Happy to see you are still updating this occasionally!

I'm currently breadboarding the legacy MPGuino setup with the hopes of making a small prototyping board, and maybe even making some PCB's.

That's what it seems like. Swapping old and worn single hole EV1 to 4 hole EV1 upgrade or EV6 injector swap is very popular.

I think you'll like mpgs and rear downforce ( reduced rear lift ) the cap provides.

Of course man! The code is on my website. It's at the bottom of the main MPGuino script. Check the variables I use, I forget what names i used but you'll figure it out.

I had put a random small resistor inline with the injector signal instead of a 50k, because 50k made the signal too weak. I replaced it with a 10k and it works perfectly now.

'tuft testing'

Flow looks good!
It does indicate the formation of attached longitudinal vortices, along the roof / sail panel intersection of the cap, which carry relatively high drag.
A solution would be either...

So I forgot to plug my hardware into the injector wire, I was just measuring the injector ground. This is how the signal actually looks, and it looks good, so I think my code is the problem.
