Re: State of Rex hacking?

Those ignition coils look too small to me to have built in igniters / drivers. How many terminals do they have? According to the schematics, they have three terminals: +12V, Ground and Signal, which is low-side driven by the REX Digital Motor Electronics. So you'll probably need a strong N-Channel ...

Re: asking advice to buy a oscilloscope

Picoscopes are really good USB oscilloscope, but they aren't much or any cheaper than their standalone counterparts. In the end with an oscilloscope it's a bit of "buy once cry once". In my opinion a good oscilloscope is such an invaluable tool that it's worth spending some money on it. I ...

Re: where to pass TUV in Germany

arber333 did it, because he had the same issues with local authorities: viewtopic.php?p=15631#p15631

But make sure to ask your local authorities beforehand whether or not they will accept the German TÜV report.

Re: [WIP] Mercedes 310E (310D campervan) - GS450H/GS300H

Get some good quality PVC tape from a reputable brand. Coroplast or Tesa for example. The cheap tape becomes "slimy" rather quickly. You can get cloth-like tape which is suitable for exterior applications like TESA 51036 (recommendation from Tom91 :D ). Tesa has catalogues which you can go...

Generally Amp SuperSeal (or clones) work really well and are waterproof.

Re: Outlander rear motor and inverter

The schematic has U V W with 1 2 3 and the lower pinouts of the connectors has the according 1 2 3 markings. That way you can identify the phases and it says "Harness side" as an identifcation from where to look.

Does anyone have any info on these? I bought one but it's not giving anything out. I think it's because it needs a pull up resistor, any idea on what resistance? The answer is the same as in the other thread. You need pullup resistors. Tom tested it and it didn't give out any signal without them. T...

I didn't, it was something I thought might be necessary but kind of hoped I could skirt over it. So I need a 1k pull up resistor in series with each signal wire? No, if it would have to be in series, it would be called a "series resistor" :P The Pullup has to go between the signal wire an...

Did you add the 1k Pullup resistor to the signal wires as well? That is mandatory for the device to work as far as I remember.
