Not sure where this goes, but it is basically two duinos. One (the plain chip and crystal) has been programmed in arduino to simulate a vehicle vss and injector signal, and the other is running the mpguino code. The test code is at the bottom. Now it isn't single digit microsecond accurate, but it also isn't limited by the number of timers either. With this approach you can generate a lot of different signals, i.e. buttons, etc. And since both the guino and the signal generator are connected to the computer simultaneously it is quite possible to have a PC program with all kinds of scenarios that tell the signal generator what to generate and get the result from the gunio to see if it is correct.
PHP Code:
//GPL Software
//cheesey signal generator, made for bench testing the mpguino
//signal generator pins
#define sig1Pin 2 //inj
#define sig2Pin 3
//overflow counter used by millis()
extern volatile unsigned long timer0_overflow_count;
unsigned long lastMicroSeconds=millis() * 1000;
unsigned long microSeconds (void){
unsigned long tmp_timer0_overflow_count;
unsigned long tmp;
byte tmp_tcnt0;
cli(); //disable interrupts
tmp_timer0_overflow_count = timer0_overflow_count;
tmp_tcnt0 = TCNT0;
sei(); // enable interrupts
tmp = ((tmp_timer0_overflow_count << 8) + tmp_tcnt0) * 4;
if((tmp<=lastMicroSeconds) && (tmp<4293967296))
return microSeconds();
lastMicroSeconds=tmp;
return tmp;
}
unsigned long elapsedMicroseconds(unsigned long startMicroSeconds, unsigned long msec ){
if(msec >= startMicroSeconds)
return msec-startMicroSeconds;
return 4294967295 - (startMicroSeconds-msec);
}
