+# 8Ch-EGT
+
+This is repository for 8-Channel EGT board. The board is meant to be used in conjuntion with aftermarker engine control units to 
+measure exhaust gas temperatures in invidual cylinders. The PCB is based on eight MAX31855 chips and STM32F103C8T6 based bluepill board.
+The sensors to be used with this need to be K-type EGT sensors with mini K-type thermocouple connectors.
+
+In order to program the bluepill, you will need FTDI breakout board and the code is meant to be used in Arduino IDE. The code should work
+with regular STM32 core for Arduino, but I had no luck programming it to the bluepill. But using this board manager, the code uploading
+works: http://dan.drown.org/stm32duino/package_STM32duino_index.json
+
+At this moment the code is unfinished and only capable of reading the EGT sensors. But it should be soon capable of sending data to
+speeduino by serial bus. Support for other ecus will be added using CAN bus.
