I liked the case that the dropbear uses so I designed this ecu which uses the Mega2560 and is compatible with 0.4 pin designations in TS and compatible with the dropbear connector pinout.
Being basically a 4cyl design it’s connector can use the extra 4 ign pins to reinstate the 4 outputs that are lost when using stepper on the dropbear. (Jumper selectable to allow full dropbear pinout compatibility if wanted, with 8 paired inj outputs and 8 waste spark ign outputs).

Very nice!
Where did you source the neat usb cable?
Will you be sharing files to the community, I'm sure it would be popular

This idea in a through hole design would make a great v0.5 speeduino.

I have been thinking of the best way to share it. The pcb is a 4-layer with proper ground and power planes and being SMD is quite difficult and time consuming to hand assemble.
Smd designs are quite low cost if you get a quantity made so I have had 20x manufactured with smd parts only, I would be happy to supply one once I have worked out cost, shipping, and documentation to go with it.

The USB cable came from Aliexpress. And yes I have thought of trying to squeeze a throughole design into the same case / pinout to make a true diy version.

Nice! I designed a board for the same case earlier this year. It uses 99% THT components. But the circuit was toned down and adjusted to my specific application (4cyl NA engine). The pinout was also different from the official boards. I didn't bother sharing it because it wasn't perfect. I hope you guys don't mind if I share some pictures here.

I would also be interrested for personal use. Would you please share the design? Im handy with an iron and im not scared of SMD. Thanks

[KiwiNeil]

Hi, yes. I have now been running it reliably on a LS1 for a year or so and am now happy to share it. I have just started uploading files to the repository on GitHub, I’ll try to get it all up there this weekend. I will also be happy to sell a pcb with all smd parts fitted (as that shouldn’t be too expensive to ship) for anyone not wanting to do the smd assembly. GitHub/Neil427/….
Cheers Neil.

Hi Neil
Newbie to Speedy stuff by not Megasquirt . Looking for a board to suit the micro but can't handle SMD stuff because of arthritis . thru pin no problem and have reverted back to repairing old tube and solid state gear . I have an ECU to build for a Triumph 675R engine for an F2 sidecar and these compact units using the 2560 micro board all external sensors and this is perfect , but I will be running baro correction too .
I believe this is the case available on Ali for £10 + shipping ? The cable will also work in the exposed nature of a sidecar , and will find one on Ali.
Can you supply boards with SMD components installed to UK ?
A price please plus shipping .
Cheers
George
