The new MAC are pretty much PC's these days, just more sexy and running OSX with the option of running running those more mainstream boring OS's. Guess Icehouse is going to need to purchase a decent usb to serial adapter though.

 

Kind of a funny peripheral if you think about it.

Not necessarily! You can install a bluetooth adapter in the MS ECU! Or a USB adapter in the ECU, so all you plug in is a USB cable!

 

MegaSquirt ROCKS!

Thats rather sweet and handy, serial is kinda shitty but still manages to be rather common :( I wonder if they use a FTDI, which makes a integrated chip like a FT232BM that will adapt about any connection up to any other like USB to parallel and USB to serial etc, and the are rather cheap chips to purchase.

yes we are still talking about megasquirt, and yes it does appear that folks use the FTDI chip to make interfacing your usb only modern laptop to a megasquirt rather easy. In fact I have wireless interface to RS232 adapter as well, it might be fun to try and tune the computer with no wires attached... hmm sounds like a project to try eventually. :D
