    bootmod3 electronics: Rev2 CANBus Integration Board

    By Bertan Kazazic

    bootmod3 electronics: Rev2 CANBus Integration Board
    Exciting news from the bm3 electronics team! With the Rev1 version of our CANBus sensor hub board completed, and now focusing on an enclosure design, we have finalized our Rev2 design as well. As mentioned in our previous post, Rev2 board builds further on the Rev1 design by expanding its input sensing abilities and adds 6 outputs.
    The smaller Rev1 board features configurable CANBus conversion for 2 frequency inputs (e.g. flex sensor input), and 3 analog 0-5v inputs and will be a lower cost option for those looking to simply hook up a flex fuel sensor and possibly monitor any other sensors needed (e.g. low pressure side fuel pressure sensor on N55/B58) and be able to get Flex Fuel running using BM3 custom software enhancements right inside the DME. For flex fuel sensor integration, Zeitronix ECA2 and any other similar boards are also supported.
    The Rev2 board keeps the 2 frequency inputs like the Rev1, adds 2 EGT sensor inputs, expands from 3 to 8 analog 0-5v analog inputs and adds 6 outputs. All i/o is canbus integrated for sensing and control of canbus connected systems, primarily the DME. Both boards have integrated WiFi/BLE and all configuration is done over WiFi and integrated with the bm3 app/editor for ease of use by end users and tuners. Stay tuned for the release of many of the other new features we’ve been working on over the past year and more to follow on this board as firmware development is completed.
    Some pictures of the board design below:

    By Srdjan Bajat

    bootmod3 closed beta for the B48 engines has been a great success and we're excited to announce the wait is finally over!

    Our development and testing teams have worked tirelessly on BMW B48 engine feature support over the past few months. Once B58 was released back in April focus shifted to B48 testing with a wider closed beta. Initial flash time that includes unlocking the DME is around 3 minutes and switching maps takes just 19 seconds using the standard ENET-OBD cable available on Amazon/eBay or through even some authorized dealers.

    Licenses and more info can be seen by clicking on the link provided below:

    Power and torque gains differ between the 20i and 30i models due to slight changes in engine setup as well as factory power curves. Here is a breakdown of the gains in percentages compared to stock, see below. We're also attached some sample dyno graphs on a 20i and a 30i test vehicles.
