robertspark, Thank you for the feedback, when I looked a little more into it the hardware and processor firmware does appear to be copyrighted. although I understand everyone needs to make ends meets this doesn't seem very in the spirit of open source. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and buy a kit. Thank you

First off, FridgeFreezer that is a brilliant analogy I will be making the PCB design available to everyone as soon as I double check there is no legal issue (I doubt there is but best to check). All very good points perhaps I will leave the V2 daughter board for now until some sort of need arises, just means I can save even more cash. Red90 you're right I could easily buy a kit for what I want but to be honest I'm a bit cheap so if I can get away with doing something myself I will always give it a go :-) plus I get to learn lots more too.

Hello All, I am in the process of rebuilding a MK3 Ford Capri and fitting a 4.6L rover v8, I have read many articles and forums threads on Megasquirting and think I now roughly understand what I need and what I need to do (I know I probably could have posted this on a Megasquirt forum but when it comes to the rover lumps you guys seem really on the ball ). So if you will indulge me I will explain what I was thinking then if you guy could help me find the problems I have probably overlooked that would be great. •The Megasquirt v2.2 mainboard (seems odd not to use v3.0 I know but I have a reason, sort of). •The V2 daughter board CPU (I know many are fond of the V1 CPU but the increased speed and resolution seems too good to pass up). •Ford EDIS and the usual high impedance injectors. •PWM Idle valve. •Launch control would be lovely but its not a deal breaker. I have been involved in hobby electronics for a while and while researching all the mega squirt stuff I found out about the V2.2 main board although considered out dated now it is very simple and I think provides all the features I need. Plus I was able to redesign the PCB and make it about half the size and a quarter of the cost of a retail kit. All comments and criticisms welcome, Thank you in advanced
