On which forum did you find this info? Because I want to ask the owner how everything works.
http://www.google.nl/search?q=GoldCruise++CM25&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
(and no I didn't steal the info, I don't even have access to the site you are mentioning, maybe you should tell people who have access not to send me anything :-)) Have a nice day little birdy.
However the company that built in the system had no manual for the CM-25. I am still puzzled how to program the three pre-set buttons.
The card that came with the system never explains how to pre-set the speed.
The main difference(s) to my107's GoldCruise are:
- nice control panel on steering wheel
- electronic control of speed (by bypassing the output of the speeder and suppliying own signal when in action: seems also to be available from GoldCruise, my107's is mechanical)
The special part of dancar's monitoring of speed (and otherthings ...?) is that the control unit interfaces into the OBD-II connector to access speed information via the can-bus: the smart thing to do.
Anyone want to help make an open-source version?
This would not interface into the can-bus unless some library of functions is available to the choosen controller
Interface to car:
Simple relays (or IC switches)
- to break the speeder signal so that it is available for a new signal to be introduced
- to monitor controller watchdog signal, clutch, brake and "panic" button: all of which cause the speeder signal relay to go back to normal operation (safety features)
Signals to be sent to controller:
- analogue rev and speed
- analogue speeder pedal
- state of the speeder pedel bypass relay
Input from controller:
- the speeder pedal output voltage to be sent instead of the actual speeder output voltage
- requested state for the speeder pedal bypass relay
Controller for cruise control
It could be a [url]http://www.arduino.cc/[/url]
Controlling signals
- control signals from user interface (the switches you push for up/down speed etc)
- analogue rev and speed
- speeder pedel bypass relay
User Interface
Whatever you want
- switches on gearstick/steering wheel/ on the floor (my favorite, left hand side where one rests ones clutch foot, can be used as a dead mans switch)
