+# EFI DLA Driver
+
+This driver implements support for the DLA EFI serial protocol for
+this system:
+
+https://www.austars-model.com/dla-232cc-uavuas-engine-optional-one-key-startauto-startergenerator_g17937.html
+
+# Parameters
+
+The script used the following parameters:
+
+## EFI_DFA_ENABLE
+
+this must be set to 1 to enable the driver
+
+## EFI_DFA_LPS
+
+This sets the fuel consumption rate in litres per second of injector
+time. This will need to be tuned per engine to give the right value
+for fuel usage and total fuel
+
+# Operation
+
+This driver should be loaded by placing the lua script in the
+APM/SCRIPTS directory on the microSD card, which can be done either
+directly or via MAVFTP. The following key parameters should be set:
+
+ - SCR_ENABLE should be set to 1
+ - EFI_TYPE should be set to 7
+ - EFI_DFA_ENABLE should be set to 1
+ - SERIALn_PROTOCOL should be set to 28 for the connected EFI serial
+ - RPM_TYPE1 should be set to 3
+ - ICE_ENABLE should be set to 1
+
+then the flight controller should rebooted and parameters should be
+refreshed.
+
+Once loaded the EFI_DLA parameters will appear and should be set
+according to the parameter list above.
+
+The GCS will receive EFI_STATUS MAVLink messages which includes RPM,
+cylinder head temperature, injection timing, engine load, fuel
+consumption rate, throttle position atmospheric pressure and ECU
+voltage.
+
+Note that this EFI system only sends data when the enable PWM enable
+signal is high. If that is hooked to the ignition control in ArduPilot
+ICE system then you won't see any data until you start the engine.
+
+
