   I'm using Megasquirt and I truly think it's the way to go. You don't need to learn C programming at all. It has an SDCard to catalog (black box). The user interface program is called "Tuner Studios". Mouse and a laptop to program your engine, very very user-friendly. You can also use your android with bluetooth to tune. The open source community of Mega squirt is amazing. It's more advanced then most car manufactures ECM.

   I'm actually going to develop a board with dual power supplies, that a mega squirt can plug into. Will also handle EGT's, Wide-band, and another handful of extra analog sensors onto of the mega squirt. Since I'm using GRT (another great open source company) for my EFIS, I send all the mega squirt data to appear on GRT screens. If Dynon, MGL, give me their serial protocol, I can port the data to those screens too.

I have been looking at megasquirt also. The support base is large. Much easier to learn how to configure it rather than learning how to develop a system from scratch. It will control ignition timing as well as fuel injection. I had originally planned on avoiding any electronics but that really isn't possible when the distributor is eliminated.

When the TTC was being set up with motec, I thought seriously about abandoning the rotary altogether. I couldn't believe that you had to get the factory reps to configure it. I couldn't see how I would be able to get through it.

After reading through some of the documentation and posts from people having problems and answers from the support group it now seems simple. As of right now I am leaning toward megasquirt. Would like to here from others who have experience with it
