Topic # 1: Camshaft & Crankshaft

Synchronization Check
Camshaft and Crankshaft sensors are used to
monitor the position or rotational speed of the
crankshaft.
EMS uses this information to control ignition,
fuel injection, etc.
Synchronization is important in engines with
variable valve timing.
Speed of crank shaft and camshaft are measured
Crank shaft speed should be twice cam shaft
speed
Corrective action is initiated if necessary.

Topic # 1: Camshaft & Crankshaft

Synchronization Check stage 1
In Arduino UNO - crank shaft and
cam shaft speeds represented as
brightness of LEDs.
Potentiometers are used to varying
the brightness.
Check and compare potentiometer
readings for synchronization

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

Code

analogWrite(ledPin, val / 4); // analogRead values go from 0 to 1023, analogWrite values from
0 to 255
analogWrite(ledPin2, val2 / 4);
if (val < val2/2 || val > val2/2)

Synchronization Check - stage 2
Flickering speed of LEDs represent
crankshaft and camshaft speeds
LDRs (light-dependent resistor) are
used to sense flickering speed of
LEDS.
Potentiometers used to vary the
speeds to achieve synchronization
Compare LDR readings for
synchronization
