Ordered my iDuino

Ordered a vacuum gauge and iDunio today. Wish me luck! I can't wait to get the mpguino working; I love the idea of driving an analog gauge; what a great way to get instant feedback!

If you ordered from the same place, it's coming USPS First Class from Canada. Might be a while.

the waiting will drive you nuts, well me anyways. Took it about three weeks to make it to my doorstep.

And anyone ever think of integrating the MAP sensor output to the MPGuino for a super accurate digital vacuum gauge?

Check to see if your Jeep is OBD-II. (It's required on 1996+ model year, but some manufacturers implemented it sooner.) If so, you can get a ScanGauge II. More expensive and possibly slightly less accurate, but you don't have to hack into any wiring. Otherwise, check the MPGuino wiki here: MPGuino - EcoModder

I think more vacuum is the symptom of better economy, not the cause of it. For better economy with a Cherokee, we're talking stiff tires at high pressures, aero mods, taller gearing, manual transmission...

Interesting idea, you are saying you want to have an actual needle pointing device correct? Will that be in lieu of having a display, or in addition? If you are looking to build one with a display aswell, you may want to look at the iDuino MPGuino thread, and/or the MPGuino Release One Workspace. Best of luck.

Yeah, I think there are a couple of available pins on the MPGuino, so I'd like to have an analog gauge more in the line-of-sight, with the regular digital display and buttons down on the console. That way, I can see out of the side of my eye if my economy is being affected by what I'm doing.
