I think that youtube just wasn't done converting.

Ok now

Highslide JS

This is it, fully assembled.

Extra connector for inputs when used in non-BMW car witout IBus.

Mount angles can be put inwards instead of outwards

Project complete!

Last problems have been sorted and I will now send the second module to street97f who has helped me out greatly with this!

Highslide JS

Some youtubes can be found on http://web.comhem.se/bengt-olof.swing/youtubes.htm

More info on
http://web.comhem.se/bengt-olof.swing/gps_receiver.htm
http://web.comhem.se/bengt-olof.swing/PowerControl.htm
http://web.comhem.se/bengt-olof.swing/boot_2_0.htm

Can you get one?
I have ordered 10 gyros and if 5 people wanta a unit I will make new pcb's correcting the layout problems of this first 2 and also add a second IBus interface. One is there for the module already, this second one will be for the PC.

Edit:
Fixed prices. (IBus is some BMW's only)
Powercontrol with IBus and GPS (full system) €358 -> 239
Powercontrol with IBus without GPS €163 -> 109
Powercontrol without IBus but GPS €338 -> 219
Powercontrol without IBus without GPS €144 -> 99
Only GPS €314 -> 199
/Edit

Last pcb's works fine as GPS with DR
At the moment I have a few pcb's left that I can build GPS only units for at 100€ with gyro (gyro is 60$ + p&p) but without the gps module. No box. Some people have found the GPS module dead cheap on eBay so that is why I do not include it. I can if you want at extra 50£ (sorry for mixing currensies)

PM me!

yeah, very nice project , but you spent way too much on those components and pcb.

Yes I have paid a lot buying parts in low quantity from the wrong places and also lots of p&p. (considering the manhours I've spent (~400) I have not bothered until now)

Only way to make sense of this is to make more units at once.
For the pcb I paid 500$ for ten.

If I make more I will have to shop around for better prices. Where do you get a 75x103mm two layer pcb at 20$?

Someone found the GPS at 5£ at eBay which is a tenth of what I paid.

But I don't know. Interest seems to be low. Well, I will make one more u-tube to show what the powercontrolling part of it does for you. Next week.

This is what I'll do:

If I get 10 customers for a full system I will sell them at 239€ including payal fee and p&p. If I cannot reach that price I will cover the differens myself! Buyer is protected.

50€ has to be paid when the project is go. I will accept payment when there is ten of them.


powercontrol only..............99€
powercontrol with IBus......109€
GPS only.........................199€
Powercontrol with GPS.......219€
Full system......................239€

As you understand I am doing this for fun.
