Sorry, I really do wish I had the knowledge to take you up on the free code by its self.

I've been working on getting a parts list and learning how to read the diagram.

[retepsnikrep]

Only 5 parts are needed if you don't want to bother with a pic socket or connectors.

Here is a digikey parts list.

1x Pic 12F1822 Microchip PIC12F1822-I/P-ND
1x 5V Voltage regulator LM78L05ACZFS-ND
1x 100uf Capacitor P10404TB-ND
2x 0.1uf Ceramic Capacitor 399-4454-1-ND

You will need a pic programmer to load the hex code into the device.
This is the one I use.

iCP01 - USB Microchip PIC Programmer (with ICSP & PICkit 2)

Or I will send you a programmed pic and all the parts for $99 inc postage.

Do you mind giving a new part number for this? That one is only sold in quantities of 2,000.

I ordered the programmer already. Do you have part numbers for the pic socket or connectors? And just a picture of the front and back of the device would be extremely helpful so i can reproduce it.

It's now essential that i get this device built. I picked up an Insight with an Ima bypass installed. It seems bypassing an ima throws an Afr code, and it didn't leanburn at all on the drive home.

Had the ima light off not been a requirement to pass inspection, i don't think the owner would have sold it. It's essential we get this device up and running to save these cars, it is now year 15 to have an original battery. It could be a life saver for these owners to not have to spend more than their car is worth to keep them running.

This should work:

I don't have pictures of the device as I just built it on some breadboard.

Layout is not that critical but put one of the 0.1uf capacitors across the power input pins of the PIC as close as possible.

Hope to hear some progress soon.

I do not have part numbers for the socket just used what I had in stock.
I spliced wires into the lines required in the back so did not use connectors.

Because i only know how to build circuits if i have a copy to look at: Would the electronically inclined members help me turn the top portion of this image into the bottom portion?

[sheepdog 44]

I have enough parts to make 3 attempts at making a working circuit. And i have the battery opened up ready to splice wires.

Important edit: Connect 5V to the PIC, not 12V.

I'll take a shot at this. Somebody who's more current on electronics can correct me.

The small ceramic capacitors don't have polarity, so don't worry about which end is which.

Did you make a mistake in the diagram, or is that just a clarification?

What am i to understand by j1 and j2?
