Unlocking 3000gt G-Sensor Function

[J. Fast]

Anyone know if the stock sensor is a single axis sensor or a tri-axis sensor?

Very cool project Jeremy.

Hrmm, I tried pulling up the team3s advanced technical doc on the ECS and it looks like the site has expired . Is it just me or is this link not working for anyone else either? team3s.com ? It's in the google cache so I know I'm not going crazy!

Its not working for me either.

not very useful at all, actually. it's just an up-down sensor.

Actually combine that and ABS g sensor and you have basic setup but not very good one.

This would be quite good setup.

You can do that anyway with MMCD and Evoscan.

Didn't know that. Learn something new everyday

Thanks for digging that up for me Pete, that was exactly what I was looking for! Looks like our ecs module has some room for improvement.

Some recent suspension engineering developments are offering a differentiating opinion on optimum suspension setups. A number of emerging suspension engineers are arguing suspension setups are being optimized with the implementation of softer springs, stiffer sways, and alternating suspension dampening at the corners (hence programs like active Yaw and 3d g-sensor calibration in the revised EVO).

Our current stock ecs program is programmed for fixed position but may stand to be optimized by writing a new program for alternating the dampening at opposing corners by means of adding a tri-axis g-sensor. That's pretty much what I hope we're able to implement in the revised controller and was hoping the stock ecs controller was a single axis for this specifi purpose. What that means is our stock ECS suspension is far more dynamic and may very well be severely under tuned for it's capability.

I appreciate you digging that up for me! Web archive is pretty cool (I learned something new today)!

Not to sound like a smartass, butttt, can we just rotate the sensor 90 degrees?

In case some people are wondering about validity, here's some cool shit I must give props to duke 3s for being a codewriting wizzard!

Phase I. Breadboard.



Phase II. Microcontroller and Coding



Phase III. Implementation and Testing
