OK, so tonight I have drawn up the connector footprint in Altium, added it to the library and drawn the PCB up based off of my measurements. I buggered one of them up, but have it noted to be corrected on the next push to the repo.

Tonight's work has been pushed to my git repo

Corbon - yes altium can import AutoCAD DXF files I will PM you my email address.

Fred - I would like to talk to you about a few things potentially code related and/or feature related. The use of the diagnostics plug (as another RS232 port or CAN port) is one of them. If it is thought that it may be use-able for tuning, that would be cool too, but I doubt it as the factory cabling to the plug appears unshielded and could potentially cause issues. The use of the always-on philosophy would be nice for this too, as the ecu has inputs from the ignition barrel for the "ON" and "start/crank" positions and it also drives the main EFI relay as well.

Skype soon or something I guess. Whenever we are both available.

And I like a maniac, such is life.

Dan, yep, hit me up whenever.

PCB size dimension corrected, all pushed to the repo!

Working on the schematics today. More from me ASAP! (I love git and I especially love git at work)

Hardware guys using Git, worth its weight in gold. Being the one that converted them, quite simply priceless.

PS, there is a jag thread that needs your attention, please.

yep, I am aware of the jag thread mate, haven't had time to compile a list of what circuit is on what supply yet. it is on my list

EDIT: Pulled up and replied to it for you mate.

OK so I now have some half-decent schematics now

They are not finished yet, as I need to draw up the cas circuit, etc and I also need to talk to Mr Fred aka firmware guru!



NOTE: there will be some off-sheet links, etc that do not line up or make sense, these will be corrected in the next push.

EDIT: added note.

Done!

PDF updated with CAS interface circuit added.

Going to print out the PDF now and red-pen all areas needing alterations/work

Initial alterations/red-pen areas corrected.

A few minor things to do on the schematics, then a chat with Mr Cooke, correct anything based on assumptions I have made, then the PCB can be routed out!

Project PDF updated and pushed to repo!

It appears Altium doesn't like the image I put on the connector sheet when it tries to convert it to PDF.

As a temporary solution I have printed that sheet to PDF, so you can all see it as intended.

I will look in to why Altium is doing this when I get a chance and post up what I find (if anything).
