Multi-Purpose Buffer

I have designed a small general-purpose buffer that can be used for buffering electrical add-ons to your car from the CANBUS system, so you don’t get Fault Codes.

This buffer can turn a load on or, conversely, turn something off when something else turns on, all without the ECU or Body Module knowing anything about it. It’s simple but quite versatile. Rated at 12V and 10A. Files available in the Download section.

Rain Light Upgrade

The Prototype rain light has been working well for some time, so I have upgraded the design into its final form.

It’s still using 60 LED’s however they are now 3mm instead of 5mm so will now fit into a smaller form factor box which is easier to find. Download available in the Download section. I use PCB Way for my Circuit Boards. (# Not Sponsored)

While I was at it, a made a small adjustment to the flash timer by changing the wire to board connectors from “Push on” type headers to Screw type headers for reliability. I also sourced some .68uF capacitors so the unit now flashes at the designed rate. Download in the available in the download section. I use PCB Way for my Circuit Boards. (# Not Sponsored)
