Hi Speeduino fellows

After discussion with my friends from vintage Fiat 500 forum, most of them would prefer to stick with carb. but they are all agreed a programmable ignition ECU would be a really nice to have for custom engine.
So I started a "small and low cost" speeduino design using MEGA Pro 2560 into the smallest Cinch ME-MX ECU enclosure.

So, because I had enough space to add more components than ignition only , finally it's a really "small" Custom Speeduino ECU into 100 x 65mm PCB :lol: .

Main features:
- Cinch automotive small enclosure ME-MX Molex connector (2 x12 pts connectors)
- Arduino Pro 2560 daughter card
- ISP interface for programming and debug.
- 4 injector channels (VND5N07)
- 2 ignitions outputs, 5V or 12V output level (IXDN602)
- 2 more outputs: Fuel pump, Aux (FAN, Boost or other purpose)(VND5N07)
- Stepper driver for IDLE (DRV8825) (if PWM idle not used)
- PWM Idle + Aux2 (if stepper driver not used) (VNLD5090)
- Communication via USB or Buetooth HM-11 module
- 1 VR sensors or 1 Hall sensors or 1 opto isolated input for crank (+12V signal input )
- +5V out for sensors power supply
- Baro and MAP sensor enclosed
- 4 analog inputs max. (O2, MAT, CLT, TPS)
- Tacho output (12V output level)

Schematic enclosed.
Will start the PCB production in a few days for this design, just need to double check the schematic before.

So the ISP connector is not usable?
Right, with Arduino IDE, USB is the way to go to burn a firmware.

But in the past, i had issue when flashing bootloader via USB/ Arduino IDE, I lost the (USB) serial connexion.
So, I was happy to use ISP connector and USBASP device to burn again a bootloader, and find (USB) serial connexion up and running!

Hi Fellows,

Small adjustments into the final design:
-Swap INJ and IGN connector outputs (in the case i just use 2 INJ and 1 IGN, running components will be far away from the PSU)
-Add a fuse into 5Vout
-Add a jumper for reset control feature
-Add a bus switch into RX/TX to BLE module, to open the bus (high Z) when USB cable is plugged. (avoid serial bus conflict between USB and BLE)

PCB under production at the moment! ;)

Hi Fellows,

Just received all components including casing, (PCB on the way).
"baby" Cinch ME-MX enclosure is nice!
;)

Just receive the PCB

Small follow up, assembly in progress, close to 90% for the 3 first PCBs.
Just check the buck regulator first and it work fine. ( with 12V-in, i have 6.7V-out, perfect to feed the Arduino pro 2560 board.)
