  1. Ok. Another slightly odd question.... since I don't know or understand.... yet... Would your code work with Raspberry Pi? I'm trying to learn the differences and I'm again getting confused. I do gather that the Pi is a computer and the Ardunio is a controller, but it appears that the Pi can control? Do they speak the same language? Thanks!
  2. Well... That's a tough question! I would love to learn how to tune and tweak it, but I feel pretty overwhelmed reading through what I've seen so far. This is my daily driver that I don't plan on going any farther power wise, or going crazy once I'm done tuning. I like the idea of a Towing, Mileage, Daily and Performance "tune" with it. I plan to run a 5r110 Ford Transmission behind it... so it may be interesting... I'm not looking for the "easy button" but I don't want to screw it up either! lol So for Mega I could go with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kuman-2560-16au-Atmega16u2-Arduino-Duemilanove/dp/B016D5L7NY/ref=sr_1_17?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492558532&sr=1-17&keywords=arduino+mega Thanks! On a side note... By having the boost sensor already there, is there a way to make a gauge or digital gauge that I can watch based off that reading? Or is that something that I would need another board for then get a small touch screen to put the "gauge" on it. Sorry for the off the wall question... but it was an idea...
  3. Ok... 23 pages... and I'm trying to uncross my eyes. I'm honestly a bit lost. I'm going to put a 450ish hp 12v Cummins in an Excursion. So I won't be able to get much for Data off the OBD that I saw programmed in at one point... Although I will have TPS, RPM, Coolant temp, Ambient Temp, and of course whatever I would like to add. I started with this thread: Then came here... Is there an updated parts list for this? If I'm going to build it, I'd like to have the newest version of things. The origional post had boost and drive pressure, but it appears that those aren't used anymore? It's mostly off shaft speed? I'm sorry if these seem like basic questions...but I'm not much of a programmer or computer whiz. I can build just about anything with directions though.... 20 years of being a mechanic has helped with that! LOL A parts list, and then I can grab the most current code... and hopefully be good to go? lol Thanks guys!
