Thanks, Wyatt glad you like it. Had a lot of time in figuring out a good case setup. I took two 4x2x1 Shack project boxes, the first I cut for lcd. The second I drilled through the case and got longer #6 screws from Lowes. Buttons are from the Shack too.

Ok, the much delayed soldering is finally done, and I have another question. I only have the power jack to solder together. Does anybody know whether the center post is positive or negative?

The soldering is finally done, and I'm ready to copy the IDE to it. When I plugged in the usb cord, Windows saw it as new hardware and wanted to install drivers for it. I cancelled that, but I can't find it when I look for it in the computer. How should I be doing this? Thanks.
Also, do I delete the first 3 lines about only using arduino version 0011 or leave them in?

cmags did a pretty good job summing everything up (for an iDuino). They should all be basically the same.

You can leave everything as it is, no need to delete the first lines, they are commented out so they don't really do anything.

Aaahhh, soooo....... You can just call me "Grasshopper." I did read the whole thread. I guess I forgot that reply from page 3 by the time I got ready. Thanks. Now I just need to put in the correct vss and injector values, and I should be set.

You can look at the wiki for an idea on values to use, but the MPGuino will more than likely take some adjusting.

Do make sure you use arduino version 0011, not the latest one 0012.

Is that what these are for? Which of these do I need to set? Just VSS, and uS/G?

#define contrastIdx 0 //do contrast first to get display dialed in
#define vssPulsesPerMileIdx 1
#define microSecondsPerGallonIdx 2
#define injPulsesPer2Revolutions 3
#define currentTripResetTimeoutUSIdx 4
#define tankSizeIdx 5
#define injectorSettleTimeIdx 6
#define weightIdx 7
#define scratchpadIdx 8
#define vsspause 9
