New alternative to the ScanGauge

Is that a subtle way to tell us to leave you alone for now? I'm all for a low bells and whistle device. The more bells and whistles the more dollars it'll cost us.

 

Having the USB interface built in for the softw upgrade it is the right approach but then, the price will keep creeping up.
You must know, there is a LOT of $$$ overconscientious (cheap) people out there, fighting for the nickel and dime of everything.

 

There have already been a couple mods published here in the Gen II forum regarding 'tricking' the Prius into thinking it's at S4. But if some would rather re-invent the wheel, go with my blessing.

Great looking kit!

I'll be waiting for the Gen III Priuscan. Hopefully you can find at least one Gen III donor in that big state. Thanks pEEf!

 

pEEF,

Your PriuScan appears to be far more functional than the ScanGauge.

Why then would you not set an asking price, even for a "kit," that is
closer to the SG? Oh, let's say, $100.

Sure, your selling the physical pieces, but the real value is derived from
your programming and development time. I'll bet that even at $100, you
won't come close to breaking even at minimum wage on your time
invested.

 

build it and they will come.......pEEf you got me all worked up for this baby., I admire the work you have put into it. like others said, do what you feel is best, protect your time invested and charge appropriately.

 

pEEf: thanks for your effort - the community really apprechiates all of this!*:rockon:
I am definitely IN. I would love to help you figure out your device on on a P 2010. Unfortunately I am in europe.
As soon as you have kits available i am buying one - a can also do some serious soldering - also SMD!
Thanks T

 

Patiently waiting in line to buy a kit when you are ready to make some cash....

 

I'm in for one for my '05.
I also have a '10 G3 and have Autera on my laptop. If Autera can see it, and the data can be gotten through the OBDII bus, I can record for you.

 

pEEf,

Please update us on the status of this project. I'm sure many would appreciate it even if it is just to say that there has been no progress since your last post!

 

Am waiting in line too with two 2010 Prius and one 2008 Prius

 

I'm in this boat too. Mine's an '09. I've got $100 committed in my brain to one of these. If it also works on the Camry Hybrid, I've got another interested party.


You could also hit up Ponoko to have the enclosures made (should anyone want a special enclosure).

Make people buy the unit/kit and package it with a unique code to register a userame on a website. After registration they can get the updated software.

 

Can we have an update? Have you gotten any further on this project?

 

pEEf, both my wife & I always enjoyed watching my father in-law (he's a retired 81yr old San Diego electrical engineer that worked for an "elevator company" that had CIA contracts ) as he would work on his electronic hobby projects ... untill he moved back east. Now he's too far away to visit very often. I enjoyed giving him a hand. I ALWAYS felt that I took away more knowledge, then the help I was giving. You almost make me wish I lived in Berkley so I could be your 'Elmer' ... and move this cool project along even quicker.

 

Hi Peef,

Is your canbus device better than Canview V4.
