Lately been playing around with my new MPGuino. Testing P&G and calibrating. Been having some trouble with screen freeze which I have yet to figure out. I will have to try powering it from an separate battery to see if it's a voltage issue.

Found a Ford MAP sensor which I plan to hook up to my cruise control to see if I can get vacuum regulated cruise. This is mostly for fun because I'm getting pretty good numbers from P&G.

I have the sensor, a 5V regulator and I know my VSS is about 8000 so they should play well together. Now I have to find the cruise control module somewhere under the shuttle dash. I have to run the wires for my vac gauge and mpguino anyway so...

Also been playing with HUD-MPGuino.
