In 2012 I made my own colour LCD adapted MPGuino using the original MPGuino I purchased from Meelis a few months earlier.
I later decided to adapt the project to a touch version and distribute it amongst some friends.
5 years later the units are still working as they did when they were first installed and I figure the idea is worth sharing further.

Always in development and looking for feedback, some fully functional units are available below. It features colour touch display with a
bluetooth module for use with the app also in development. The MPGuino fuel computer has a unique ability to measure fuel usage
with an accuracy unparalled by other fuel measuring devices. The waveform of the fuel injector is measured in microseconds to accurately
record fuel usage and produce useful information about fuel averages, distance to empty and instant economy. The MPGuino colour has also recently
been successfully installed onto a boat with fuel injected outboard motors for instant L/Hour readout for trimming cruise speeds and motor tilt.
If it's petrol and injected, it'll measure it.
The companion app for use with Bluetooth is available for Android.
