And my car has real bad mileage because it is so fast. I hope i won't draw much persecution in this forum because of that.
I came here because the OBDuino caught my interest.

At first i was afraid of new technology, but know that i understand it I keep finding bugs and its driving me crazy.

[dday]

Found this place because of the open source revolt controller project. Am looking to finnish a 1996 ranger that had an EV conversion started on it but then that person passed on. Have all of the books that he was reading and looking through. I am very interested in this type of stuff. Have a degree in Fluid power technology and Electronics. That has kept me off the streets and out of the bars.
