Stan from Western Mass, USA.
I'm probably the oldest person in this group and I have loads of experience in varied disciplines required for a beta tester of this project.
Programming:
I have been writing code since my first FORTRAN program in 1976. I've written thousands of lines of code in everything from assembler to the latest Arduino IDE. I have computer hardware experience from 1980 to the ESP8266. I have a couple right in front of me now for some IOT projects. I'm not interested in writing code for this project though, I have enough on my plate.
Mechanics:
I have been working on engines since the early 1970s and did my first engine swap in a car when I was 17. I have a couple EFI conversions purchased from AliExpress, but I'm not happy with their closed systems or their choice of O2 sensors. I already own a couple wide-band O2 sensors for projects. I have done a couple 72cc GY6 big bore upgrades, including one with an 11 pole stator in preparation for EFI. I rebuild outdoor machines as a sideline for extra cash. Oh, I also have a MegaSquirt for an EFI conversion of my 1968 Fiat.
Other Skills:
I have been a machinist and own a lathe and small mill to customize parts as required. I own two welders, a plasma cutter and practically anything required to maintain cars, bike and tractors. I also own an old school oscilloscope and a digital one. (Useful for viewing the CDI trigger pulse if required.)
Goals:
My first project for Nano EFI would be for my 140cc GY6 based trike. This would include all sensors from TPS to wide band O2. Then I'd adapt it to one of my small GY6 engines, I have four besides my trike, each family member has one. After that I'd be interested in adapting it for use in small engines for outdoor machines, riding mowers, etc. These would probably be run with just TPS and RPM to keep costs down. I'd probably have to make my own throttle bodies for this since there aren't any open source products for that marketplace. The biggest issue would be providing enough power to handle the EFI fuel pump.
That covers a bunch of qualifications I have to be a beta tester.
