I consider this a jaw dropper.
I can't believe you just went ahead and actually did it.
It is hard to imagine that if you were going to make a production run of
these things, that I would not want to be included. I would like to see
some list mail generated on this project of yours. Somebody has to come up
with something bad to say and I want to hear what that is. The most likely
comment is, "why bother--all the Bentley ECU tests are easy to do and have
more information than you get from these LEDs."
This is totally irrelevant to the incredible direction you have taken this
project, but I would like to see all the information posted to one giant
slow-to-download page rather than have to click multiple locations on your
site to get the info.
My mind is boggled at first, but quickly I am thinking:
1) Are their any readings which you now have LEDs connected to which might
benefit from being connected to a LCD digital readout rather than the
cruder information one gets from LEDs? Many of the Bentley tests are
numerical information rather than simply on/off information.
2) If I elect to have you do one of these, can I send you my spare ECU and
have you do that part too?
