Arduino can control fuel injection systems by connecting to hardware like solenoids, sensors, and actuators. Below is a full example list of functions and setups used in such projects.
Here’s a breakdown of how Arduino is used to simulate or control fuel injection systems, along with example functions and hardware connections:
🔧 Hardware Components Typically Used
- Arduino board (e.g., Uno, Nano)
- Solenoid valve or injector model (to simulate fuel injection)
- MOSFET or transistor (to drive the injector)
- Power supply (12V for injector, 5V for Arduino)
- Sensors (e.g., throttle position, engine RPM)
- LCD or serial monitor (for feedback)
- Resistors, diodes, and capacitors (for protection and signal conditioning)
🧪 Example Arduino Functions for Fuel Injection
setup() | pinMode(injectorPin, OUTPUT); | |
loop() | digitalWrite(injectorPin, HIGH); delay(injectionTime); digitalWrite(injectorPin, LOW); | |
readSensor() | int rpm = analogRead(rpmPin); | |
calculateInjectionTime() | int injectionTime = map(rpm, 0, 1023, 1, 10); | |
logData() | Serial.println(injectionTime); |
🧪 Real Project Examples
- Fuel Injector Simulation: Uses Arduino to send timed pulses to a solenoid or LED to mimic injector behavior. See this GitHub project.
- Fuelino Project: A motorcycle fuel injection controller and data logger using Arduino Nano. It adjusts injection timing based on engine modifications.
- ECU Development with LabVIEW: Combines Arduino and LabVIEW to create a training ECU for fuel injection control, useful for educational setups.
🧰 Sample Arduino Code Snippet
const int injectorPin = 9; int rpmSensorPin = A0; void setup() { pinMode(injectorPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int rpm = analogRead(rpmSensorPin); int injectionTime = map(rpm, 0, 1023, 1, 10); digitalWrite(injectorPin, HIGH); delay(injectionTime); digitalWrite(injectorPin, LOW); delay(100); // simulate engine cycle }
If you're building your own injector controller or simulator, I can help you tailor the code and hardware setup. Want to simulate a specific engine type or sensor input next?
