Hi Finn

I have a backup CAS that I was using with my EC2 way back and at one =
point it was working.
Its mounted 90 degrees anticlockwise from the standard Renesis CAS =
(looking at the CAS end of the engine)
Its not being used with the latest Closed Loop (autoprogram) code I have =
in my EC2 at present.
I can=E2=80=99t recall if thats because the BUSENSOR flag wasn=E2=80=99t =
set or internal code issues.
