[Diy_efi] PC-laptop based efi

[Matthew Richard Friesen]

Hi, i'm looking into the possibility of designing a efi control system that 
would run on a laptop. I think that it would be of the multi-port variety. In 
order to avoid windows-timing issues, i have been thinking of using dedicated 
microcontrollers to actually turn on and off the injector. Basically the PC 
would take in sensor inputs, and compute the required pulse width for the 
injectors, and send this to the microcontrollers, which would turn on the 
injector for the required duration at the correct time. Does anyone know any 
basic flaws in this design? I like it because it could provide a real-time 
user interface with the efi controller, so tunning, and diagnosing should be 
easier. Also, i think a laptop running the engine would just be cool! Any 
input would be greatly appreciated.
