ECT Mod -- ON ALL the time

Hopefully he chimes in. I wouldnt mind selling these. I just dont want to overstep on him. He had the idea and his stuff is awesome. Totally respect everything he has done. But if he's not gonna build anymore I wouldnt mind helping everyone else out that cant follow @DaMaDo 's guide.

 

I'm a structures and mechanisms design engineer and mainly use Creo/Windchill, but I'm trying to get the agency to switch to NX/Teamcenter. I've been testing NX with a trial license from Siemens for a few months now. We might be getting several analysis licenses and a couple for design, but they will be used on small projects. Eventually hoping for a full switch.

At home I just use Fusion 360 though.

Edit: I recognized NX from the coordinate system.

 

Nice! Highly recommend. I used Solidworks in college but I really like NX paired with teamcenter after the slight learning curve. The automation capabilities with NX Journals (vb or c# programming) is top notch if you know what your doing.

 

If ya do, count me in.

Thanks

 

I actually made a whole video and most of it came out blurry :/

Maybe the one I'll make for a 100AH solar charging station will come out better.

 

Looks good @DaMaDo !

@DSIM thanks for the kind words. I had a V2 in the works, but with the new TSB fixing the driveability + all the other projects on my plate the ECT mod got pushed to the bottom of the list. So go ahead it’s all yours.
P.S I do have a bunch of OEM connectors and JST pins if you are interested.

 

Thanks @mesojdm, sending you a PM on the connectors . Still waiting on the relay / piezo to get in (end of this week) so I can finish up the prototype. After I nail down the parts I want to use I will plan ordering all the parts to do a batch, probably of 25 or so and go from there. Will likely create a new thread on the sale board as not to muddy up yours.

 

If you want to play a bit more with it and make it super tiny, you could get this tiny arduino board with an SMD relay like this or this. There's also the arduino pico board.

 

I want in on the next batch!

 

Me too please. Thanks for doing this!

 

Btw, does this mod put the ect light on the dash? I hope not.

 

As far I as I know ZERO way around that... Not sure why you wouldnt want it to come on.

 

Not a biggie...just hate lights on in the dash that aren’t warning lights. It’s from my pilot days.

 

Is ECT PWR on by default a variable that could be set with Techstream?

 

I'm in for the next batch! Thanks @mesojdm

 

Hello,
Not trying to step on anyone’s toes here but I am selling this:

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/for-sale-ect-always-on-module-motomatic.581008/

I bought this in June because I was looking to buy a 2018 and @mesojdm was not making any at the time. I ended up buying a 2015 DCSB 4.0 so I have no use for this.
$60 obo (includes shipping).

Thank you

 

I needed this thank you!

 

Making good progress on this. Will have a functioning prototype soon, then a little testing

 

Fully plug and play or does this version still have the power wire? Any benefit over the original version?

 

Full plug and play. No wire to run, 1 minute job. Rear emitting LED that will shine color though the ECT text for visual indication
