Looks like I just missed out as well. Is there any chance of one more 'last' run? I'll send a PM.

@PatAllen, if this most recent batch ends up being the final run of these have you thought about open sourcing the design of this? It would be neat to have it published to the board here so that the design doesn't get lost once your production goes away. Obviously you reserve the right to your intellectual property and any future financial benefit so apologies if this is a little too forward.

i am getting old but not dead yet so the design will survive.

i plan to make a new pcb design (simpler) and new runs but not soon, maybe late this year.

any idea what one from this potential new batch might cost?

Wondering the same thing

Pat - A suggestion:  My box from 2019 has an issue with the cloth tape wrapped around the cable...it's become very sticky, probably due to the Texas heat or fumes from a gas leak I had in the trunk in 2020. You can see the black on my fingers from handling the cable (the red is ink, not blood ).

I've removed the tape and cleaned the cable with Goo Gone, and am adding heat-shrink tubing in place of the cloth tape.  You might want to look into something like this to replace the cloth tape.

A question for Pat or others - I remember seeing a post where Pat showed how to connect/read an 02 sensor using the box, but I've been unable to find it yet.  Anyone with this information?

Flexibility in the cable is mostly lost with heat shrink.  A more flexible covering from WireCare retains the flexibility.  Get the split wrap type that springs open to install without removing any connectors if recovering the cable.

Jimk, I like that idea...I haven't applied the heatshrink yet, but was concerned about the flexibility.

 

Update: Here's how the cable looks with a wrap from Amazon :)...it does look much better than heat-shrink  

ps. I put some paint/nail polish on the connector so I know which way to connect it.

Do you have extra wrap that you want to sell, or a link to the Amazon item?
