Here, let me re-arrange your post...

For the RPM, I have tried several Revs/Inj Pulse values, but they're all off for me

Can you post what vehicle your MPGuino is going into? Can you also post a YouTube video of what results you're getting with the MPH and RPM displays?

FE/Time Period s
bgLower * 1000 MPH
bgSize * 1000 MPH

These mentioned settings do not have any direct effect on speed or fuel readings. If a setting has "* 1000" in it, then that means that the displayed setting needs to be multiplied by 1000 to be entered as an MPGuino setting. For instance, to set the bgLower * 1000 MPH setting to 20 MPH, you'd need to enter "20000" into MPGuino for that setting.
These below settings are for an added feature I have not yet fully implemented into the MPGuino code, which is the ability for the MPGuino to quickly calculate aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance coefficients for a given vehicle.
- FrArea is your vehicle's Frontal Area (either in ft ^ 2 or m ^ 2, depending on your metric setting).
- rho is the atmospheric density (in either lb / ft ^ 3 or kg / m ^ 3)
- C(d) is the computed coefficient of drag (this is dimensionless)
- C(v) is the computed coefficient of viscosity (also dimensionless)
- C(rr) is the computed coefficient of rolling resistance (also dimensionless)
These below settings are for the graphic displays for the (something) vs. Speed added feature. There are currently 4 different graphs associated with this feature - FE vs. Speed, Engine runtime vs. Speed, Distance vs. Speed, and Fuel Consumption vs. Speed.
- bgLower is the minimum speed at which the bar graph is to collect and display data (either in MPH or KPH, depending on your metric setting)
- bgSize is the size of each bar in the bar graph (there are 16 separate bars). So, if your bgLower is set at 20 MPH, and your bgSize is set at 5 MPH, then the bar graph display will show data for 20 MPH, 25 MPH, 30 MPH, and so on. (this is also either MPH or KPH)
These below settings are for the graphic displays for the (something) vs. Time added feature. There are currently 2 different graphs associated with this feature - Differential FE vs. Time, and FE vs. Time. It is an MPGuino implementation of this
real-time graphic feedback feature that is found on the ScanGauge E.
- FE/Time Period is the time step for this bar graph. For this setting, MPGuino will collect a windowed average collection of data for the specified time period. Once this time period is reached, MPGuino will slide the collected average onto the rolling bar graph display, and will also discard the oldest collected average. (this is in seconds)
