SI Shift Lights - by E30 Innovative Goods

[E30 Innovative Goods]

Hi guys, just an update.

The assembly of the first batch is finished. Tomorrow we plan to do the SW programming of the CPUs and test the whole setup board by board for all 10.
We expect everything to go smooth. If so, we will send out the invoices on monday.

Sounds awesome...would be great to get it in time for the Christmas break so I'll actually have time to install it!

Awesome concept. In for the second batch if initial batch is followed with good reviews.

Thanks!

Getting excited to see how the guys like it. Any idea when the second batch guys will be getting their invoices?

[E30 Innovative Goods]

New update:
The majority of the shiftlights were sent on the 18.12. One package will be sent today.
We are still waiting for two payments.

Regarding the second batch, we would like to wait for the first comments from the first batch buyers. After we receive a bunch of good feedback ;) we will start on the second batch. Note that the second batch is already partially assembled, so hopefully you will not have to wait so long. But first we wait for the feedback to see everything is perfect.

That's actually great to hear! I know I personally get piece of mind this way. I'll keep my eyes here! Excited to see what everyone thinks.

This is great to hear as it shows that you not only back your product but you'll take customer feedback on too. Looking forward to the second batch.

Of course it is.
You were one of the first guys to pay
So you'll be one of the first ones to try it out ;D

It's In

Received a nice package from Slovenia with a nice note inside:


And the following contents:



The cookie was a very nice touch!

Previously had received an email with a link to some instructions.

The instructions are really pretty well written and I had no problem following them to success.

Couple of suggestions:

Go buy a tiny flat blade screwdriver like. I have this set already:

http://www.amazon.com/Xcelite-Screwd.../dp/B0002BBZ4C

The pots on the different boards that you have to adjust during setup are tiny. you need a tiny screwdriver to adjust them. Also, the pots are very sensitive and sometimes you barely have to turn them.

Here's some notes and pics of my process:

Disconnect battery:



Don't really know why I took a picture of the disconnected ground. If you don't know how to do this by now, please return your E30 to the point of purchase.

Then remove this thing if your car still has one:



I removed my steering wheel, but you probably don't absolutely have to:



Covered the steering column to try and avoid scratching the cluster plastic. Already happened once before...




Take out the cluster. Instructions had a link to a how-to in case you need it.



Cyclops:


Then disassemble per the instructions. Remove the coding plug to get the SI board out of the cluster housing.:



Unfortunately this is the last photo I got for two reasons. 1. I suck at photos. 2. The battery died in my phone.



Fortunately, the rest of the instructions cover it nicely. With my setup I had do do the operating temperature thresholds first, then the warm-up thresholds. I'll try to add a video of it in operation later.

Feel free to ask any questions, so I can promptly ignore you.

Update:

It works, but not exactly the way it should. It seems the low them threshold settings are not working correctly. After removing and going through the setup procedure twice, it works while connected to the r3v generator board, but not when its reinstalled.
Will try the setup procedure again today hopefully.
