just installed it in my car and it works perfectly

The new code Polaris posted is spot on!

I will look into connecting the p brake later, for now, 1 click is fine

Thanks again Polaris!

BTW, it does not matter which way the transistors are wired as long as you get base correct as they are switching ground

I just did a "Tortoise Diff" on the Old vs New code and there are lots of differences so don't even try to cut and paste the fixed sections in place in the old one base on the comments here as you WILL miss something.

Better you just redownload the code from the same Link and save the .ino file with date appended so you can get rid of the old incomplete one.

Just saying to help ensure everyones success.

Kudo's to Polaris for developing this and sharing freely with his fellow enthusiasts.

I'm waiting on the speed line upgrade and then I'll jump in as well.

That would be about number 4 on my list of todo's for the 986

Yes, I saw a bunch of differences as well. Polaris mentioned he muust have origionally uploaded one of the earlier code versions from development

As a FYI, if you are looking at the code and have opened teh link before, you should refresh the cache (scrfeen) as you may be looking at the old code\

in the beginning of the code:

#define openBtnOut 2
#define closeBtnOut 3
#define pBrakeOut 4
#define openBtnIn 8
#define closeBtnIn 9

IF pBrakeOut is not defined, it is the old code

JB, I am in N San Diego, so if you need some help, let me know

Having decided to have a go at this I have now got all the bits and down loaded the code to the board and about to start the wiring. I laid all components and wire out and planned when they would go, this is where the problems start. It could be me as never done this type of stuff before, but my board seems to be missing a GND and the + - below is a pic of the board. Any help really appreciated
Cheers
David

Hi David,

take a closer look at the pin description.

Arduino - ArduinoBoardNano

Maybe this will also help:


PIN 30 = + 6-20 volts
PIN 27 = + 5 volts
PIN GND = ground (2)

Regards
Markus
