Things I've Built

CCFL License Plate Light

Nearly forgot about this install job I did a couple years ago. Complete details listed here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=364689

MK III Boost

Simple SMD breakout board for retrofitting a higher pressure transducer to an ECU that supplies 5V. Optional components for RC filter to smooth output and an DIP switch for bypassing them if desired. Works w/o RC filter & DIP if desired.

B4 HVAC LED Backlighting

Due to the dim output of the fiberoptic system for the HVAC controls in my car, I've started working on making a custom solution. Time is limited though. I've gone through 5 designs and 3 prototypes, but light diffusion is too poor right now

It might be a bit far, but if you are over in Detroit this Friday, we're having a Hackaday Meetup hosted by I3 Detroit - http://hackaday.io/event/1823-Detroit-Meetup. It would be great if you could make it.

  Are you sure? yes | no

The thought is appreciated, but I'm out in Cali so it's a no-go unfortunately.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Sorry, my bad. I was on the look out for Canadians. I must have been star struck by the D-DAQ. I'm sure we will be doing something in Pasadena in the not too distant future.
