You could but the AC will rob tons of pwer

 

anyone got answers to my questions? how can I source one of those 'traditional' switches? Even if I do, will it's inputs match up w/ my thermistor's outputs?

haha, the AC thing will work, but the idea of this is to MAKE power... plus doesn't the ect have a more rich map for when the A/C is on? (thereby making it an even worse solution, given what I am trying to do)

 

a. Not sure if you can. Just use two switch. One to switch in the resistor for the coolanr sensor and one to manually turn the fan on.

b. One side of the side is connected to ground. The other side is pull-up to battery via relay\switch. All you need to do is connect a switch to battery to this side of the fan and you can manually turn the fan on\off.

Nada did some testing and it looks like 307 ohm in place of the sensor would be good.

 

Anybody else done this already? what are the results?

 

guess I'll do that, use a 307 and switches since radioshack sucks and I can't get the pot.'s I need and such.

 

can someone find out the voltage that goes to the fan though? I don't just want to wire 12V to it if that's not what it takes.

 

Why would Buschur use 210 ohms?? in your readings doesn't that correlate to like over 200 degrees? his is red,brown,brown,gold... thats 210 right?

you use his by unplugging the sensor plug, and inserting one end of the "chip" into one lead on the plug and the other end into the other side of the plug.. is that how you used your 307ohm resistor?

 

It really shouldn't bother me but it does. There are those of us that solve a problem and those of us that copy it.

JUST SELL US THE CHIP!!!!!!!!!!

 

FREAKING EXACTLY!!!, IT'S NOT OUR FAULT. WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO MAKE THE PROFIT?!

 

hummmm, I don't think he wants to sell it...

 

ah well, finished my advanced version yesterday, I can switch to "race mode" w/ the flip of a switch, all including a warning light to tell me its on and it turns on the cooling fan so that I dont overheat too.

 

just ordered 100 210ohm 1/4 watt metal film +/- 1% resistors lets see how they work.

 

That's weird, I actually called and placed an order a few weeks ago and have it. Have you guys tried buying them, all that they asked is if I was flashed which I am going to be

 

BINGO... that's the rub, you gotta have THEIR flash... I have a dynoflash... It still just doesn't make sense to me why you either wouldnt sell it and make a profit, or make a formal explanation as to why you wont sell it w/o the flash (ie: it will blow your car up)

Ah well, don't care now, its as easy as a flick of a switch for me now (plus the fan turns on still)
