Welcome to the Yahoo group designed especially for creating a Toyota Prius Miniscanner Mark III. This device will allow you to see certain vehicle parameters...
I'm sure none of us has the money to singlehandedly fund a R+D effort to create such a low-volume low-price product. My vision is to create a design, have...

This sounds like an excellent plan... I suspect that Costal Dave or Graham would be good leads for the final product fabrication. I think it might be a good...
Hi All, I am way too busy these days to even think about being one of the drivers here but, I do want to accept the invitation to join and add my support when...
Two thoughts... First - My personal wish is to see MK-III be much like the current Miniscanner: stand-alone operation and the ability to "dump" selected data...

Hi everyone - Since we have the capability to store files, photos, links, and databases here in the group, we can use these to store our information as we...
Hi everyone - If you want to be a moderator of the group, just let me know. I have no intention of doing this only on my own! Also, if you think something...
Obviously, a group such as this will have to come to a concensus in order to make a decision. Some things to consider: Not everyone will be available to check...

OK, I've read the posts so far and here are my comments in no particular order: PBCs - 50 Mini-Scanner PCBs (assuming same size as Mark II) would cost $250...

I predict that the following issues will be controversial: * display size * use of the car's built-in screen * standalone data logging. We should gather input...
You asked for people to identify their skills and what they are able to contribute to the effort. My contribution is limited by the lack of the right car and...
This is in response to several of Ken's points. I don't know of any reasonably priced sockets for TQFP68 chips like the bigger Atmel AVRs. This is one of the...
Graham - Being a bit blind in the 1 to 3 foot range and not having seen the mini scanner in person, I am a little concerned about the size of the output. ...

Hi everyone - I am currently working as a software engineer at Metrowerks (subsidiary of Motorola) but not in the CodeWarrior compiler group! I used to work at...
Ken, The STK501 carrier board has a zero insertion force socket. These don't come cheap. Pricing of development boards can be misleading because the chip...

Thanks Graham, thanks for the reply. I am still adjusting to being somewhat blind and am learning to be careful about checking screen sizes. I will look into...
