Options for Touch Screen Control

May 21, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

When we introduced our inTOUCH NET product in 2013, it gave our customers a very simple way to use a smart device to control all of the electrical functions in their hot rods, street rods, resto mods, kit cars and Pro-Touring builds. Any smart phone or tablet seamlessly connects with inTOUCH NET to give you touch screen control of your lighting, ignition, starter, locks, windows, accessories and your heating & air conditioning controls. inTOUCH NET is very flexible. It can connect with any device that has a touch screen, a browser and Wi-Fi. You can learn more about how inTOUCH NET works by clicking this link. This blog post is going to go through other options for touch screen control of your car’s electrical system using our inTOUCH NET. There is a very detailed video below that walks you through the process step by step.

This option uses a Raspberry Pi and a HMDI touch screen. Both of these parts are easy to get, simple to set up and give you great flexibility. The Raspberry Pi is small and simple to hide behind your dash. You have tons of options for different sizes of touch screens and they are all easy to mount in a dash.

The Raspberry Pi is easy to get. You can buy these directly from their website by clicking this link. You can also get them from other on-line sources like Amazon. Be sure to get the Raspberry Pi 4 because this is the version that has Wi-Fi built into it. There are multiple memory size options for the Raspberry Pi. For this project, you can use the smallest 2Gb option.

Next, you need a screen to mate with the Rasbperry Pi. If you search Amazon for “Raspberry Pi touchscreen”, you’ll get a ton of options ranging from 4.3″ to 12″ diagonal screens. You can pick the size that fits your dash. You need to find a screen that has HDMI and USB. The Raspberry is going to send out the video signal over HDMI. The touch signals and the power for the screen will come from the USB connection. This link will take you to the screen that we used in the video below.

Lastly, you will need a micro-SD card to hold the operating system for the Raspberry Pi. Anything larger that 2Gb will work. This link will take you to the card that we used in the video below.

This video walks through the steps to set this up.

First, you need to connect the Raspberry Pi to the touch screen. There are two connections: the HDMI cable for video and the USB cable for power and touch screen commands. You also need to get power to the Raspberry Pi. That comes in through a USB C cable. You need to get a place behind your dash to plug in the USB C cable. A USB port like this one will convert your car’s battery voltage to the required 5-volts for the USB cable.

Next, you need to load the Raspian operating system on the Micro-SD card. The video goes through that in detail. This link will take you to the place to download Raspian.

Lastly, you need to connect the Raspberry Pi to the Wi-Fi broadcast by the inTOUCH NET. The video below goes through the details but you can also watch this video to learn more about the process.

Check out the full set up video here.

Once you’ve gone through these steps, you have a touch screen interface that you can mount in your dash to control your entire electrical system through the Infinitybox inTOUCH NET. This shows you the options for touch screen control with the Infinitybox system.

Wiring the IDIDIT idTOUCH

May 7, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

This blog post is going to show you how to wire the IDIDIT id.TOUCH PKE system to the Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. The Infinitybox system is the electrical backbone for your restoration, resto-mod, street rod, kit car, or Pro-Touring build. Our system is flexible enough to connect and power any external electrical accessory that you want to add. In the case of wiring the IDIDIT id.TOUCH, your 20-Circuit Kit is already powering your ignition, starter solenoid and accessories. You are going to use the id.TOUCH as the switches that connect to the MASTERCELL to control these functions. Keep reading to learn more.

Before we go to far, please carefully read and understand all of the instructions that came with your IDIDIT id.TOUCH system. You can access the manual from the IDIDIT website by clicking this link. This blog post is only going to cover the wiring and connections related to the Infinitybox system. Please follow their instructions for the complete wiring.

Wiring the IDIDIT id.TOUCH to the Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit is pretty easy. To the MASTERCELL, the id.TOUCH is just going to look like any ignition & starter switch. This wiring diagram shows the details.

Picture of the wiring diagram showing the optional outputs from the IDIDIT id.TOUCH and the Infinitybox system

The connections that you are concerned about are the id.TOUCH outputs for the ignition, starter solenoid and the accessories. You also need to wire the id.TOUCH input for the brake pedal signal.

For the id.TOUCH outputs for the ignition, starter solenoid and accessories, these are positive 12-volt signals. Our MASTERCELL needs ground triggers. Do not wire the outputs from the id.TOUCH directly to the MASTERCELL inputs. This can potentially damage the MASTERCELL and will void your warranty. You need to either use a small relay to invert these signals or use our inVERT Minis. The wiring diagram shows the correct wiring of the inVERT Mini.

Check the configuration sheet that came with your Infinitybox 20-Circuit for the correct wire colors for the inputs and outputs mentioned in this blog post. You can learn more about the configuration sheet at this link.

The diagram from IDIDIT shows a neutral safety switch on the purple wire going to the starter solenoid. You do not need to wire this with the Infinitybox system. There is a separate neutral safety input that goes to the MASTERCELL. See this link for more details.

