Quick update to let everyone know that all the faces, including the custom, are done and waiting. As soon as the harnesses and DEI modules get here, every order will be packaged and shipped.

Thank you all for your patience

The boards for the 90+ still havent come in yet. I was expecting to have them this past week.

I know no one wants to hear excuses after laying down their hard-earned money, but I recently was assigned several projects at the office which have taken away some of the free time I am used to having, and even extending into afterhours and weekends. I anticipate having enough time to complete all the harnesses this week.

After working with the modules in a larger quantity than prototyping, it has become clear that using the 530T for the sunroof and leaving the second set of channels dormant would be a cleaner solution. The 530T separates the harnesses for the inputs and outputs, and this makes the routing much easier and cleaner. It also has some additional integration and operational upgrades.

I am just posting this for anyone who plans on making their own switches, or wanting to use their stock switches with an alarm....etc I will also be recommending this change to future customers. The only downside is that it does add some money to the setup.

For those 26 customers who did purchase a 529T, I dont see any need to swap them out for the 530T unless you plan on an advanced security/automation system. The 529 works just fine. However, if you do want to swap it out, let me know, and I will be happy to do so.

I will post an update when I hear from the board house on the 90+ modules tomorrow morning.

Thanks
Hans

Hi Hans....are the pre 1990 set ups good to go yet?

hans14914

I have a tracking number for the 90+ boards. They should be in on Wednesday.

I am assembling the 89 and older harnesses, there are a lot of them to do. I think I can finish up this week. I was planning on doing this at the office, but we are moving two of our devisions into new buildings, and last week I was put in charge of moving the data and phone networks. Its a pain, as it should have been done weeks ago. One company is moving tomorrow, the other the week after next. I have been working late and over the weekends to get things ready.

Thanks,
Hans

Hans. I am in no hurry. They'll get here when they get here. Now hurry up (just kidding).

So Hans, what do you do in your spare time? JK

Thanks for all of your hard work and outside the box thinking. I am excited just thinking that the delivery of the switches should be soon. Very excited. Joyous. Wet with anticipation.....well not quite, but excited none the less.

As previously stated, the boards are assembled and mated to the custom faces.

We are getting close

Roger. I see your switch face right there on top!

Troy (troy928) graciously lent me his stock car to do the final tweaking of the harness. It is currently electrically correct, but I needed a stock example to shorten and group the wires to make the harness easy to install. I tested the long and ugly harness in the car tonight, and its working great (has been tested before, but its always good to test on several examples). Unfortunately, I had to work late tonight at the office, so with the good light gone, I am leaving the shortening/routing for tomorrow. I plan on starting the final assembly of harnesses on Wednesday evening, and these should be shipping to Paul for the final packaging by the end of the week. I have everything on hand to build all the harnesses, the electrical layout is done and thoroughly tested. I will post pictures tomorrow of a complete harness.

I did make a small change since the original posts which I probably should share. I originally anticipated using the panel in a positive-pulse mode. I have since changed this to a negative-pulse (momentary switch connected to ground). This has improved the overall wire routing/grouping. The negative-trigger also is more compatible with aftermarket modules for those using a device such as the 528t or 611t (it also works well for triggering a relay). If a customer need a positive-pulsed output, I can supply a micro-relay that can invert the trigger, and I will pre-solder the leads. Shoot me an email or PM to let me know if you need a positive-pulsed output for your extra functions. Changing the design to the negative-pulse should improve the easy of installation for the vast majority of applications.

Thanks,
Hans

I'm getting excited! Must get to work on that EMP gun and pneumatic canon....

Hans,

So the switch is now "pull-to ground" correct? So it should easily interface with the ISIS system (aftermarket electrical system)that uses pull-to-ground switching?

Cheers!

Paul in the picture above are Bill's and Rogers switch plates configured as tactile?
