Step by step guide for completing your V3.2 board

GenBoard/Manual/InitialTesting/VerThree is very similar (these must be consolidated), but this page has more images.


This page is about to describe how to make controller working from the beginning (assuming starting from the board, and NOT the cased unit that has significantly more stuff installed).

Now I'm just gathering the ideas and completing the page while thigs are getting ahead. Page will probably have a better place, but got to start from somewhere..I hope you like what I'm adding - GrmRacer

I have a brand new v3.2 board in my hand - what next?

Is there something I still need to solder?

Board has most of the components soldered by factory, but there are something missing. Most notably the flyback. Also some components related to extra features like EGT / knockdetect.

One still needs to solder by hand:

  • 8 diodes, marked ES2J (RED), make sure to solder them in the correct direction, showed by the white stripe [RescueKit] for description of parts
  • a flying wire from flyback rail to EC36 connector (YELLOW)
  • The ignition traces have higher clearance (for higher voltage capability) so the IGBT legs have to be [spread a bit] to make them fit.

Needed for 1st channel [WBO2]:

WBO2 Calibration

V3.2, Only solder the Q18 FET

Ok, all necessary parts are soldered - can I power it up now

This page duplicates information from several other pages - at the very minimum we have to make cross-links to warn about the fact.
