Ecotec LS Coil Driver

I've just made up a quick google site for anyone wanting support, I've had a few people having trouble contacting me through here

Are these still available for purchase

Not at the moment sorry, I've decided to stop making them for now. I'll post here if I decide to make some more at some point.

I'll still be supporting those who bought them and posting app updates when necessary.

Small update. Have had an issue with the google developer account and it's been closed for some reason.

The app is still available from the site as an apk to sideload. https://sites.google.com/view/ecd-information

Will hopefully get this sorted soon

Could a few people convince you to put some more
Together?

I don't have as much time to support these as I used to. I might put together a simpler open source version later if people want to tinker.

For now I'm slowly working on a replacement to move from the bluetooth modules to wifi with a web interface. This will allow the existing ones to be used on more devices and no app necessary. Will update with more details when it's done.

I would definitely be after a ls coil driver if you remade

I don't know if it's possible but one feature that would be nice is to run as a standalone ignition module so the DFI can be done away with entirely.

That is what appealed to me with the original VL400 programmable module, one of the reasons being that most replacement DFI modules are garbage these days, especially the Delphi units, we personally had multiple new ones die in a few weeks to months after the OG AC Delco one lasting nearly 30 years. You can still get the genuine new AC ones that are Mexican from the USA, but they cost around that 200-400 AUD mark and they'll stop making them eventually too.

Getting good used DFIs are getting thin on the ground and I feel like something as useful and feature packed as this LS coil driver would benefit having standalone ability. I know it's a ton of work and might not be possible, but I can only make the suggestion.

Have thought about doing a ignition controller, but at that point it's getting closer to being a standalone ecu. Could just use something like rusefi or speeduino as an ignition only controller. I started to design for this but realised I may as well do a whole ecu. Haven't bothered yet though because theres the problem of auto control to get around.

The vl400 one still used the dfi for the 3 ignition outputs
