Wow, doesn't time fly! Its 2018 already.

CarbOnBal basic is well underway by now. I even made a wood (MDF) and plexiglass box for it that looks neat (or it should after I finish painting it) and is quite easy to make without expensive tools or materials. A hand saw, a drill and some screws is all. This sturdy box will protect the electronics and ensure the system can be used in real-world conditions by people wearing size 10 gloves at least. The tiny buttons have been replaced by nice big ones and color coded for ease of use (well, that was the way they were sold).

The battery management system has gone and so has the flammable LI-ION battery. Just a simple 9V block is all it really takes to tune carbs "ad nauseam". I'll add some power saving features to the software when I get it running just to eek out a couple more hours (or days).

The display has a piggy-back I2C adapter which is easy to assemble and disassemble should you ever need to dig around inside the box. 

I'll take a couple of photos soon and post them on the project site.

I'm taking this reduce to the max thing seriously and I hope to have the first 'basic' version available and documented in time for the northern hemisphere's riding season!

Good things are coming your way.. Hang in there!
