MPGuino



MPGuino showing typical numbers as of this AM:

49.9 MPG over 39.2 miles. That's in 2 days' use, about a 1/3 mix of sub/urban to 2/3 secondary highway driving in hot (25-30C) weather.

UNFORTUNATELY, my MPGuino is a bit buggy.

It randomly resets itself. That 39 mile reading is one of the longer stretches it's gone without a reset. Sometimes it resets multiple times over the course of a short trip, and sometimes (rarely) it completely freezes, requiring a hard reset (unplug).

I keep meaning to check for bad solder spots, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I posted a dedicated MPGuino / Miata installation thread.
