Forgive my inexperience, but setting this up without using a patched rom would only allow for the car to switch between a main and alt map rather than interpolate between a mixture of maps, correct?

That is correct. No scaling at all like the patched roms. Just will simply switch maps once the output goes above the preset voltage trigger

yes. copy and paste it. If you dont have the library, it should give you a error of which one you need. but these are the 3 library's you will need.

Thanks for the clarification. Did you happen to try this with the FreeFuel patch at all?

Cool thanks for posting this! I can't believe I missed this thread. It's well written and easy to follow. I already have a couple things on the list, so the most difficult thing for me will be plumbing up the fuel lines.

Did you come up with the code yourself?

i found the some of the code a long time ago. Made some changes to it and set it up to be able to display out to a 16x2 display.

Haha yeah it seems a bit tedious, but I think I'm going to try it out. I was able to to at least apply the patch to a fresh rom and I'll start porting over my current rom settings and see how things go.
