anyone try Jean's PWM converter board yet?
#3
As much as I want to tell you how wel it works, and how much I want to try it...
I cant until i get the damn thing. Its bee a while since I've ordered it (two weeks ago on friday) and I have yet to receive it. Apparently, he chooses the slowest shipping available, but I guess I gotta keep in mind its coming from Ontario, Canada.
As soon as I get it, I will definitely tell you how well it works. I want CL idle so bad, im sick of having my car die when my headlights and A/C come on. I want my car to idle at 850-900, rather than 1000-1100

It s aboard that multiplies the frequency for PWM signals. MSII has a problem with using closed loop idle on NB miata cars because our idle valve works at a frequency of close to 500Hz. A stock MSII computer can work at a maxium frequency idle of 457.5Hz, but the problem with using a higher multiplier on the stock MSII computer is that the resolution of PWM DC control suffers more. The less of a multiplier you use for the idle control code, the higher the resolution the PWM idle works at. IIRC, at 2-3 multiplier, it works in 0.2% steps. In 8-15 multiplier, the DC works in 6%-10%, which makes CL idle basically useless when set at higher multiplier.
The PWM converter board that Jean sells is basically an external PWM frequency multiplier. It can work in multiples of 2 to 256, but a miata wouldnt use that higher of a number. If this is used, you will keep the resolution that you want for CL idle, but working at the frequency you desire. When you set the settings on the MSII MSQ, it should be set to a low settings, but not THE LOWEST setting IIRC. I think its best set at a multiplier of 2 or 3, then use the PWM multiplier board to get as close to 500Hz.

Yes, but the resolution of the MSII is only in 30.5 increments right? The base map has a value of 13 (so 13 x 30.5 = 396.5hz). Close enough I'm sure, I just wanted to know the exact value. Either way, based on what I'm reading, the error that is present at this value indicates that I would benefit from the converter board. It seems that all 1.8 miatas would benefit from the converter board. Thanks.
