Electric Turbo Camaro Project - Part 2: Electronic Control System Overview

- In Part 2 of the electric turbo camaro project I go over the electronic control system that monitors the car and activates boost. You'll get an overview of the graphical interface as well as a peak into the guts of the box to see how I built it, for those interested in electronics and Arduino stuff. This is the brains half of the project, without which the supercharger is nothing more than a paperweight so it's critical that it work properly to free up the driver to drive the car!

As a pioneer in the Electric Supercharger industry, the future is brighter by the day. Beer can size motors producing 20hp @75k rpm, battery and ultracap capabilities, rapid charging, and integration with logic controls is now a reality and way beyond my wildest dreams back in the 1970's.
Thomas Knight here., just giving kudos to Chris for his detailed installation. Electric supercharging has gained acceptance as a true source of additional power, and I am thrilled to see this progress.
Dude your like a Guinness with this electrical stuff and programming I’m watching all ur videos to learn a little
You are the man thinking ahead
Thanks. I try to be as well rounded as possible so that projects requiring different disciplines are within the realm of possibility.
Sick! This is exactly the direction i was intending to head. I hired a software engineer to develop a basic controller for the initial testing. Works off a map sensor and throttle position. This is enough for me to work with at the moment.
Haven't had time to make an update video but the supercharger is making 4.5psi valve open. Needs more batteries again haha 12s to 15s. Also need to remake the adapter and flange to tighten the tolerances.
This is what fear of Lithium does to a man... overly complicated control system :P How much do you know about brushless dc controllers? The controller I'm using doesn't say anywhere I could find how many amps it can handle and I feel like because I don't come from the R/C world I just don't know where to look. I have read the manual already and whatever else I could find on the net and still can't figure out where the ceiling is for the ESC.
@@ChrisCamaro Hi Chris, everything is looking great so far. As for the Mamba, 250 is the max amps @ 32v. If you find Castle Creation's download and data link you can set the spool up rate, inrush, max amps, etc.
@@thomasknight7588 Thanks, I figured it was somewhere in that neighbourhood but could not find an actual figure for the life of me. If there's something out there with transient inrush current as well, even better to help tune the duty cycle tables I have in my code. This is the only documentation I was able to find a while ago: dzf8vqv24eqhg.cloudfront.net/userfiles/4671/6540/ckfinder/files/Product%20Manuals/Surface/X_Series_Drivers_Ed_Guide_095-0290-00.pdf
@@thomasknight7588 I was going to send you a link to a link to the final video, showing everything working in the car but looks like you found me early :P You should take a moment to introduce yourself to my subs and viewers who are interested in this sort of thing.
Chris, this is awesome work man! I’m working on an electrically-powered centrifugal compressor as a power source to spin up little turbojet engines I make without having to attach directly to their shaft (to avoid introducing imbalances). Anywho, there are so many parallels between your work and mine and I’ll definitely be using some of your ideas and lessons-learned going forward; really great stuff! I recognize the Arduino Nano, but which boards are you using for the knock processing and executive control?
Thanks!
James
Main control is coming from an ATMega2560 or "mega" and the other 2 are ATTINY85 chips. I really like the ATTINY85 because it's overclockable, very small and perfect for a single thread process that would tie up the main. There's a fourier transform function that was intended for the larger chips which someone adapted for the tiny and it runs quite well on that.

Hii chris! Im intressted in your project!
Do u have some more info, github or some links?
Err... I'm kind of backwards and don't have any of that stuff. I do have the previous episode here on youtube but I assume you've already watched that. There will be another video coming soon to cover the physical install but if you have any questions in the meantime I can answer them here.
