Now I see that's not such a great idea, because I want the correct amount of swing in my pedal, not just an arbitrary hole drilled wherever mechanically fits. I didn't steal a brake pedal, just the booster, and my plan was to bolt the booster straight to the firewall. If spacers help you determine that, then good. You don't want it overly loose, but, somewhere right before it starts applying pressure is the right point. So, you trying to copy the same distance was probably counter-productive. You definitely don't want it hovering in the state where fluid can't return. Very quickly after the start is where the master cylinder locks off backflow (else it's not applying pressure). Maybe a hydraulic cylinder or lift or tool, but, that starts to be more work than just hooking up your damned brakes.Īs to the spacers, I hadn't considered that you'd want the plunger anything other than completely loose at the start. You could just keep them capped as you did and measure if current's flowing, but that doesn't tell you much other than that it's wasting energy, could still be broken and using power uselessly.īest way to test it is. Maybe not balloons, maybe just a small air pocket at the end of the hose that you've clamped shut in a vice or vice grips. You could attach balloons to the end of tubes on the output, and see if you can inflate the balloons easier with the booster or not, but, it's such small volume of fluid you're moving I don't think you'd notice a difference. The way you can tell if it's boosting, is if it's compressing something easier than you could compress it manually. With plugs put into the master, you have no ability to tell if the booster is boosting. Trying to think of how you can test it off of the car. You probably did okay to keep the seals wet, but not much more. You let air get into it right away again. I don't think you accomplished anything bleeding the master cylinder like that.
#Brake pedal for bosch ibooster how to
Let's just say I know a guy who might know a guy so let me see if I can rope him in (for the record he fingered out how to CAN the Gen 1 so not positive it's the same for this guy) That's a pretty big value but a serious candidate for controlling the ibooster. The specific message starts at position 39 and is 16 bits long, so two bytes. Specific brake request message starts at position 29 and is 1 bit long - at this point it's clear that this one can only be 1 or 0.Ĭomputer brake is also in can ID232 with 7 bytes. SG_ COMPUTER_BRAKE_REQUEST : (1,0) "" XXXĬomputer brake request is ID 232 decimal, 0圎8 hex, the length is 7 bytes. Production of the new iBooster will start in 2013.I'm not sure if we really know the can messages to get this ibooster to work? I know it works in Failsafe Mode, but it would be awesome for openpilot cases to know how to control it. The booster unit is purely electromechanical, without brake fluid, which means it can be rotated flexibly about the longitudinal axis. For example, if a vehicle offers different driving modes such as sport, comfort, or economy, the brakes can be made to react more softly or more aggressively as appropriate. The iBooster allows developers to define characteristic braking curves in order to adapt the pedal feel to a customer’s wishes. The iBooster incorporates a motor to control the degree of brake boosting via a two-stage gear unit for situation-dependent support on demand, avoiding the costly process of generating a vacuum using either the ICE or a vacuum pump. If the brakes are applied harder, the iBooster generates the additional braking pressure needed in the traditional way, using the brake master cylinder.
The Bosch iBooster recovers almost all the energy lost in typical braking operations by ensuring deceleration rates of up to 0.3 g are achieved using the electric motor alone. Ideally, a vehicle would be slowed down purely by the electric motor, avoiding the loss of valuable energy through braking.

Posted Jby Charles Morris & filed under Newswire, The Tech.īosch has developed a new electromechanical brake booster called the iBooster, which is designed to make hybrid and electric vehicles more efficient by providing situation-dependent support when a driver initiates braking.įor maximum efficiency, a hybrid or EV must recover as much energy as possible when braking.