The id.TOUCH has an accessory output wire on it. That can be wired to the MASTERCELL to control any of the OPEN outputs on the system. This can be used to control an output separate from the ignition to power your stereo or anything else that you want separate from the ignition.

You also need to connect the POWERCELL brake light output to the brake pedal input on the id.TOUCH. The id.TOUCH needs a positive 12-volt signal to know that you foot is on the brake pedal.

Once you have the ignition, starter solenoid and accessories controlled by your IDIDIT id.TOUCH, you can add more optional features. The id.TOUCH has a set of relays built in that can be used to control optional functions in the car. For example, you could add a trunk popper. Or you could control your door locks if you have our inMOTION cell as part of your Infinitybox system. See the id.TOUCH manual for more details about setting this up. This diagram shows how to wire the optional functions on the id.TOUCH to your MASTERCELL inputs.

Picture of the wiring diagram showing the PKE outputs from the IDIDIT id.TOUCH and the Infinitybox system

The optional control relays on the id.TOUCH are not connected to power or ground, which makes wiring them very easy. You simply need to ground the Green, Blue and Black/Wires in the optional harness. The MASTERCELL inputs for lock and unlock on inMOTION would connect to the Green/Black and Blue/Black wires, respectively. Any additional MASTERCELL inputs for accessories would connect to the Yellow and Orange wires.

The combination of the Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit and the IDIDIT id.TOUCH gives you modern functionality in your restoration, restomod, street rod, kit car or Pro-Touring build. You can download a PDF of these wiring diagrams by clicking this link.

Wiring VaporWorx Fuel Pump Controller

April 22, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

We always say that our Infinitybox system plays nicely with other electrical accessories in your car. This blog post is another great example of that. We got a call from a customer asking about wiring the VaporWorx Fuel Pump Controller with his Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. He was worried about having to wire in additional relays and run a lot of wire. In reality, wiring the VaporWorx Fuel Pump Controller is simple and easy with the Infinitybox system.

The VaporWorx guys make some very cool products. Click here to get to their website. You have to appreciate a company with the tagline “We Give You Gas”. Their core products improve the delivery of fuel in your resto-mod, street rod, hot-rod or Pro-Touring build. They have been innovating products for reliable fuel delivery in cars with EFI systems since 2009.

Their core products are designed for returnless fuel systems. There is only one fuel line going from the in-tank pump to your fuel rail. There is no fuel regulator on the rail and no return line that brings excess fuel back to the tank. Their Fuel Pump Controller mounts in the rear of the car, near the fuel pump. It actively monitors the fuel pressure in the line at the outlet of the pump. Using pulse-width modulation (PWM), they vary the pump power to keep the fuel pressure within a tight window. This reduces dead-heading of the fuel pump and also reduces the amount that the fuel gets heated. We use PWM to control things like fan speed and light dimming from our POWERCELLs and have blogged about how that works before. Click on this link to learn more about PWM.

This blog post is going to walk you through wiring the VaporWorx fuel pump controller with our Infinitybox system. We are only going to cover the connections from the battery, from the POWERCELL and to ground. See their manual for more details on the rest of the sensor wiring required for their controller. You can access the manuals and installation instructions for their products by clicking this link.

Just like any other blog post where we talk about integrating the Infinitybox system with other products, please carefully read and understand all of the steps required to install the VaporWorx Fuel Pump Controller. You are messing with flammable fuel and electricity. Make sure you are completely comfortable with doing this job.

For the sake of this blog post, there are three connections that we are going to cover: primary power from the battery, the fuel pump trigger from the POWERCELL and the grounds.

The primary power for the fuel pump controller is going to come directly from the battery. This should be a simple connection since the controller should be mounted close to the pump in the tank and most guys are relocating their batteries to their trunks. Follow the recommendations from VaporWorx for the gauge of wire going from the positive terminal on the battery to the BAT+ terminal on their module. It is very important that this gauge of wire is sized correctly and that it is fused as close to the battery as possible.

Next, the fuel pump controller and the fuel pump need to be grounded. The VaporWorx team recommends that you ground their pump controller and the fuel pump directly to the negative terminal of the battery. This should be easy in most installs since guys are relocating the batteries to their trunks.

Last, the VaporWorx controller needs a fuel pump enable signal from the ECU. When wired with the Infinitybox system, this signal is going to come from the fuel pump output on your rear POWERCELL. In most 20-Circuit Kits, this is the TAN wire on the rear POWERCELL but check your configuration sheet for details on this output. The POWERCELL output is going to connect to the blue wire in the GT150 connector.

The advantage of using the POWERCELL to supply the fuel pump enable signal is that you do not need to add any additional wiring. You already have the POWERCELL located in the rear of your car. You do not need to run a wire from the front of the car to the back. You can simply use the POWERCELL to supply this signal.

