Looks great - how hard was it to assemble? I'm currently toying with ordering the kit from the US to put together over the xmas break.

That looks like you've done a good job there.

I never did get on that well with soldering, although I did design and build my own Oxygen senser based on a quad op-amp circuit. Grabbed the wrong end of the soldering iron a couple of times though

I looked into the MegaSquirt DIY kit, but I don't have a steady enough hand to do it myself*

Any ECU I buy is going to be pre-assembled

*I have some residual nerve damage from a diving accident, at times, I get really, really shaky hands - no, it's not the drink

Looks a good job there, well done.

I bought mine pre assembled from trigger wheels. I'm the same as Les, too fiddly for my 6'7" hands......

Cool Cool

Looking good mate

I found it quite a relaxing way to spend an evenining

Right about one thing though, those surface mount components are tiny

Fine with the soldering once I got into the grove, never swore once.....Most unusual for me

I have to say im really looking forward to getting my hands on a megajolt system to build. I seem to really enjoy soldering components together and hopefully have something working by the end of it.
