    OBDII J1996/M connected to Ethernet (RJ45) pinout

    If your original application used the db9 input on your pc and you no longer have a pc with this, there is a db9 to usb converter cable available that will give you a virtual rs232 connection. Two things though, it's not enough just to connect an OBD cable, you need software to look at the info...

    Car GPS (in case car is stolen)

    In Aus at least, the cheaper cover is also known as fire and theft. Had this on my '78 Celica and just recently had a lead foot female reverse out of a park right up my LHS rear guard. She had no insurance as it turned out after chasing her for nearly 6 weeks. Long and short was fire and theft(...

    OBDII J1996/M connected to Ethernet (RJ45) pinout

    Show a drawing of the components you are trying to connect together, along with an explanation of what you are trying to do , rather than suggest ways to do whatever it is. All you have shown is a standard "B" type network cable, an "A" type does the exact same thing. What it will not do , as...

    Refrigeration T Stat confusion

    Might be easier said than done especially if you have no experience within electrical systems. Do you have a schematic diagram or can you access one from Google via the model number? Which exactly are the " compressor bars" you refer to that keep frosting up. Electronic control units are by...

    Car GPS (in case car is stolen)

    There is already an app for similar...workmates wife has the grandkids phone under surveillance. Showed me the other day. She can see where they are and if they are on the move or not. This is in Aus so I assume there is similar available for you in the States.

    Car GPS (in case car is stolen)

    I have an idea these came out about 10 years or more ago. Did a quick Google and heaps cropped up. Based on a "service" much like many security arrangements, I imagine you can get access via a pc or phone app these days. As for individual systems for a vehicle owner, maybe an extended Google...

    Need something for just switching between 3 lights

    There are many traffic light control circuits out there ranging from 555 timer control circuits up to microcontroller systems. Don't know of any pre-built module off hand. Sometimes, rather than build, one can get access to ready-built for a couple of dollars but I had a quick look and saw...

    Stuck detecting 'engine running' from alternator 'W' signal

    If you are already using Arduino, why not simply feed the battery charge voltage level into a spare analog input ( or rather a resistor divider derived voltage) It's a fairly easy couple of lines of code ( if > x volts then do this, else, do that) Arduino input will only handle up to 5v max...

    Learning Project Help - Converting a full sized solar panel

    No one was telling you to go jump, simply that Whonoes was pointing out that the info you and many others require at times is already in many places on the net without have to go in to drawn out explanations all over again. You must start any understanding of projects on a simple basis and...

    Learning Project Help - Converting a full sized solar panel

    I did say open circuit voltage which is what you will be dealing with, part of the time at least from what you have said in original post. Btw...my home solar system is over 480v dc, in circuit.
