Message-ID: <151@zinfandel.UUCP> Date: Thu, 16-Aug-84 21:53:46 EDT Article-I.D.: zinfande.151 Posted: Thu Aug 16 21:53:46 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 19-Aug-84 01:17:32 EDT Organization: Zehntel Inc., Walnut Creek, CA Lines: 25 [ Just in case..] I am considering building a microprocessor based engine control (and instrumentation) system for my 1975 Toyota Cel- ica GT. (This particular car is beat up enough that I am not afraid of screwing around with it.) I am doing this as a learning experience. (My time would be much better spent working and saving the money for a new car if my only intent was a better car.) Has anyone out there done anything simi- lair? Can anyone recommend some books and magazines on this topic? (I am quite familiar with microprocessors and digi- tal electronics, and have an understanding of analog elec- tronics and automotive fundamentals.) If there is a maga- zine dedicated to or featuring lots of technical articles related to this subject I would like to subscribe to it. In general I would like to stimulate some discussion in net.auto on this subject. I have a book called "Understand- ing Automotive Electronics", published by the Texas Instru- ments Learning Center and available at Radio Shack ($3.95, I believe) that provides good background info - I DO recommend it to anyone else who is interested. Thanks in Advance, Michael Sean Gilligan
