I rekon that I could make a traction control device. All the signals are there already. All you need is a computer to compare the difference in frequency of pulses from front and back (left & right). If the frequency difference gets over a certain level then you cut the fuel to the injectors.

I rekon with my knowledge of Electronics & computer programming, I could do this with a fast PIC chip.

Could be worth investing the time!!!

 

If I manage to do it, would any one be interested???

Shaun,

 

I think that you'll find that a lot of the people on this group have opted for the Racelogic Traction Control set up, in fact we're waiting for delivery of a batch following a recent Group Buy.

 

Have a look at their web site:

Later M8

i have already opted for the racelogic tc and i think youll find most people have already. personally i woudl rather go for something proven (no offence) if you could show it work sand is reliable im sure youll get interest.

You're right but I wouldn't have thought that it would have cost more that £40 for the parts to build something like that rather than £500!

PS do you live on Anglesey? I live in Y Felinheli!

The Race Logic's traction control is built around a Motorola HC11, so I'm sure a PIC would suffice.

 

Like any product, this would take a lot of testing and tuning but

if you've got the time then I'm sure you'd manage.
