Now I have the fun prospect of changing the crystal back to 16mhz while still in the car That said i'm building up another control board so may test it on that first. I'm running v0.9 in the car with great results i'd just like to be able to use newer versions of the code as it evolves. I don't know how or if the lower frequency would effect the mosfet design but mabey someone could run a test?
Better watch out Jack, you're almost out of gas.....
