Has anyone used this? It's part of the Megasquirt project, so it's build-yourself. Search returned zilch. I'm considering possibly doing a conversion to a 60e or 80e, this will run either, along with a few other transmissions. I would be running it in my truck alongside the EBL.

From what I could see it seems the case is roughly 3"x5"x6".
Up to 8 forward speeds,
Full CAN pas-through configuration and monitoring/datalogging with TunerStudioMS,
Fully user configurable automatic or manual mode, with user tables for shift speeds and line pressures a based on speed and load,
switchable 16x9 load by speed by target gear tables (with user settable bins values) for automatic shifting,
Context sensitive help for all user parameters by pressing F1 button while in any menu in TunerStudioMS (while connected to the Internet),
User settable over and under-rev limiting (can be disabled if desired),
Speed in 0.1 mph (or kph) increments,
Odometer in 0.001 mile (kilometer) increments,
Full datalogging of speed, gear, odometer, line pressure, instantaneous fuel efficiency, converter slip, etc., etc.
Provisions for 'paddle' up and down shifter buttons on steering wheel with 'Shift Button Duration' for user settable sensitivity (debounce). The buttons can be separate grounding switches, or a variable voltage signal (that may be adaptable to your horn set-up).
User settable idle valve and ignition advance 'idle-up' adjustments when stopped in gear to prevent stalling,
User settable ignition timing retard for the duration of a shift (to lessen drive line shock, or chance of wheel spin, etc.).
User settable ignition retard when load is above a user specified threshold (for each forward gear above first),
Four LED indicators for current gear.
The LED pattern is user configurable, which may be useful for those wanting to implement a 7-segment LED/LCD display driver)
The LEDs or LCD display can be set to flash in reverse.
User configurable output and input patterns for up to 4 shift lever position inputs and up to 7 shift solenoid outputs (to adapt to many automatic transmissions - defaults are for GM 4L60E trans - the 4L80E settings are here). You directly set whether the solenoids are on or off in each gear:
User configurable PWM on all shift solenoid outputs,
User configurable PWM on TCC output, with user settable TCC PWM 'ramp-up' based on load to soften TCC apply,
User configurable 'Dither' (cleaning cycle) in addition to 16x9 PWM table for pressure control solenoid,
User configurable 'Refresh' on shift solenoid PWM outputs (allows running lower PWM percentages to reduce current draw and heat),
Adaptive load sensing interprets your driving style and adjusts shifts to reflect 'hard' or easy' driving.
TunerStudioMS display of shift button status, braking, gear, TCC status, speed, load, odometer, trans temperature, etc.
Built in code for a 0.5-4.5V line pressure sensor,
Configurable (pulse/mile) 12V square wave hardware speedometer output for electronic speedometers (you set the pulse per mile),
Two spare outputs that can be set by a user-specified combination of vehicle speed, engine rpm, load, or current gear (with user-set hysteresis to prevent rapidly cycling near the switch points). These can alternatively be used as additional shift solenoids, TCC control, PWM outputs, or 'clutch outputs' (i.e., active only during a shift) (Βeta code has three spare outputs, and the third output has a 16x9 PWM look-up table with user selected indices on both axes),
GM (3 digital inputs) or Ford style (varying voltage) shift lever determination. If the Ford style is used, the 2 inputs not used for shift lever position determination can be used for datalogging voltage signals (temperatures, TPS, MAP, etc.), OR one or both of them can be used as shift solenoids.
2/4WD speedometer scaling using a digital input,
CAN network to communicate with MS-II™/MicroSquirt®/Sequencer™ to improve control and avoid redundant sensors (with user parameters to allow use with non-B&G code),
Simultaneous monitoring, datalogging and controller configuration of both MS-II™ and MShift™ with a single laptop running TunerStudio via CAN pass-through (v2.000+ code)
