SSSICK/User Manual/R019

The SSSMCK has an LED that displays operation and errors, internal error checking that can output specific codes to Buoy for diagnostics, dynamic short-term and long-term corrections, and the ability to tune various parameters.

LED Display

In all versions UNTIL R019, the LED normally operates in fader mode, where it's color is directly related to MAF flow rate. It will be green at low flow and fade to blue at higher flow rates. It will illuminate red if an error is detected.

Starting with hardware R019 the LED now only displays the current operating mode of the unit, or illuminates red upon detecting any errors.

The R019 LED looks like this:

LED Color Chart (R019)

LED Color	LED Color	Meaning
	Green	The unit is operating normally.
	Red	There is an active error. Please connect to Buoy to read any available error codes.
	Yellow	The SSSMCK is waiting on a command from Buoy.
	Orange	Power supply issue (over- or under-volting). Please contact us.
	Blue	The unit is starting. This should only be illuminated for about 0.01 seconds during startup. If this stays illuminated, try resetting the unit.
	Purple	Buoy is reading/writing to the SSSMCK.
	Pink	Buoy is reading/writing to the SSSMCK.

Gauges and add-ons

We offered a few options on earlier versions, from R006-R0012, but have discontinued gauges from the time-being. If you need assistance with a gauge, please contact us directly.

Error Codes

The SSSMCK is capable of displaying a number of error codes that can tell you exactly what, if any, issue it is experiencing. All systems have self-checks coded-in, and if anything is out of specification or an item fails, the SSSMCK will know immediately. An LED that is illuminated red is an easy way to tell if there are any issues.

Tuning

Tuning from within Buoy is currently in alpha-stages, it will be available publicly soon!

Parameters

Input Sensor

There are many different input sensors to choose from: Mass AirFlow sensors, Throttle Position sensors, and Manifold Air Pressure sensors. While each unit is shipped pre-programmed for the sensor you chose at checkout, you can always reprogram it for a new sensor later.

You can use one of the available MAF sensors freely without the need for a specific ECU tune. However some sensors, such as TPS and MAP, require you to have a specific ECU tune in order to run properly.

Output VAM

This is the sensor that your ECU is tuned for. This is almost certainly the stock VAM that your vehicle was equipped with, unless it was changed and your ECU was retuned for another sensor at some point.

Averaging

Enable to allow the SSSMCK to perform software averaging of signal processing. This is enabled by default.

We recommend a setting of somewhere between 30 and 40. A larger value means slower reaction, but perhaps smoother operation. A smaller value means sharper response, but an overly small value will provide the ECU with too much noise and may cause rocky operation.

Manual Correction

Enable this to allow the making of manual corrections to output. This scalar is part of a final output equation. Adjusting this directly affects the calculated airflow. (E.G. 100 kg/hr will be converted to 105 kg/hr with a correction scalar of 1.05)

Dynamic Correction

• • Enable this to allow the SSSMCK to automatically make corrections to output based on discrepancies.
  • Correction Limits
    • We recommend setting these limits to no less than 0.90 and no more than 1.10. This is a direct scaling factor for true airflow value and not a function of analogue signal.
• Custom LED Color
  • You can set your own custom LED color for normal operation. The default normal operation LED color is green. Resetting the unit to default values will also reset your custom LED color.

Reset to default values

If you ever have trouble, you can easily reset everything to default values from within Buoy. Instructions will be available with the release of the next version of Buoy.
