i’ve been looking around for a cheap windows laptop to monitor the new engine management system on the bus…

should be a giggle, enough to keep me out of trouble anyhow.

if i run a serial extension cable from the main ECU in the engine bay up into the cab i can drive along with a laptop on the passenger seat twiddling with the engine controls – just like in ‘fast and the furious’ – great 😉

along with all the mapping info and controls there is a realtime readout mode that looks like a flight sim control panel…

how cool is that ? it even does something useful too!

all in need in the bus now is heating….
