My finished product (enclosure)
I have tested my MPGuino and so I finalized it's assembly and just need to calibrate it. Here are pics. I used a USB switchbox that were on clearance for $1 because it's case was the right size and it had rear ports that I re-used for the interfaces.

Wow, that looks really great!
|
nice job, very slick looking!
|
Very nice. :)
|
That's an awesome case. It looks like a CB radio or something, just without the microphone part.
So you wired the VSS and injector signals into a USB cable, right? |
Looks great, I like it! If I had more room in my dash I'd do something like that.
How well do those buttons work? Any problems getting them to function simultaneously for tank reset, etc. ? |
Nice work!

The buttons work good, the springs in them are a bit stronger than I would like but I have had no issues. |

The only drawback to the USB is then you'll have 2 USB ports, and if you accidentally plug into the wrong one you might fry something. Other than that, I like it.

but he used two different sized USB connectors (I can't remember the proper name for those USB shapes).
|
He's got a USB "B" Female jack for connection to the PC (Via standard USB A-B Male-Male cable like printers use) and a USB "A" Female jack to go the the car for I/O and 12V.
USB A-A Male-Male cables exists, but they're pretty rare - that alone will help alleviate any "mis-plugging." |
