Other functionality they will or may be implementaion are PID based idle stabilization, EGT sensor support, Fuel trim maps for compensation intake air temp or fuel temp, HDK actuator support, as well as Cruise and traction control. This open source ECU currently support the following features: Hardware schematics have not been released yet. Configuration is done with text-based interface using serial connection over USB port. The latest source code is available for download (), and can be uploaded to the board via the Arduino IDE. The ECU is based on an Arduino Mega board with a 8-bit AVR MCU 16MHz.

The system works with diesel engines with Bosch VP37 pumps, and it has been used successfully since 2012. Many people already control motors with Arduino boards, they just happen to be electric motor, and not diesel motor. If you buy a diesel engine without ECU (Engine Control Unit), what would you do? If you’re a hacker like synkooppi, you might just decide to design your own ECU with an Arduino, open source the code, and provide some documentation on your site.
