Modern vehicles are beginning to use PWM to control the output of their circuits for the same reasons Motobrain does this. This is great, but it creates an issue if you want to use the status of the OEM circuit...

Sorry gang. We are currently out of stock. Texas Instruments is backordered on a necessary chip and it is gumming up our supply chain.

1300 Motobrain PCBs were delivered last week. We are looking forward to manufacturing our new versions of Motobrain very soon.

The next generation Motobrain hardware will draw 6.4mA in standby mode. It does not scan it’s inputs for triggers in this mode. It only waits for the key signal to turn on or the Bluetooth to connect. How it works...

The first prototype of the new Motobrain with CANBus and automotive connector just came out of the mold. She is looking good and works well!

Building just the smart half of Motobrain, what I call the “brain board”, requires 220 surface mounted components (40 different types) with 900 individual solder joints. I will manually place all the parts on the PCB and then “reflow solder”...

Here we use Motobrain’s ability to read data off the vehicle OBDii port to build a functional tachometer. This experiment is designed to show off how flexible this gizmo is.

We have a new high current PCB manufacturer and we are doing our first burn in test with their boards. We are currently driving 100A through the Motobrain to see how their boards endure the abuse. These boards use new...

We’ve been posting about updating Motobrain with CANBus and LINBus capability on Facebook for a little while now. Here is the first example of that triggering capability in action. Here we show a new Motobrain prototype monitoring the coolant temperature...

We are updating the software to allow viewing the voltage and current data in a time series. It has not been released yet, but it is in the work queue.

This is a demonstration of the new, more sophisticated programmable logic controller we have developed. We call it our Action Trigger Interface. It allows you to define an action and then select one or more triggers that are required before...

This new feature was a suggestion from many of you guys who are using Motobrain and others who just read the datasheet. You guys noticed that it is not possible to programmatically setup AND logic such that you can control...

There is an update to the Motobrain firmware available. Update at your leisure.

Martyred from Germany put together this impressive install. Here are a couple other examples from various users.

We explain whole process to update the firmware of a Motobrain with an Android in a 1 minute video. Too fast?

A multi-tiered security system will be introduced into Motobrain in the next firmware revision along with the timing features previously discussed.

You guys asked for and we will be delivering user programmable startup timers. You will be able to define a time period that a circuit will wait before turning on in response to all the normal triggers. After we are...

You can now purchase a Motobrain with Wiring Kit at motobrain.net. Try it out. We are shipping, Priority Mail, within 24 hours of your order Monday-Friday.

We will be shipping Motobrain to iOS users this week. If you are interested please email us at contact@motobrain.net with your Paypal email address and if you will require international shipping. Price breakdown: $300 for the Motobrain $30 for the...

We are wishing all of you a very happy holiday season.

We are shipping our first unit to a non business customer today. Many thanks to Moto_D, the lucky first customer, for accepting the challenge of being first.

The parts kit contents: 9 M6x8mm Philips head screws 8 14 AWG ring terminals 4 M3x14mm Hex head screws 2 M3x4mm Philips head screws 2 18 AWG ring terminals 1 8 AWG copper ring terminal 1 laser cut acrylic Motobrain...

Everything looks good here. We should be getting our laser cut tops this afternoon and then we will begin shipping units to Android users. We are still waiting on Apple to approve the iOS app. They are slow.

So far so good. I’ve updated the firmware and tested the outputs on all the units. I’ve completed a burn in of the first unit. Fifty amps for 2 hours. No drama of any kind. Everything is just humming right...

The first production units arrived from the Florida factory this afternoon. So far, all the units I’ve tested are working electrically. Two were mishandled during the encapsulation process and are too funky to let out of the lab. The will...
