Hi Everyone

I'm sure you have all met the Bedouin in the past from Bertie's brave efforts to rescue her, so I'll not dwell on her history.

Earlier this year, I had the idea of running her on LPG. Bits were bought and eventually installed and she ran. Just not all that well. When I got it sweet at WOT she would not idle. If I got the idle right, she tended to run badly across the range. Not being sure if the issue also included the ignition timing, I decided to do what every sane person would do, and go for LPG FI. This would solve all my (automotive) problems, this was the answer!

So I started looking into programmable ECU's. The budget ones were still scary expensive! Then I came across Speeduino.

As I was explaining to my brother-in-law, Speeduino is a shield board for an Arduino. So he looked up Arduino on his phone and said 'oh, its like a raspberry pie'. Yes I said, 'like they may use in a washing machine' he said, yes I said, all I have to do is find the fast spin setting and I'm sorted.

Speeduino comes in a variety of flavours including the option to populate the PCB yourself. Being electronically challenged, and actually wanting it to work, I sent away (Australia) for the populated board. :D

To be continued .....

Can,t wait..

Megasquirt units are sold for 150,- euro. I guess yours will be more expensive.

Also I think arduino isnt fast enough to do all the things original megasquirt does... So please proof me I'm wrong .

It is probably because I am using my phone. I'll dig out my laptop and try that. 8-)

Apologise for the lack of progress on this project, but I've decided to get my bike on the road first so I can have a second vehicle as a back up.

Turns out the bike is needing considerable tlc :)
