I think most people have probably heard about the work Hugo has been doing...see if this interests you 
A lot have been going on this week-end. I'm now done with the design of the PCB. I should be getting the board ready to be assembled beginning of next week. After that I need probably two or three weeks for assembling the boards, final tests and fine tuning. Here's the final feature of the products:
- Up/Down shift button on the steering wheel
- A big red or green digit to display the speed selected
- RPM input to prevent accidental downshift pass a certain RPM
- Possibility to go engage lockup as a "5th" speed. This feature is only for 2G since 1G don't have lockup.
- New feature : a potentiometer to control the pressure for the down/up shift. So you will have the possibility to control the pressure for gear change as some of you express their concern by having always full pressure on daily driver usage.
- Possibility to switch from the stock TCU and the TCUGO by a flip of a switch.
- Shift light based on a certain RPM.
- Drive "D" input so the TCUGO will display 0 when not in Drive and keep the previous gear in memory.
Also, for those of you who are more hard core and don't give a $#@! about the lockup , the output can be used for some nitrous control, as somebody ask be to turn this output off when shifting to stop the nitrous between shift. Just to say that we have the possibility to use some input/output for something else on custom application. The price should stay the same, but be prepare for little jump since the added new stuff and the fact that I've pretty much redesign all the thing. But I will try to keep the price as low as possible and meet my previous target.
