IEBus Controller is now on Sourceforge!

Posted by angrycamel at February 26th, 2008

I have put the firmware on sourceforge.net under a project aptly named, IEBus Controller. Its getting to the point where I cannot work on it enough nor make enough progress to warrant keeping it all to myself. This doesn’t mean that I wont be working on the project, but it does mean that I welcome anyone who is willing to help out in making this project a reality.

I decided to do this when I realized that a couple others are working on their own versions of the project and repeating work that I had already done. It’s simply not fair for me to hold out on my progress. I was hoping to get everything perfect then release it all at once, but I think at this point its best that I get more people in the trenches with me to help figure out the problems.

So checkout the project page over at the Sourceforge project page. There is no release just yet, but those wishing to work on the project with me should pull down the latest from the Subversion server. If you send me a message, I can give you access as a developer so that you can commit changes. You will need an account with Sourceforge.net in order for this to work. Also, I suggest tortoiseSVN, it has shell integration and has been very easy for a novice SVN user, like myself, to get used to.

IEBus Controller Prototype Board

Posted by angrycamel at February 23rd, 2008

I just finished putting together the prototype board with the relays all working as they should be. Its a nasty looking beast of a prototype board but its working. I will be testing out the features of switching the video and disabling the IEBus signal from reaching the navigation computer while in “PC” mode tomorrow afternoon. For now I have posted some pictures of the board below. Enjoy!

Powered PnP Install Diagram of Dom’s Video Converter

Posted by angrycamel at February 7th, 2008

Here is a diagram that I put together to show how I used both the 20 pin and the 8 pin (C) connector together to form a completely plug and playable solution for Dom’s video converter box.

(Both plug N play harnesses featured in this diagram are available for sale through this website. Email robbienewton (at) gmail (dot) com if you are interested)
