Mileage computer

Does anyone have a setup for mileage instant calculations in a OBD1 vehicle?

Re: Mileage computer

I found the MPguino for OBD1 vehicles on Ecomodder.com. I'll try to get a link.

Re: Mileage computer

ScannerPro has the calculation ability to allow it to work. Magnus has the $6E definition running it and I made one for $8D. in the S_AUJP V4 definition.
The only thing is that it doesn't see the actual PW that is hardware compensated by voltage. It works OK and seems to be roughly in line with my fill up to fill up numbers.

Re: Mileage computer

The thing that looks appealing about the IDuino is the cost. The whole thing will only run $40-$50. I've had problems with my old laptop for tunerpro and I'm not computer literate enough to feel confident playing with the EBL . This looks like a good alternative. I won't be able to reprogram, but I'll be able to monitor my driving tactics.
