New ISG auto-off module in development (no more testers needed)

[sprengBoard]

i agree...a couple photos and a rough wiring diagram would be nice for us visual learners to help avoid zip tying in the wrong spot or making the connections in the wrong spot...great work by the way

Absolutely! Once I get some photos of a module installed in a Telluride I'll add a bunch of photos to the installation manual.

Thank you!

Bump! Progress on pics yet?

I’m going to work on it this weekend. Work have been crazy which is good. I will have pictures and a small video to go with it as well. Wish me luck

Got mine installed today. Less than an hour to figure everything out, fun project. May be having some hiccups so working it out with tech support

Here's a little taste

What issues did you run into?

What issues did you run into?

The ISG auto press function of the module is working as it should, but the Auto Hold is not (doesn't automatically get turned on when the module does its thing). I'm working with @arattle to pinpoint the cause, and will PM you details so you can know what to look for.

Oh man. I’m excited now put this thing on the store already

I can't wait for this product to be available but I guess I'm going to have too

We've been testing a few different things - ISG disables perfectly but having some issues with Auto Hold. @sprengBoard is working on some solutions. I've been cruising with a pre-production module and it's a joy not to have to worry about stupid ISG.

I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful, but what is going to be the difference between this one and the shark racing one?

I hope the Auto Hold is an optional functionality and not mandatory. Just my 2 cents.

This is correct - for some reason @arattle’s Auto Hold doesn’t automatically engage. I believe it has to do with the fact that the Honda Pilot the module was developed on has different signal requirements than the Telluride. Should be an easy fix, though I’ll need to do more testing on a Telluride to be certain.

Auto Hold is optional. There are two separate signals, each with its own memory.

The base functionality is the same, though there are some differences. Availability and price will be the main things, plus the module I’m developing will have a couple extra features.

Latest prototype batch ordered. Only a couple minor changes, but if my theory is correct it should solve the Auto Hold issue that @arattle is having.

Change notes:

• Removed signal LEDs that indicate when a signal is active. These were mainly used for diagnostic purposes and have served their purpose, now they're no longer needed if my theory holds true.
• Removed two resistors in series with the signals. These were added in the beginning as a little extra buffer between the vehicle signals and the module and aren't needed. I believe these to be the reason the Auto Hold function of the module isn't activating the vehicle function.
• Not a change to the board, but to the programming - changed the clock speed the controller operates at. New audible feedback function didn't sound as good on the prototype boards as it did on my test circuit - the only difference was the clock speed (1 MHz on the proto boards vs 8 MHz). Changed clock speed and now the audible sounds much better - even better on the proto boards than on my test circuit.

This would be so much easier and faster if I had my Telluride to work with! Maybe someone can send some good KFOS juju my way so my order will get picked up faster. Was told earlier today I'm #16 in line...hopefully it'll get picked up in November...

Just in case anyone is curious about what a test circuit looks like compared to a functional module:

I can definitely tell you take pride on your product. Once finalized and all little minor things worked out it’s going to be an amazing mod for all Telluride owners. Much appreciated

 

[Bohen]

Well done and keep up the fantastic work !

 

[sprengBoard]

Latest batch completed production and will ship to me within the next day or two.

Also, my Telluride order got accepted by KFOS this past week and my ETA is Dec 5!

 

[berryboy808]

Bump! Anyword?

 

[sprengBoard]

It's slow going since I don't have a Telluride at my disposal to test on. I've received a batch with a couple changes that I'm hopeful will fix the Auto Hold issue - I'm sending one out to @arattle today to test.
