MPGuino (Arduino for Car MPG)

August 2009

This is an Arduino microcontroller that I wired into my car’s ECU and programmed to calculate the instantaneous/average miles per gallon of my 2002 Honda Civic. The circuit reads pulses from the Vehicle Speed Sensor and Fuel Injector wires. It is wired into my car via a USB cable. It’s pretty accurate once calibrated.
