1. Plug and play - meaning a simple unit swap with no additional bits or cable changes.
2, Programmable engine parameters.
3. Diagnostics - data output to a laptop or I pad etc.
I've made some progress on prototype software and hardware interfaces but I need help with
1. A dead or no longer wanted ECU - I just need the connector but the housing would be a bonus.
2. Suggestions for features/ideas/comments.
3. Any expression of interest in what I am doing.
I have spent less than $100 so far but it will soon be time to commission a printed circuit board and that will probably cost a few hundred-maybe quite a few.
I considered trying crowd funding but now I'm wondering about "group of fanatic masochists" funding. Is anyone interested in throwing a few bucks into the pot with the possibility of a workable unit at the end?
Why do I think I can do this?
1. I am an Electrical Engineer by profession. I've done hardware and software product design.
2. I've been an amateur mechanic for more than 40 years (yikes!)
3. Functionally the analog ECU is pretty simple. I've investigated and found solutions for the hurdles I've identified so far.
4. I'm stubborn.
If anyone is interested please let me know. I am willing to provide status reports as I move along.
Thanks for listening.
