the contract

Fortulately, our supervisor made a agreement with us and did some changes to our original plan. here followes the contract in which we are gonna to finished all the agreements. 
·         Put all 4A-FE engine electronic parts on a designed demonstration board.
·         Use a small DC motor to drive distributor rotor.
·         The speed of the DC motor is simulated to the camshaft speed which can be controlled   by a speed controller.
·         The speed controller gets input from TPS to synchronize accelerator and distributor.
·         Use spark plugs or spark plug testers to show ignition sparks.
·         Use a fuel tank with fuel pump to supply pressured fuel or special liquid to rail with injectors.
·         ECU gets all inputs like real engine and controls 4 injectors to spray fuel to transparent plastic tubes which are connected back to fuel tank.
·         Map sensor may not be simulated.
·         ECT can be simulated by a POT or can be heated up by heat gun.
·         IAT can have the same design with ECT.
·         Knock sensor signal can be simulated by a hammer.
·         O2 sensor may not be simulated.
·         Idle air control valve may not be simulated.
·         Cam and crank sensors are combined with distributor and can be tested by scope.
·         Use 12V battery to drive DC motor, fuel pump and power ECU /  injectors / ignition
·         Use a key set to simulate ignition switch.
·         Diagnostic connector can be used with scan tool.
·         A designed diagnostic port with diagrammed testing terminals can be easy to use with scope.
·         A user manual will be available. All sensors and actuators waveforms included.
·         Easy to be moved around and design for education.
·         Simulate to real engine. Not only spark frequency and injection formation can be seen on board, they can be changed when accelerating, decelerating and idle.
