Introduction
• Transmission Background
• Reason For Transmissions
• How a Transmission Operates– Clutch– Torque Converter
Introduction
• Transmission Control Module– Why is it needed?– Who is it for?– How it works– Extra Features
Introduction
• Justification– Better Performance– Fully Customizable– Reduce Wear and Tear– Inoperable Without the Module
Conceptual Design
Work Plan
Research• Transmissions
– Inputs/Outputs For 4L60-E and 4L80-E
– Wave forms for I/O
• Software– Graphical User Interface in for
multiple OS and mobile devices.– Serial Communication on multiple
platforms [driver creation]– Interrupts for user parameters– Loading program into Flash with
proper initialization– TPU + MIOS for PWM generation– MIOS for the new microcontroller– Interrupt Initialization
• Hardware– Microprocessor for
environment [heat, vibration]– Outputs solenoids and
sensors– Serial Bus – Packaging
Design
• Hardware– Microcontroller Layout– Schematic Design– Signal Conditioning to ensure proper ranges and remove
damaging voltages or currents.
• Software– Develop cross platform software controls for user parameters– Develop the communication protocol from GUI to microcontroller– Develop the task code for microcontroller that considers all
inputs and provides correct PWM outputs
System Integration
Bring Components together: Controller + GUI
•Develop simulated prototype @ bench top
•Test on Dyno
•Deploy to a vehicle with an 4L60-E transmission
Testing
• Hardware– Signal Conditioning Circuits– Inputs to Microcontroller– Outputs to Transmission
• Software– GUI Interface– Microcontroller Code
• Stages– Bench Top– Simulation– Real World Environment
