pins as an option and use a physical jumper to change as required?

or a set of dip switches ? probably easy to use jumpers though

i like the idea of not needing the memcal on it ... especially considering i don't use the limp home stuff on the 202 anyways ....

Just what you need when you don't have the correct memcal handy.

Sweet :D I've still got my rev 1 board here unassembled for the Skyline (haven't had time to test the optical pickup conversion properly) but the rev 2 sounds like want I would need, since the limp home won't help me much for my application.
