V4 board suggestions

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the note, and that's great about your project! I know of a few projects like this, with varying levels of features and sophistication.

As before, the next version of the MJLJ will be a stand-alone, ignition-only controller. It won't be Lite nor Junior- so there will be no 'V4' MJLJ, per se. Specs and features on the new controller will be forthcoming, but I think people will be quite impressed!

Regards,

would Bluetooth be a suitable method of connectivity?

Most laptops seem to have Bluetooth as do most phones these days.

Probably quite difficult to implement... sort of thinking out loud there

Yes, bluetooth would be pretty cool- but those modules are pretty pricey. It would have to be an add on that could be plugged into a main board.

I was just thinking how cool it would be, as I have just got a usb Bluetooth2 dongle for about £3.50 sterling to communicate with my phone.

For EMC immunity, I was thinking of a pretty serious metal box for my project. If it's any good at keeping radio waves out, it will keep the bluetooth in
