Description
Safety is missing from most ECU uploads.

This is a modular engine controller with numerous built in safety checks. Many settings are done as flexible properties allowing changing them without going to the wiring diagram. A detailed list is below.

Some versions work with a throttle of 0 to 1 such as when directly linking the throttle. RPS versions also exist such as when looking to stay ~7 rps for fuel efficieny.

Air fuel ration and Stiochemetric math are used with choices beteen effecient or boosted power.

Use with generators

A compatibel MC addition for generator control exists. This allows use in diesel electric drives or as independent generators.

Compatible and tested with:
BBW Generator controller

Together they make diesel electric vehicles possible.

Engine safety features include

= Player present (aka deadman switch) (optional ignore)
= Tilt inputs for pitch and roll. (can be ignored by not wiring which will send 0 level signal all the time, do the ignore for aircraft)
= Engine temperature (common feature in most ECU)
= Engine cooldown (most miss this, letting the engine cool down for a while before allowing restart. Avoids repeat cycling)

Other controls:
= Manual starter
= Manual Trouble aka Disable signal (a common use is a visible pilot control to shut down the engines while running out to a rescue)
= AFR switch for economical or boosted

Outputs also include:
= Engine trouble
= Engine temperature
= Clutch control
= Supply calls at engine (like air pumps and fuel pumps)
= Distant supply calls (like tanks deep in a large build)

Other features:
= Autorestart settings (allows when troubles clear engine may attempt to restart itself, such as engine cooled or boat no longer flailing around)
= Clutch control settings (lower clutch settings at low and starting rps to avoid engine stall)

Thanks to Il_Simo

Uses the equations Il_Simo worked up on stiochometry and put in Steam guides.
