Fuel Pump Controller

[JMitch19]

Hey guys, I work a company that does electronics / harness work for the aftermarket. A few of the vendors here sell our products.

We are going to start working on a fuel pump controller. I would like to know what you guys would like to see. Right now we are thinking about two different designs. Both would take input from any 5 volt sensor(MAP, TPS, ext).

Option 1 would have one pot to adjustable start voltage and another pot to adjust the point at which it goes to full voltage. There would be no ramp up at the full voltage set point it would just go to full voltage. example: you have your start voltage set at 9 volts. You have you have your full voltage set at 2.5v from from the MAP sensor. As soon as the controller sees an input from the MAP of 2.5v it goes to full voltage.

Option 2 would ramp voltage up over a set range. It would have a adjustable voltage start pot, a pot for the point you like to start the voltage increase, and a pot for the point which you would like the voltage to go to full. example: you have your start voltage set to 9 volts. You have the controller set to start ramping the voltage at 2v from the MAP senser and to be at full voltage by 3.5v MAP input.


We are just looking for some input on what you guys would like to see in a nice pump controller starting from scratch with nothing taken from what is already on the market.

thanks
