Man...you've been busy! Looks really good so far! :) (Love the
HotWheels looking logo...heheeh.)
Uhhhh...why are you releasing the BOM, PCB Schematics, and NetList?

Hey Bernd - I just recently finished building my first MegaSquirt
fuel-injection controller. I have two more that are still in the box
but want to install the first one and get some testing done before
building the last two. I am anxious (sp?) to get more involved w/it and
do some playing but unfortunately due to my fathers illness (ALS/Lou
Gherig's Disease) - it doesn't look like I'll get to anytime soon. It
currently has a 1-bar MAP sensor attached but I could easily replace it
w/a 2 or 3-bar one if you are interested in playing w/it. I know you
are busy w/the replacement motor in your Dak but thought you might be
interested since you are such a performance buff. If you haven't
already - check out http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html and/or look
thru some postings over at http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/megasquirt
and let me know what you think. Pay particular attention to the
PC-Configurator screen shots at the bgsoflex site and you'll get an idea
how controllable this thing is.
Latr,
Shane
