These projects seem to loose momentum after they get a few running and realise the flaws require a complete rewrite and or more expensive hardware to fix said flaws.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here

just get microsquirt and call it a day
whats so bad about microsquirt? the fact that tons of people use it and there is support all over the internet? oh yea that sucks big time
...which loves sending "cease and desist" letters ...
That all said, competition is a good thing. Even if it's just a threat of competition, I have to believe Megasquirt has been nothing short of disruptive to other stand alone producers.
Far too many buy a MicroSquirt and them try to make it do the things a MS2 can do and have a less than stellar experience.
Like what?
It can't do sequential injection or coil on plug for a V8 I believe.

It can. Well, maybe not sequential, but sloppy mechanics sells a plug and play microsquirt for LS swaps.

edit:// An LS is considered COP yes? Not Coil near plug, or whatever the hell they call it?
You're right. The one limitation of microsquirt that I've found is the limited fuel outputs. But that is offset by the cost, size, and available support in my opinion. Plus you don't have to use a DB37.
You can control as many cylinders as you want, but you only have two fuel channels. So for controlling a V8 there are two fuel banks of 4 cylinders. So far from sequential.

yeah hindsight is a bitch on stuff like that. I find it better to hold off on starting a project before there's a clear path to victory. sometimes this is not always plausible, but at least it's a good rule of thumb
