If that second curve works we should strongly consider moving to an s.bus or some other sort of composite channel input to keep the wiring simple. It would also pave the way for additional control settings via other rc channels since we could read as many channels as we want.

Pretty much all of the frsky receivers have s.bus outputs. Is s.bus readily available on your multiplex receivers too, Chris?

SO.... I'll hide in the shop and Play !!!

Did a bit more work on the e-pressure control - I have re-done the code to allow for a RC channel input to drive a curve - Just like the solenoid controller, while still having the underlying RPM driven pressure curve. What this means is that the engine rpm will drive the main curve but it can be manipulated on a curve mix just like the pressure controller. The RPM curve is the master though and will always increase as engine speed increases (on an exponential curve that's settable) Im hoping to test it out on the OS .37SZ just on the stock carb... If this works it would be a very simple install. Here is a video that might show it better.
