Well it's what I've been after since switching over to using CDI... what was holding me back from making it public is the security of the source code, not so much to stop you guys from having a look, but from someone else using it for profit... I don't need to make any money on these, just doing it for myself and the hobby... RCxl, and CH, both are more than capable, based on the complexity of thier milti-cyl radial cdi systems, so I have no worries or concerns with them... it's more about protecting the time spent on developing it... we have away of dealing with that figured out, so the code won't be acessible for the timing side of things... the programmer all it does is reorder and update the lookup table based on your selected ign points, so there's nothing proprietary happing there, nor with the rx channel data / sbus2... potting the electronics for the same reasons, plus vibration protection that's where most of the added weight is... sorry, but I have thought this through for quite some time, and there is so much disregard / disrespect for others in this world these days, I'm not going to just give it away as open source, after spending nearly 4 years on and off, with the help of others involved as well.

Again, this is nothing directed towards you guys, just the world as a whole... I'm sure overseas, there are more than capable individuals to figure it out, but let them figure it out by themselves.
