 |
|
We've just come out with a new package that makes it easy to construct plug and play applications for a wide variety of connectors. The DIYBOB includes an OEM ECU connector, breakout PCB, and an anodized aluminum case with cutouts for a wiring harness. Just slip a wiring harness from the engine management system of your choice into the back plate of the case, solder the harness and connector to the PCB, bolt the case together, and you've got a professional looking adapter harness. Here's a picture of a partially assembled DIYBOB:
Currently, we have nine connectors out, covering a variety of American, Asian, and European cars. There's literally hundreds of different cars these connectors will fit. We'll be adding more connectors frequently.
Click her for more information and a complete application list.

So its actually a patch harness kit, as opposed to a testing breakout board ?
Is it bare pins on the back, or is there a circuit board attached ?

Correct. Somebody called it "Bob" and the name stuck.

There's a circuit board attached - here's what's inside it.
Actually, there would either be a spacer board behind it or a board that spanned the whole width of the case, so the connector couldn't be pushed back when you plugged it in. These pictures are from the prototype stage.
In case you're wondering why there is some circuitry layed out on the board, the PCBs have a couple other applications. For DIYBOB use, the circuitry is not populated.

Full pinout info would be handy too. That can be the biggest pain when making adaptors, getting the right pin info.
I dont see any pricing on the site either ?

I need to get some of the numbering up soon. All except the N42 follow a simple rule: The footprint on the PCB is a mirror of the footprint of the connector. If you look on the underside of the board, you'll see the pins in the same position as they are on the connector.
Retail price is $89 except the EEC-IV one, which is $99. Volume discounts for shops are available.
