Speeduino with 4e-fte

I was wondering if anyone with a 4e-fte is running a speeduino for engine management.

Looking into the opensource project speeduino and seems to be a capable unit(will be using it with a teensy 3.5 or 4.1). I already have a few 54 pin plugs which are the same as the glanza ecu plug so I could make a plug and play version of it. Just wondering if anybody used it and found some flaws, is seems to be the same as the megasquirt 2 when it still was opensource. It does use the same software (tunner studio).

Only the software to tune it isn't opensource as far as I know, but since it is written in Java it is easy to reverse engineer and take a bit of inspiration of for an opensource version of tunner software :p. The limited 16x16 map could then be extended to a 20x20 version.

The arduino won't be able to support Java however.

So it'll just be good ol C if you wanted to run it.

I would love to code for an ECU. That would be cool.

I'm a embedded developer myself(C and CPP also some fundamental knowledge about PCB design etc. Very intresting base for developing an ecu).

The java bit is in reference to the tunning software which flashes the arduino(in my case a teensy). The tunning software itself is not opensource but due to the heavy use of java very easy to reverse engineer to the code. The code is however obfuscated and an annoyance to read(Nerd power kicking in).

If everything is stable it would be a very cheap piece of standalone tech. Making a pnp ecu may cost about 100-200 euros, maybe even be less. Currently the pnp connectors is 9 euros the teensy would be 25 to 30. The pcb and components would be the most expensive bits.

edit:
Due to the opensource hardware and maybe soon software it is possible to make custom things like a gauge with stepper motors and something similar to the apexi commander. Lot's of time required but would make for an epic spec glanza. Stepper motor gauges would make a very accurate gauge which also has the ability to self calibrate if the hardware is arranged correctly(sick startup sweeps are also possible which I would use to calibrate the gauges:cool: ).
