EFI using GPIO

Post by ol boy »

Has anyone got a working GPIO running there fuel injection? I'm mostly drawn to it with the amp seal connector. I've mapped out all the CPU pins and it compatible with ms2extra 3.x.x firmwares.

MS2/Extra is not currently licensed to run on the GPIO.

I'm confused here. Are we talking about the GPIO board as sold by DIYAutotune, or something different? My understanding is that the GPIO is an add-on to the basic MS, not a "stand-alone"

Oh.. what's the deal with that? I remember you asking a few megameets ago if the GPIO would support the efi code and the presenter didn't seem to give a yes or no answer. So what would it take for ms2extra to be licensed for use on the GPIO board? My poor V3.0 pbc is more of a space filler and looking quite hacked up and the DB37 is getting quite flimsy.

Would I be with in the MS2extra license if I built my own pcb to hold my MS2 daughter board and my PICAXE based trans controller using a nice 50ish pin ampseal?

Thanks Ryan

yes the GPIO board. I think it's only $240

Every circuit is laid out and just needs the jumper from the CPU header to the IO you intend to use. The whole board is a proto area. ugh.

Definitely not. That would actually break both the MS2/Extra license and the intended use of the MS2.

If you want to make your own board, the only acceptable solution for an MS2/Extra based setup is to use the Microsquirt module.

Of course, a regular MicroSquirt isn't much more expensive than a GPIO kit, and that would get you the AMPSEAL too.
