722.6 Special controller
722.6 Special controller
Hi all
Just want to share my progress at controlling the 722.6 fully electronic gearbox width the Arduino Mega and my own PCB and programming.
Here is a little video showing the Manuel mode

Here showing the menu system

There is still some work to do but works great in both automatic and manuel mode :-)
Good to see. Is the controller integrated with the PCS tcu and you are doing adjustments through your interface? Or did you develop your own tcu.

Looks cool. Not quite as much control over the transmission in the scaling but functional. Did you sell the PCS setup. There is new firmware now and soon to be even newer. For tuning in the car you can use the PCS touchscreen data logger. It will also do boost control. It would probably do the the electronic rack also. I have not looked into that. I used my tcu for boost control though for a long time.
I like it though. Simple and to the point. And it looks like it is doing all features for you. What are the shifts like? I finally got all the scaling for the pressures and temperatures really nice on my cars.
Hi
The shifts are totally smooth to wery hard depending on how i adjust it.
The shift points are a parabolic curve, as you know i want it to shift almost at the same speed from 0% TPS to 25% TPS and so on and then it gets steeper and steeper the more TPS you give it.
Regarding the shift Firmness i only have 2 point to start width, and a line in between. and that is calculated, depending of TPS + Boost
And can be controlled individual in up and down shift
As the TPS is calculated, in my case 35% and the boost the rest 65%.
Very cool. Looks like a lot of work. But I like the adjustability and the fact that it works with your other features. I have to say that I am tired of driving around with a laptop. That is why I am finally getting a datalogger for myself. I just wish that it would tune my engine also. But I normally do not have to mess with that very often. I am going to have the datalogger docked in both of my cars. So I can switch back and forth really easy.

On purpuse i did not count the time it took ;-)

I know. Sometimes it is better just not to know. When I think of how much time I have invested in things. I could get a part time job at the grocery store and make enough money to drive a new Ferrari. Honestly though I like the projects as much as the final product. Looks like you are in the same sick boat.
Hi again
Done some more work on the controller today, actually now driving it in the car.
It is fun work when it works :-)
Here is a test in automatic mode.

so i know you have that little button. do you think you'll be able to incorporate the stock snifter to shift in manual mode? or will it be some other system like a paddle shift?

yea a bump up and down. I doubt the stock shifter could be modified in that manner.
maybe just a whole different assembly for racing?
idk just talking out my ass more or less haha

Soon paddleShifter in the car :-)
Just bougt the AMG Paddleshifter on ebay
And made the interface for my Controller
The god thing is that i still only need the 2 wire going true the sterring collum, i thing i call it gearcolum in the video

man thats cool!
Just mountet the SLK 55 AMG gearbox on my OM606.
As it comes from a V8 i had to change the Converter housing and the converter.
Thanks to Drake for the description.
I has totally great shifts :-)
But the bad thing is that there is still issues in 3 to 4 gear, damn. but better as the old ones.
Hi Ole. What was that previous box? Why change?
How much torg you have on 606? Did any reinforce that AMG box?
Guestion age

Really nice hold up that 606 box. Is that AMG 580nm box.
I try to reinforce that 5wa580 what i have, as i think at it can hold up my tiny engine, but boy i love those nitrous

Jeemu what do you think is max safe torque for w580 722.6 transmission?
(12-29-2011, 06:23 PM)majesty78 Jeemu what do you think is max safe torque for w580 722.6 transmission?Hi. I have told at ican handle 700nm, but dont know for sure. I reinforce my own so i dont have to test it.

Stock transmissions can handle a lot more torque with standalone control because of pressure control. But they are limited to around 5-600 wtq if you are trying to put it down with drag slicks.
But you will be braking almost all of the drive line components before the trans. And these numbers are related to heavier cars than ours. The chrysler lx cars are 4,000 lbs and this is about their limit.
Yes Paddle is in and working
So mutch more fun ;-)
