Hey, just want to start asking what people think of this kit I'm building.
The purpose is to give full control over the electronics in the car.
First test vehicle was my 91 CRX whos harness had been cut to ****.

You can see it on Instagram @autosurgeon

Anyone decent at making apps with Bluetooth and or someone who understands c++ coding?
I want to add controls for everything in the car. As well as inputs. Currently anything that is a toggle or latch works (door locks, window up/down, lights, ect.)
The output boxes can control up to 7amps and can PWM some of the pins (average the voltage between 0V - battery (12)V
I have had the PCBs designed and printed so you can see it working in my CRX via Instagram.
Ill see if i can get the video here.

Theory of the Kit:
Reduce the wiring of the kit to a common data wire.
Reduce the requirement for fuse boxes and circuit complexity
Individual control of electronics
Custom Lighting settings
Auto functions
Bluetooth control for electronics
Bluetooth diagnostics for electrical components
Simple setup and modification

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hey man,
I am a software engineer for a living. Hit my DMs and let me know what you are looking for support wise, we might be able to work something out.

 

I guess some more comments about the kit.
Currently supports sequencing of 10 lights for a turn signal. Think of the turn on mustangs, you just have the option to do up to 9 different lights in sequence.
Turn flashes per minute 60-120 (US Law)
You can set lights as Running/Turn (Tacoma Front)
You can set lights as Brake/Turn (Jeep Rear)
Set number of regular brake flashes
Set number of 3rd brake flashes
Set number of Reverse flashes
Set number of minimum Turn signal flashes
Fog lights to come on with turn signals
Low/High to go off with turn signals
Auto low with time of day. If the car is on while its passing the set value say 630, your low lights come on automatically even if the switch is not on.

 

nice points to mention

 

Nice project! Like a writing residency personal statement I am a reflection of the creativity and ingenuity of my designers. I am a testament to the power of collaboration and the ability of human beings to push the boundaries of what is possible. With my advanced features and unparalleled functionality, I am poised to revolutionize the world of engineering and usher in a new era of technological progress. In conclusion, as a programmable chassis harness project, I represent the pinnacle of modern engineering. With my advanced features and unparalleled functionality, I am poised to revolutionize the world of engineering and usher in a new era of technological progress. Just like a residency personal statement, I am unique, tailored to the needs of each individual project, and reflective of the creativity and ingenuity of my designers. So if you're looking for a cutting-edge solution for your next project, look no further than me, the programmable chassis harness project.

 

A programmable chassis harness project refers to a project that involves designing and building a wiring harness for a vehicle that can be programmed to control various systems in the vehicle. This can include controlling the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and other systems.

The idea behind a programmable chassis harness is to create a flexible and customizable system that can be adapted to different vehicle configurations and performance requirements. By using a programmable system, it is possible to fine-tune the performance of a vehicle for specific applications, such as racing or off-roading.

Building a programmable chassis harness project requires a good understanding of electrical engineering, programming, and automotive systems. It also requires access to specialized tools and equipment, as well as the ability to design and fabricate custom wiring harnesses.

Overall, a programmable chassis harness project can be a challenging but rewarding project for those interested in automotive technology and performance tuning. It offers the potential to create a highly customized and high-performance vehicle that can be tailored to specific needs and requirements.

 

Thank you for describing everything in detail.

 

Ill dig this one up because it is not dead.
Currently the project is functioning in 3 vehicles: 91 CRX, 95 Integra and a go kart.

I am in the process of switching the communication over to the CAN bus so that it can interface with everything else.
This is taking some time due to having to figure out how to address everything in a way that is would be plug and play but not cause address conflicts.
I am considering making all the devices the same address and then delegate the messages with a second ID in the message so that they all can react to every message for the system.

I am also gonna make a github project due to making it open source.

Ill post picture when i unpack.

 

Seems like this is the same functionality as a PDM. Its cool to see that you were able to create a system that offers user customizable functionality. I bet you learned a ton of stuff doing it.

 

I've learned a LOT!
Mostly having how to program an Android app.
Still need to dive into CAN communication more. I built my own data protocol to begin with for proof of concept but now it seams logical to interface with everything.
I had the circuit boards designed on Fiverr so that saved me learning that entire portion of information.

I want to keep it simple in the fact anyone else can build and expand the system so that is where the Arduino brain seamed logical.
I also wanted to move away from just wire and selected the Ethernet because its cheep and easy. multiple twisted pairs, can carry power, just made sense.

Now that the holidays are over i can finally start unpacking so i can continue.
While moving I went down a rabbit hole of ECU communication and the Raspberry PI......

The final goal of the system is to have a user buildable PDM that is a plug and playish but allow anyone else to customize the firmware due to being programmed in c++
Speeduino is where the idea originated. I just haven't found a truly comparable body control system that compares to their vision.
While there are some systems, there opensourceness is lacking.
Also, most systems out there are single point of control. The current software supports thermotical 255 boxes that can be address / controlled

I've thought about exposing a GitHub for the current setup. If anyone is interested, let me know
