• chipKIT Uno32 (32-bits Arduino clone), I'm using a chipKIT since I don't know much about eletronics, that was the easiest choice Link to RobotShop
• 4d Systems µLCD-32PT(SGC) LCD screen (3.2") Link to RobotShop
• SparkFun I2C to UART board (since there is not enough UART port on the chipKIT) Link to SparkFun
• DFRboot Bluetooth adapter Link to RobotShop
• Lithium Backpack Link to LiquidWare

• C++ with the ChipKIT libraries, using rei-vilo library to communicate with the LCD and the Megasquirt class for the most part come from David Irvine. Gauge/Histogram/BarGraph/Main sketch/etc made by me.

Right now, the product is pretty basic so a lot of stuff is hard coded to work for my specific setup. To make it work for your setup, you will more then likely have to modify a few things. First, you need to download MPIDE. After that, you have to alter the value of RX_BUFFER_SIZE in HardwareSerial.h in the main chipKIT class because some Megasquirt Firmware send more then the default RX_BUFFER_SIZE value when replying to the "A" serial command. I modified mine as follow:

#define RX_BUFFER_SIZE 512

Latest current Megasquirt 3 firmware send about 403 bytes so this should be enough for a while with new firmware. Eventually, MPIDE should allow a project file in the sketch directory so we won't have to do this. Once this is done, most configuration that you will need to do should be in Megasquirt.h. MS_TABLE_LENGTH is the length in bytes of the "A" reply from Megasquirt for the specific firmware you're using. MS_BAUD_RATE is 9600 for Megasquirt I and 115200 for Megasquirt II and III. USE_BLUETOOTH is set to true if you're using bluetooth (so the device will send proper AT command for pairing and connecting), false if you're using a RS232 to UART adapter. BLUETOOTH_PIN_CODE_1 is the PIN code of the bluetooth adapter on the Megasquirt and BLUETOOTH_MS_ADDRESS_1 is the address of the adapter.
