Hello everybody! First off i am VERY happy to see that this exists. I have worked with Arduinos in the past and i have programmed and ran a Microsquirt module in the past (I actually was going to use that for this project of mine but i thought i was smart enough to test everything without a fuse )
So i have a lm7 5.3l v8. This is a very common truck engine that has a 28x reluctor wheel (correct me if I'm wrong, came from a 2000 Tahoe.) I do not mind running in wasted spark or batch injection at all, and the newest version of firmware looks like it has everything that i would need to get it fully up and running. I want to be using this as a daily driver/ track drift car (no emissions required in my state) with a turbocharger added down the road. So my big question is, anything i am missing? i see support for the IAC stepper motor and the reluctor wheel and the logic level COP.
Also as i was using a Microsquirt previously i was going to go with a digital display right above the steering wheel, would anything like that be possible using an Arduino as a ECU? My idea was to use a Raspberry Pi connected with the Microsquirt running Tunerstudio to display all the needed information but now i do not know how much of an option that would be. Is there any future plan of a digital output that i could convert over to a display somehow? If so that would be very helpful. I'm very glad to have found this site and very excited to start working with everybody on an open source project with such potential as this one.
