Hey people! Just a thank you to those who helped when I was in dire need! When I left NZ I had just a few dollars left in my account post trailer hire and other costs of getting out of the country. I'm now living in Barcelona Spain (yes, you can call me a euro-fag if you like :-p) with my wife (Spanish), and still working hard on this!

And a quick update: You'll all be pleased to know that the first Honda ran on FreeEMS just a few days ago! It was the tenth engine to run FreeEMS and you can read the somewhat ROFL story here:

http://forum.diyefi.org/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=1560

Various levels of detail on the other 9 are available here:

http://forum.diyefi.org/viewforum.php?f=55

Engines 8 and 9 were on the second and third of January, respectively. A great start to the new year :-)

Cars from 1968 - 2002, 9 brands of vehicle, 4 countries, it's growing!!!

This year is going to be BIG for FreeEMS :-)

Fred.

PS: And yes, I'm still living from donations, however I'm not desperate and I know a lot of you guys are on low income too, so don't go without beer for me! :-)

Post a donation link and I'll kick you another $10 euro-fag.

I think I need to try this on my old Chevy truck soon.

There's no need right now, though every cent does help! If I get in trouble again, I'll put up my hand, I'm not shy :-)

Donate links are on most of the pages, eg: http://freeems.org

Cheers!

Hey man, thanks for the offer! I'm well aware that a lot of people are equally as broke as me, so if that's you, hang onto it! If you're doing OK, feel free to use the donate link on http://freeems.org which, once clicked, gives my paypal address.

I appreciate the support, but I'm conscious that I'm not in the starve situation that I was in when JD started this thread. It's now a case of keeping the wife happy and avoiding work so as to put more time into the project in various ways.

Fred-nog; I don't do donations, but I gladly support innovation and am an angel investor in a couple small time businesses - if you'd be interested in something more along those lines shoot me a private message. I love your work and think it follows a logical progression of where the scene is/was and ought to be.

I don't do investors, sorry, but thanks for the offer :-) Also, investors aren't much good when all of your work is for free and you're dying slowly while living in your car. Thanks again to those who helped when I really needed it! Most appreciated.

I have just launched an itty bitty business, kick started by, you guessed it, donations, here: http://brickems.com



I've just about sold out of the first tiny batch of BrickRPM boards and will be placing an order for more supplies for another batch using the proceeds from the first lot any day now.

Expect more diy efi style stuff from that effort in future, however the core still is the firmware, and that's unpaid and lots and lots of work. Without the firmware being awesome the whole thing means absolutely nothing, and the firmware is free. Yesterday I did this much work:

29 files changed, 598 insertions(+), 343 deletions(-)
25 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 512 deletions(-)

And achieved these results:





bottom is RPM, /2 for real
left is kPa, /100 for real
VE is /512 for real
Timing is (currently) /1024 for real

Tables are adjustable size, so you can choose skinny/long/tall/square/whatever within some limits.

Pretty soon there won't be default logging, each user will log what they need/want meaning less logged = higher rate, more logged = lower rate. Default is currently 80Hz.

Etc! I'm doing this full time, as I'm still not legally allowed to work in Spain, yet. Plus with 25% (you read right) unemployment, even if I was, it'd still be average :-/

Eventually, yes. There are a few other projects with different hardware goals on the go by others, too. What's the application, exactly?

There is a road map guide here: http://forum.diyefi.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=1699

The safe time to get involved as a normal user is once the third milestone has been achieved.

Currently working on the first one. It's a long slow road, but the quality is good, and the users happy, so far, mostly.

I will have several applications once it is a stable purchasable unit. I honestly do not have the time or the desire to learn what I would need to learn to use it from this point, or from any point prior to being able to purchase it like a pre packaged mega squirt.

I would love if it eventually supported diesel common rail injectors, but that is kind of a pipe dream I am sure. I would be happy with just a nice ems for various turbo v8 projects, and snowmobile projects. I would rather have my purchase money go back into something where I feel I have some sort of relationship (other then money in exchange for product) with the creative leader of the product.

If any of you have any spare cash and are happy with the way the FreeEMS project has been going recently, please log in and have a read of this basically begging thread:

http://forum.diyefi.org/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2220

Basic summary, OK right now, will be short of cash by end of October and in need of some help to get my possessions out of Spain and back to NZ. Could do with some food money once back in NZ until I find a job too. Otherwise, all is going well :-)

Oh, and another helpful thing would be to fund flying your favourite moderator Mr JD himself to Seattle for a few days to help me hack on/tune up a Honda engine and do some VTEC yo work.

A picture that I've not published publicly elsewhere yet, just for you lot, because you're obscure:



Received three DVDs of media of that car today. Will start going through it all fairly soon once I have something more important done.

Drive-by-wire coming soon, too, by necessity for my future. http://www.facebook.com/FreeEMS/posts/10151595525989022

Well, just south of interstate 5 on 44th, past 200th, but before the next lights, on the right, is a workshop with a weird (Honda powered) car and a hairy kiwi in it. There should be a bunch of FreeEMSers in that workshop on the evening of the 21st of November, including tuning app author, me, PCB designer, and 3 more users, possibly 1 or 2 cars running the system, too. Could be a good night to meet up and hang out :-) Draw their attention to this post, if you like. I can give them the exact address via PM.
