Hi Rusty,

I'm going to have to talk to Tracy about that.  I twisted his arm and
made him send me the instructions for modifying the PC board for the
new chips he's using.  (Didn't want to give up the EC2 in case I needed
it.)  I don't think I have any instructions for using autotune, so
maybe I'm not using it.  At one point I did flip over to the B
controller.  Engine didn't miss a beat.
