Re: Letting go of the "MegaSquirt mindset" (hardware)
Medical stuff do not use lead..(UK&US)
As regards military stuff it is being phased out...
Like the UK smoking ban it all comes under the jurisdiction of the Health & Safety Executive...

Eurocard is a standard format, not a size per sec.

You should always use lead free products as lead is banned and for very good reasons...

Re: MAP sensor circuit
Post the details! Provided they are linear, accurate and 5V it doesn't matter to me :-) Any can be supported in software. How hard to get are the bosch ones though? If you provide a part number I'll tell you if I can get them here and NZ, if not, the freescale might be the best choice just for avai...

Re: Free Hardware by Richard Stallman (author of GPL & GCC etc)
Patent Law is quite strange in many respects. Patents granted in the US of A are not enforcable in the UK or Euroland. B&G do not have any enforcable patents. Patents and IP are a rich man's sport, from both sides. Copyright is also fraught, with music the main area of usefulness. Have YOU been ...

Re: Connector considerations
The simple rule here is what do the connector manufactures sell to the ECU manufactures.... They will have evaluated this many time, in fact connector manufactures are commissioned by ECU manufactures. The Bosch 55pin connector is made by AMP. If cost is a consideration use a second user ECU, and cu...

Re: Connector considerations
Some other benefits include scalability. If you don't have a connection, you don't need to put it in. My snow blower isn't going to use 37 pins. However, I'm also sure there are folks that need more then 37 pins. Some other thoughts, the power and inductive loaded devices should have a connector th...
