Ok, so I fully admit that this is the latest I've gotten a monthly firmware out, but in my defence it's been a huge month of work!
Before anyone gets too excited, a lot of the work in the June firmware is 'under the covers' rather than being sexy new features, but personally I consider the changes made this month to be some of the most important I've done in at least the last 12 months. From a reliability and accuracy perspective, there is no question that this firmware is the best since the project started.
Firstly, as mentioned last month, I have been working to make the firmware MISRA compliant. This work is now completed (With 2 documented/accepted deviations) making the codebase MISRA C:2012 compliant!
To ensure this continues to comply, I've also now setup automated scanning, which performs a code validation each time their is a change made on github.
Second, based on some fantastic testing and feedback from user mocia on the forums, there have been a couple of changes made to ensure more consistent operation at mid to high RPMs. One of these is to do with injector pulse consistency at high duty cycles and is detailed below, the other is an experimental new feature that changes the way ignition signals are timed. In testing, this has proven to give significantly more precise ignition signals (Down to worst case ~0.3 degrees accuracy at 6000rpm), in particular at higher RPMs. Currently this feature is only available on missing tooth trigger inputs, but it will be rolled out across all patterns in the next month. If you are using a missing tooth wheel and want to try this out, it can be enabled in the Trigger Setup dialog.
So those are the big headline items. Like I said, a LOT of under the covers type work that doesn't necessarily result in flashy new features, but is critical for Speeduino's maturity as more and more engines come on board. Other than the above, the full list of changes is below:
For this month, it's recommended that you update to the latest version of Tuner Studio (Currently 3.0.26) as a number of the newer changes rely upon features that have only been added to TS over the past few months.
As usual, always remember to load in the new speeduino.ini file into your project once you've updated the firmware.
If any issues are found, please let me know in this thread or in Slack.
EDIT:
Have uploaded a new version as a table bug was found in the original one posted. No need to reload the ini with this, just upload the new code. Updated version is at: https://speeduino.com/wiki/images/c/c3/ ... Jun17b.zip

- Changed the method that was being used on the injector outputs to be more accurate, be faster to execute and guarantee proper scheduling at high speeds. This allows for extremely high duty cycles (Beyond the limits of most injectors) without any signal corruption, as could potentially have occurred previously on duty cycles above ~85%
- Initial version of a Daihatsu +1 trigger pattern. This is for 3 and 4 cylinder Daihatsu engines with the 3+1 or 4+1 cam sensor
- Allow for custom MAP sensor calibration rather than only using the values in the list
- A number of minor performance improvements in some functions
- Tidy up a number of warnings that some people may have been seeing in TunerStudio
