Car in a box

Hi

I'm currently building a 'Car in a box' https://www.mintynet.com/?page=hack for use at security events to safely show others how to hack cars.

I am using Ardustim on an Arduino nano to simulate the Crank and 2 Cam sensors and this works well. I am using a basic 555 circuit to simulate the two O2 sensors.

The problem I am having is with simulating the ABS Wheel Speed Sensors, I have managed to use a basic DSO138 scope to get the following waveform for one of the sensors



The waveform was created using the sensor next to a magnet rotating in a drill and the 10hz equates to approx 1mph.

I have tried to use a XR2206 signal generator with either sine or triangle waveform but it does not seem to register any speed. The square wave output doesn't allow to vary the amplitude so cannot check that

Can anyone recommend a circuit that could possibly generate the correct waveform.

Thanks in advanced

Ian

mjkuwp:



I assume there may be multiple kinds of wheel speed sensors for ABS.  The ones that I have seen do not use magnets and are called variable reluctance sensors.  I think the signal is close to a sine wave.  It will be low amplitude at low speed and increase from there.

coromonadalix:
a simple 555 oscillator could do ? with some added transistors you could do up to 12v signal levels ??

mintynet:
I have tried the two circuits shown on https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/abs-speed-sensor-simulator.133901/ and these do not seem to work. I may try them again but reverse the polarity.

Thanks

max_torque:
There are broadly two types of wheel speed sensor:

1) Old "voltage output" types, that are just VR sensors, that output a sine wave that is an amplitude and frequency proportional to the speed the target teeth are passing the sensor

and

2) Modern "current output" types that output a constant current (7mA no target and 14mA with a target in view).  These can also have complex waveforms / edges that encode direction as well as speed
