Consult interfaces (with proper consult connector)

[NewKleer]

Neo_R34's has been sent out today. started on 8 more, about 10% done atm, ill keep 2nd post updated on progress. anyone else interested let me know (here or pm) and ill add you to list.

[NewKleer]

ive almost finished the next 8. 7 of them have been tested, and just require the consult connector to be added, and place in box (with lid drilled for led).

webber, bless_you and maximumrpm, ive sent u all a pm.

[NewKleer]

by the way, this will be the last lot for a while (uni assignments/exams coming up) - at least till july. then ill also be looking into making custom pcb so that i can make a kit for others to put together themselves, to save me time (and theyd cost less obviously for u to put together yourself)

they take too long for me to do them all, especially when i have more exciting things to move on to (including pocketpc consult software).

Just in case people are interested. I got mine and it works beautifully.

nate's is completed and sent off today.

3 more almost completed (10mins to finish each off, just add consult connector) and 4 more need box drilled + connector. updated second post.

[NewKleer]

anyone else for one?

how hard is the diy kit.. and how much for the parts

[NewKleer]

currently pretty hard cause the only instructions/layout id have for it on an excel spreadsheet (ive attached a pic of the spreadsheet just if u want to see for urself what im working with atm. the pcb has two lines on the left, with 18 rows across of 4 holes each (seperated by the width of the ICs).

custom pcb would definitely need much easier, would just be much "cleaner"/easier to put together...but id still need to design that and find out how much itd cost

id imagine the kit would hopefully be around the 40$ region, depends on the custom pcb and how confident id be if i got x custom pcbs made that theyd all be used.

[Mr GTS4]

how about i just get some money and you can make one up for me. lol

[NewKleer]

yer, thats probably easiest right now

my last exam i think is june 22, so ill aim to look into custom pcb then

[elbee111]

Would be interested if you ever get a kit together. Please advise when(if) this happens.

All the best for your exams etc.

[bless_you]

just to say that i got mine and it works great

Make sure you get the consult software too, i tried all the others and they suck...

Thanks Pete

[Mr GTS4]

please pm me when you are ready to make some more.. put me down for one

[Bobby^]

You keen to send to NZ? i'm very interested, and i know some others who may be interested.

please pm me when you are ready to make some more.. put me down for one

uve got 4 more which are close to completion...might be able to finish them on wed. i can put u next on the list?

unless u mean u cant afford it now but in the future?

are you aware of the guy making them in nz? might be easier for you to get one from him?

edit: box 1 and 3 sold

i also have 3 imperfect/test boxes which are available if anyone wants one for cheaper. note i cant guarantee all of them will dump entire rom (or other extended operations, but less chance of that) without hanging. im pretty sure the first two can (but havent been able to get box3 to yet), but cant actually remember so assume it cant.

box 1: 3 leds (power, transmit/receive), larger box, short cable to proper consult plug (~50cm) and serial plug on box. some serial cables may not fully insert (but still connect...my normal serial cable is fine, but the usb-serial converter, which is fatter, doesnt go in all the way due to other connector on side of it) $35

box 2: no leds (not even power), 50cm to serial plug, 170cm to wires for consult port - no consult plug. need to watch connectors dont break. $15

box 3: one of the boxes i was making in this thread, perhaps due to imperfect component somewhere (dont have time to check/replace everything), i havent been able to dump full rom with it. 50/170cm cable lengths or there abouts, with consult plug. $35

heres the first two:

box2 youd need to be able to hook it up to consult port yourself. this is around or less than cost of components to make them (consult plug itself is half the cost), with the only real downside being possible hanging with long operations (typically rom dumping...potentially normal data logging/viewing/gauges etc could hang, but not much chance of it). i have no real need for them, so thought someone who wants one for cheap that isnt interested in rom dumping might be interested. pickup preferred so u can see it working, but given they are so cheap, cant really afford to provide any assisstance with them.

Update:

Sold two of the test interfaces, only have the 2nd with above, the one without consult plug. Turned out the box3 dumped a full rom without problems to the guy who bought it.

Have completed 2 of the last 3 interfaces, and sent pms to the first two on the waiting list. Once these last 3 have sold ill look into getting custom pcb done to be able to make a kit for around the $40-45 mark that u put together yourself.

Hey pete...

Still got any? or How hard is it to build one yourself? Given the instructions?

Your still at UTS?
