DIY engine diagnostics

First of all, a few important notes that you should definitely pay attention to.

  • Retrofitting for all motor types, as independent sensors are used
  • Use of cheap sensors
  • Measurements of various engine parameters
  • Flow rate cooling water (impulse, YF-S201B)
  • Temperature cooling circuits (1Wire, DS18B20)
  • Engine compartment temperature (1Wire, DS18B20)
  • Engine RPM (Pulse, GP2A26 Sharp)
  • Output Shaft Speed (Pulse, GP2A26 Sharp)
  • Tank level via pressure sensor
  • Engine operating hours (via speed detection)
  • Power supply via 12V on-board network
  • Data processing with ESP8266
  • Data transfer via WLAN
  • Data protocol NMEA0183, partly with customer-specific telegrams
  • Data display via OpenPlotter
  • Simple web front end for operation and display via mobile phone
  • Waterproof case
  • Installation location in the engine compartment for short cables
  • All sensors connected by cable
  • Price less than 120 euros for material
  • Current Circuit diagram
  • Board is with Aisler orderable
  • Current software: Source code, Binary file
