Andreas' Jaguar .7 alpha for Karmann Ghia
Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2018 1:16 am
I need to get this going. Most of the car's mechanical stuff is together. It is now a matter of getting the Jaguar board hooked up so I can get the engine running.
I needed advice on wire strain relief. I planned on soldering wires from the board and using spade connectors near the components/sensors to connect to them. I know it is easier to disconnect the board from the car with just one big connector, but I shouldn't really ever have to do that, right? How hard is it to disconnect 15 (?) wires?
I have the aluminum enclosure that Andy supplies. Could I drill holes in the ends of the enclosure, and run the individual wires through? Could I use cable ties on the inside or maybe even some silicone/Goop/E6000 around the holes to make sure the wires aren't pulled out from the board?
Also, where can I get the software I need to test the board and load the code?
Thanks!
