^^^Is this the only line of code that needs to be edited if I want my output to the ecu to remain in Hz? Thanks for the assistance!
any reason u want it to output hz?

Anyone willing to situate the wiring for me LOL. are we soldering? tapping into pin outs? I haven't even pulled my ECU from the car, so no clue on what I'd be doing.

Awesome. If i can actually see what to look for (how-to is a bonus), I will be doing this. Seems silly not to.

I did heat shrink and tap in pins for testing, planning to solder for the final product that goes in the car but I dont see why it wouldnt work, Ill post some pics of my very ROUGH work.

I am fine with mechanical stuff. I have to admit that is a bit intimidating.. .especially since I'm afraid I'll fry something

Have you wired up a gauge before

I've had mine up and running for awhile, only issue is out of the car the readings are fine, but in the car my temp values are nonsensical and jump around while the ethanol % is pretty stable but will sometimes jump to random numbers.

It's odd because the function all seems to be fine, even verified against the test tube method, but something in the car is causing it to go haywire. Even switched to a shielded wire for signal from the sensor

if u have the unit plugged into your laptop, you will have to ground the arduino to the car

I had it hooked up to my laptop but I grounded it on the negative cable on the power booster I was using to power the sensor. Touched it to the usb metal casing like previously said.

Why is this by the way, whats different then if I have it plugged into my USB on my head unit?

Any other ideas why its not working?
