Some minor fixes, changes and optimisations were done. The result? One awesome car to drive! To test the car proper '''I drove 3800KM with the ECU on the road trip with zero modifications'''.

To show off I made a proper video of the entire ECU as it is at the moment. This includes the Interface software, logging, opening the log and plotting graphs, Driving with the ECU in the original ECU location.

To show off I made a proper video of the entire ECU as it is at the moment. This includes the Interface software, logging, opening the log and plotting graphs and finally driving with the ECU in the original ECU location. This replacement ECU fits in the original housing. The only visible difference between the LHR and the original is the USB cable coming out of the side. This can be easily tucked away behind the carpet, making it invisible and just like new.

Closed loop control. The closed loop control is not programmed, at the moment the ECU works only in open loop mode. I do not have a narrowband (option on my car was without the sensor) and the wideband is not connected. I will not be able to implement and test this on my car in the near future, but any volunteers are welcome that want to test it if they have the sensor.

Making  revised PCB. I have started designing the revised board, it will be smaller and a lot more power efficient. I also added the option of enabling more sensors to be connected to allow for easy mods and cstomisation.
  
At this moment I can make copies of this prototype for people who want it. I need to have at least 5 orders to do a batch. The lead time is 6weeks from date of order till delivery. The price? '''US$300'''. This includes cables and the interface software. What it does not include is the housing or the LH Connector. I do offer the service where you post your current ECU and I will swap it out for you with the connector and put it inside the original housing, post it all back to you, your original ECU along with the replacement. Contact me for pricing on that.

At this moment I can make copies of this prototype for people who want it. I need to have at least 5 orders to do a batch. The lead time is 6 weeks from date of ordering the components till delivery. The price? '''US$300+p&p'''. This includes cables and the interface software and future updates to the software and firmware. What it does not include is the housing or the LH Connector. I do offer the service where you post your current ECU and I will swap it out for you with the connector and put it inside the original housing, post it all back to you, your original ECU along with the replacement. Contact me for pricing on that. Another option is a different housing with a different connector. It includes the connector that goes on the wiring side also.
