Here is our "after Christmas" project....
It is Austin Mini, classic old tiny car "from England", cheap one.
Engine is "stock" 1 liter inline 4 with Supercharger.
Runs on microrusEFI, wasted spark ignition and single-port injection.
Custom made 36-1 trigger wheel with VR.
Almost all used components are from scrap, except few electronic sensors, injector and fuel pump.
Original distributor and carburetor are "in the pile" ... (waiting for new chance)
First start was 29.12.2021 but first run was 30.12.2021.
Is not problem do wiring for me, but I don't know, how it works on MRE.
It is implemented in firmware .. ?
how to setup and test it .. ?
I need some (external) stepper driver ... ?
or it can be drive by MRE / TLE8888 directly ... ?
Just for reference.
Idle/stepper dialog is still too complicated.

All stepper-related PRs have been merged. Please try.
Don't forget to enable "useTLE8888 stepper" option in TLE8888 dialog.

We can try tune idle ...
and I have no idea, how MRE initialize idle stepper ..
It must be:
FULL OPEN ..and then almost close ..
or opposite ...
FULL CLOSE and then open little bit ..
??

Now we working on two injectors (siamese ports) on 5 port head.
We need full seq, so we have CAM sensor mounted in old distributor..

Just for record ... and infos for those users ...
who can make EFI on 5 port head ...
Now we have working car, without any major issues ...
Requierements:
- Crank and Cam sensors for full sequetional mode
- Big injectors - we have only 5ms time for squrit for each cylinder at 6trpm
- Correct Injector phase setup - it is most important setting for this setup
- Good fuel pump and lines - stock lines for carburetor is not enough for EFI
