Awesome Gampy;
I needed a good laugh.

I love it

Shoot yeah Gampy My first aldl in the early 90's was all jumpers and transistors, I wish I had a picture, lol

Getting end plates cut now and saving up money for all the components and enclosures, etc, to build 100. Not a whole lot of profit and if I would have found something reasonably priced I wouldn't have built all the cables I have over the years, lol. Man, at least 50 iterations on paper and my 6th round of proto boards but I really like it now

The tool looks great. Well done! I dont think the short connector is a problem, as whatever cable you plug it in to for the pc side of the interface will have enough length to run in the car so I think its right to have a shorter cable on the bench side.

Thanks antus,
I can't wait to get you guys some samples to try and kill in the field. Shoot, we car guys can let the smoke out of almost anything so I'm hoping I built enough "safety" into this thing that it will never happen, even if you cross the battery or hook up wrong. That's why we test though. I'm hoping a nice stable bench environment will induce more people that can help with programming and don't want to hunt the junkyard for a connector.

I have a love/hate for the junkyard. I hate to kill a day on the hunt, but what I hate more is leaving the junkyard with a lot of stuff and they didn't have what I really wanted.

Hello All,
I haven't been internet savvy in quite some time. When this thing gets done I also have some other products I have in my head.

I am asking if you guys/gals know of an easier way to make a website that I can sell from. The sell part seems to be fairly easy but I want to be able to update it myself. I want to be able to upload pics and new products as well as free downloads of tuning files and instruction files. I plan to do alot of free stuff.

Btw, I'll pay somebody who knows and can help

i assume the other side of that interface has alot of parts on it ? seems too simple otherwise ?

[antus]

Its bench power and data switching, not an interface, so that looks right to me. A number of switches, and some protection components / regulators to make sure you dont accidentally blow anything up.

Here is my current setup.

Hi all:

Darkman5001, does the speaker box contain any drivers in it?
If so, I can't imagine they are doing those hard drives any good!
Other than that, awesome setup!
