| [Sorted] FBH Controller for development |
|
Okay forgive my ignorance but being petrol I don't have the FBH 
Someone has asked me to build a remote FBH starter. Was pointed in the direction of Alex's build your own thread but as I don't have a FBH I'd like one to play with on the bench. A broken one might be find so long as the logic is intact.
Have a 2G Modem on order.
Preferably for free or loan - will pay Interparcel economy rates and you'll probably get a very cheap remote unit in a few months. Electrically nothing other than standard will be done to it if you want it back

The controller can be separated from all the sensors/glow plug etc: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post1186160.html#1186160
What I meant is, if you purposely have a non-operating and incomplete FBH system, how will you know your remote is working correctly on the bench? 06 D3 SE / 15 LR D90 XS SW / 88 LR 90 Td5 / 68 BMW 2000 ti

Thread title changed as per first line of my post...
I was meaning a FBH that might not fire or work as expected but has an operational controller. I am interested in talking to the controller to verify my code. I would expect not having a fuel pump would result in sequence of errors around this but would allow me you prove other aspects before a live burn.

Does paypal take beer now?  Also they don't have a wiki like this:

Thanks for all the replies.
