Been using the blue filter for a couple of weeks now and its working out nicely.

After sounding the original horn at a driver encroaching on my lane to no avail my wife asked me to upgrade the horn. Today at O'Reilly's for other reasons I noticed the Wolo 320-2T, which I now see others have installed. What drove me to buy them today was that I noticed the word FIAMM molded...

Yep. Everything I have that is 12v (13.8) is supplied with powerpoles (its a ham radio thing). There is now a link to the image and that seems to work. And the same to you

I had thought I had deleted that post since I could not get the image to display. Still cannot figure out how to delete the post and don't have the time to reduce the image size. I'll try again later. What it is is a OBD connector to powerpole. I use this since my JTAG programmer doesn't supply...

Yet another way to power a SOCMeter while on the bench https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/jQakdTn36gbtHSmoXdcG6g?feat=directlink The red/black connectors are powerpoles, all my 12v (13.8v) equipment have them. Too bad one still needs to open the project box in order to reprogram.

I'm not sure what they use at the dealership, but I was unable to figure out a way to tighten the jack nut enough. So, like everyone that replied, I've just dropped the organizer in the trunk area and it seems to be doing just fine. Carl

I liked the looks of the Nissan cargo organizer so I ordered one and this morning went to install it. Three pages of instructions but it looked simple enough. At least until I ran into a slight problem with the kit parts. Part of the install is to thread a supplied bolt through a bar, also...

There will be a data logging port. The hole has been cut and the connector is a force fit in the hole. I just need to find some hardware, screws and nuts. There is a lack of old PCs or boards I can raid both at home and here at the San Jose Techshop. Carl

Finally found some time to work on assembling my meter. Hit a, very minor, snag. I had Gary cut the hole for the display. Nice rounded corners, straight lines everywhere, much better then I'd ever do. Turns out the display would not fit in the hole. We had rounded corners and a square display...

Got a update to this saga It took the dealer two trips to the DMV but the third registration card I got had a motive power of E and the Clean Air Vehicle stickers were included. Then about 2 months ago some group called "Business Partners Automation Program" got involved. They noticed a error...

9/32 was my guess Just looked and yes it was there. And, on my 3rd attempt, I have a correctly scaled template. Finally found a printer that allowed me to turn off any 'scale to fit'.

Here I am at the San Jose TechShop all ready to drill out the enclosure and come to find out the no printer I try will print the template to scale. About ready to pack it in when I finally find a pencil to mark the box (nothing I had would make marks that were visible). Got the holes for the...

Had not thought to mount it from the outside. Sure it would be ugly to have the flange on the outside, but that would hide any mistakes made in making the cutout (which would need to be slightly larger to take the shell of the male connector if mounted from the inside). I'd have no problem...

If you have a template with space for a DB-9 for logging I'm more then willing to give it a try (I have yet to start on building my meter). Besides cutting and filing to make the proper hole for the DB9 it looks as if one would need to gouge out the ribs from the inside of the box. (and this...

Just finished flashing gascant's SOCMeter with the PGM-00012 (This is actually a OLIMEX AVR-JTAG-USB programmer) and am just checking in to report success. I used avrdude version 5.4-arduino, but just about any version of avrdude will support this unit. The "-c" option was jtag1 The baud rate...
