Re: Fw. improvement - PANIC BUTTON
The way I read this, there are two somewhat independent requests. 1. Hit button - get log event. This is a pretty common feature in a lot of software I use. The idea is a very sound one. Particularly in long datalogs, it's often hard to pick out the moment(s) of greatest interest. If you have a butt...

Bluetooth is a joke. Totally vulnerable to brute force plus the keyspace is tiny.

Re: EFI Part numbers and sources READ ME
Bosch LSU 4.9 Wideband sensors. Be very wary of ordering ebay/amazon/aliexpress for these sensors. They're very heavily counterfeited and copies often do not function as well as legitimate sensors.

Small suggestion: Use a ESP32 module instead of the one you have chosen. (it looks like HC06 maybe?) The ESP32 can do Bluetooth AND Wifi and is generally much more flexible.

They're SOP8 so easy to solder, very linear, good temperature characteristics, very high quality, generally a...

extra% vs CLT is very simple. works fine.
Some systems adjust the target lambda / eq mix. Some add %. As long as you're not trying to pass emissions you can be very crude.
