Post by thread:[PIC]:Jet Engine FADEC

I am re-sending this message because I did not have the proper header in the subject line the first time. Hello For the last year I have been building a jet engine and a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronic Controller) for it. I have finished the engine and donated it to a local university. I am in the process of designing a new engine and have completed the design of the intake, compressor and diffuser. The engine should have an output thrust of 300 to 500 lbs. with the afterburner off / on. I used a PIC 17C766 for my FADEC processor and PBP (Pic Basic Pro) to program it. The FADEC reads 50 instruments and has 20 outputs. The instruments include thermocouples, pressure transmitters, current sensors, strain gauges, proximity switches, etc. and the outputs drive pumps, valves and glow plugs. Would anyone here be interested in helping me debug the code. The code has about 1000 lines of basic. I can provide more details to those who help.

This sounds very interesting. I don't have much time to help, but if you have specific bugs that need to be worked out I can look and see what I see. I've recently been following the homebrew efforts of others who build simple jet engines out of car turbochargers. Very interesting stuff. -Adam Scott Beatty wrote: {Quote hidden}>I am re-sending this message because I did not have the proper header in the >subject line the first time. > >Hello > > For the last year I have been building a jet engine and a FADEC >(Full Authority Digital Electronic Controller) for it.

Scott, I would be willing to lend you a hand on a time available basis. Let me know more of the specifics, and I'll give you a better estimate of my available time I can commit.

Scott, I think I could fit that into my schedule. When do you want to start? Let me know, and can begin.

I would like to see some details on your engine. Do you have a website?
