Programming 101 from CSH HQ PART 1

[Bruce Plecan]

Before firing off letters, please wait a while, so any follow 
up information can take place.  I have a problem, that can
take me away from writting, and I may get short to close
a point.  
  
Well here we go.
  First, this is for educational purposes only.
  What I say here is just what others have told me.  I have
no formal training in electronics, or engineering, so it might
all be wrong, and I'd expect with the folks here I'll be corrected
  If someone tries these methods/information it would be for
Off-Road use only.  Various laws are in effect for modifing
vehicles, and maybe illegal.  It is you the reader to figure out the
laws in your area.  The training I have is vocational, auto repair.
 
OK, I have enlisted some really good software types, but can
use a few more.  If anyone wants this job it's their's for the asking.
So it's my way, ya got an idea e-mail me.  Find an error e-mail
me or post it.  I may say some things just to make life easy 
for the non-whatevers.  From a general understanding point
it don't matter if the reader starts at 000000, and stops at
FFF, or reads down from FFF to 000000,  OK.  If ya wanna
nitpic we'll never get anywhere...  
  We need people to do the following:
1.  Breadboard a EFI on a bench using ecms that are picked
     by the group.
2. Some volunteers who have a car/truck and can burn
    chips to test drive things, perferably with a scanner.
3. People who can/do visit recycling centers.
4. Parts trackers.
5. Thinkers, EE+ME, and folk who spin wrenches.
If ya wanna lurk fine, but when things get thick, remember
where you were when I asked for help which is what I'm
doing.
  As things stand right now, it looks like the 1227747, then
1227730, 1227165, Ford, and Foreign types.  If we get that 
far.  Without participation this is all a mute point..
  Ya wanna change the order, again e-mail me.
My reasons are as follows.
  747 easiest, but limited, if we can't do this we sure as hell
          can't do the next.  32K chip
  730 MAP, all code on chip, uses tables, 256K chip
  165 MAF, 128K chip.  Close decision from #2. Popularity
          wise. 
Ford,  with the above under our belts, then working on this
     one should be easier.  If someone has some shareware 
     about the ford system please start organizing it.
Foreign, basically Bosch (?).  Outta my league on this
      been years since doing Mag. Mar..  Need help with
      this also, anyone wanna take the lead, on this think
      about it.
If someone knows about electric shifting trannies, please
      organize some notes.  All I know of for a stand alone
      is the GM Diesel PCM. 
That Is All
