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.
To be continued .....
