Ravage,Puma or DIY?

[gixxer-harry]

I realy want to get EFI for my bike and i like to build it over this winter
What board should i chose?
They all seams nice and i think that i can build one of them but witsh one is the best for getting on board of the freeEMS train?
I am not an electronics man but i am willing to learn,read and do the hard work

It comes down to time frame. You'll probably die before Puma Spin 2 is out. DIY is available right now as simis, em_knaps, Preston, Sean0 and I have all proved. RavAGE will be early next year one way or another and likely not very DIY friendly (just pay for a built board). I've got a few other ideas lined up, we'll see how things pan out.

Is there a way that i can buy a built Ravage board? i cant find it
If there is wat does it cost?
When is that ready?

I think the way to go is the TA board (thats the one a few people got the igition working i think)

Thought before ordering the AT board lets have a look at the freeEMS software
Well i must be an real idiot,i cant make it work on my win7 32 bit computer
I instaled python 2.3 , Python 2.6 ,wxPython and pywin 32
But none of the freeEMS programmes seams to work for me
Is there an idiot guide for insaling the software?

Where did you find the link pointing at the old tuner?

I just updated the two tuner repositories to reflect the current status of tuning FreeEMS.

MegaTunix has a windows installer, however it can't be used without a FreeEMS attached for the time being. You can load up MegaSquirt firmwares offline to get a feel for the application, though the settings and naming and functionality present should be ignored.

Re RavAGE, it'll be ready when it's ready. You can follow progress in its dedicated forum section if you're deeply interested. You can't buy any sort of RavAGE board yet, as they have not been manufactured yet. Costs are also, therefore, not determined yet.

TA has run one fuel only, two ignition only, and one full control engines.

Re software, it only serves the purpose of interacting with your engine, there isn't much use in playing with it before hand, really.
