Atmel 8535 for engine management - Genesis

I just read this post and was amazed, as I am using the same AVR 8535 unit 
for a very similar data-logging/FCD/AFC/etc project I'm making for my 
GT-Four.  As you can see, I also live in Perth.  You may remember I sent 
you a private email a couple of weeks ago introducing myself.

>From the looks of it, my project isn't quite as extensive as yours (I'm not 
looking at replacing the ECU, just logging sensor data and providing some 
extra functions like controlling water injection, extra injectors, etc), 
but there are many similarities.

I would be most interested in sharing some ideas with you and maybe meeting 
up in person at some stage (and possibly with Mike too).

I work as a software developer and so the software side of things is my 
real strength - and the hardware side is NOT.  I will be writing 
data-logging software for PC, PalmPilot and probably WinCE OS's.  There are 
a few other people helping out with my project, and we're hoping to 
generate things like estimated real-time torque/hp curves.

Info on my project can be found at http://web.one.net.au/~gtfour/redbox/

Cheers,
Adrian
