Re: Car Lift for Conversion

I've just picked up a pair of these from cj autos. Easy to move about and store, and maintains access to the underside.

Will probably end up getting a second set if they work out well.

One query I have is after programming/flashing, I need to fully power cycle things before SDO/CAN come back.
Likely some Init is missing, but if anyone noticed a similar issue and has a fix, would save me some time in trial and error.

I have the same, haven't found a way around needing to power ...

Re: [WIP] Voltswagen T2 -76

I think you should be able to use one of the pins on the iBooster for brake lights.
Pin 24 is "brake sys monitor" which in my testing goes 0V-12V when pressure/movement applied to the push rod.

Have you thought about ditching the pdm and using a more compact dc-dc and charger, or does the resolve controller limit you to the pdm? Zombieverter?