Once you have power, ground and the fuel pump enable signal wired, you need to wire your EFI system to your Infinitybox MASTERCELL. This is how the POWERCELL knows when to turn on the output for the fuel pump enable signal. To do this properly, you need to understand if your EFI system uses a ground trigger for the fuel pump or a positive signal for the fuel pump. The wiring diagram for your EFI system will define this. Alternately, we have wiring diagrams for all of the popular EFI systems in the Resources section of our website.

If your EFI system sends a ground trigger for the fuel pump enable signal, you can wire the MASTERCELL fuel pump input to the EFI system’s fuel pump output. We strongly recommend wiring a diode in series to buffer the MASTERCELL from the ECU. As an example, the FAST XFI 2.0 sends a ground trigger for the fuel pump enable signal. You can see how the recommended diode is wired at this link.

If your EFI system sends a positive trigger for the fuel pump enable signal, you need to flip this to a ground trigger. You can use one of our inVERT Mini Buffers to do this easily. The Holley Sniper EFI System uses a positive trigger for the fuel pump enable signal. You can see how to wire in the inVERT Mini at this link.

This wiring diagram shows you all of the connections between our Infinitybox system and the VaporWorx Fuel Pump Controller. You can download a PDF version of it by clicking this link.

Please note that some wires are omitted from our diagrams to make them more clear. Carefully follow the instructions that came with your Infinitybox system and the VaporWorx module for the full instructions. Also note that the MASTERCELL input and POWERCELL output wire colors may vary depending on your specific kit and the options you have. Always follow the configuration sheet that came with your kit.

Setting Infinitybox Address Jumpers

April 1, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

Our Infinitybox system is very flexible. You can scale it from a very simple wiring system to one that is very complicated. Our standard 20-Circuit Kit includes one MASTERCELL and two POWERCELLs. You can add more POWERCELLs to expand the number of outputs in your system. Every POWERCELL you add gives you 10 more outputs. You can also add the inMOTION cell to control things like your power windows and power locks. For all of these cells to work correctly on our Infinitybox CAN network, they each need their own address. This is a unique name given to each cell so that it knows who it is and what commands it should listen to. This blog post is going to go through setting the Infinitybox address jumpers.

There are address jumpers located under the clear covers of the POWERCELL and the inMOTION cell. Setting the Infinitybox address jumpers is done in exactly the same way for both the POWERCELL and inMOTION. The following illustration shows where the address jumpers are located under the POWERCELL cover.

POWERCELL Address Settings

The cells use BCD to set their address. With BCD, you can use a small number of pins to set a large number of options. In the case of our POWERCELLs and inMOTION cells, there are 4 sets of pins. Each of these pins has a numerical value. Going from left to right, these pins are 1, 2, 4 and 8. When the cell power up, it looks at those pins to get its address. It adds up the value of the pins that do not have a jumper on them. For example, if there was no jumper on the first set of pins, that would be a value of 1. If there was no number on the second set of pins, that would be a value of 2. If there were no jumpers on the first and second set of pins, that would be a value of 3 (1 + 2). The follow illustration shows the combinations of jumpers to get the most popular addresses used with our Infinitybox system.

How to set the address jumpers on the Infinitybox POWERCELL

In all standard 20-Circuit Kits. The front POWERCELL is addressed as 1 and the rear POWERCELL is addressed as 2. If you add inMOTION, that is addressed as 3.

The cells only learn their address the instant they are powered up. If you change the address while the system is powered up, the cells will not change their address. You should disconnect power from the system before you change any address headers.

When you are first setting up your 20-Circuit Kit. You need to make sure that you have the POWERCELL jumpers set to the correct addresses for their location in your car.

MASTERCELL Error Log

March 25, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

Our Infinitybox system is full of tools that help you wire your car or truck faster. There are troubleshooting and diagnostic features built in that tell you simply what is going on in your car. This link will take you to our Troubleshooting and Diagnostic manual. This blog post covers the most sophisticated of the troubleshooting and diagnostic tools in the Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. The MASTERCELL is always watching the critical parameters for the POWERCELLs and inMOTION cells that are attached on the Infinitybox CAN network. The MASTERCELL Error Log holds any records of problems with these critical parameters and lets you easily access them for advanced troubleshooting. This may sound really complicated for a wiring system used in hot-rods and resto-mods, but this powerful tool lets our technicians help you when things aren’t working correctly.

Each of the cells in the Infinitybox system monitors their own health. Every second, they tell the MASTERCELL how they are doing and report if they’re having any problems. If there are problems, they are kept in the MASTERCELL Error Log. You can easily access the MASTERCELL Error Log by simply pressing the “HOME” and “SCROLL DOWN” buttons under the inSIGHT screen on the MASTERCELL. You press these two buttons at the same time, hold them down for one second then release them at the same time. After you do this, the MASTERCELL will display any errors that it recorded on the inSIGHT screen. The MASTERCELL can hold 8 errors in memory and displays them in order. This video will show you all of the details about the MASTERCELL Error Log.

There are three key values that are important to the Infinitybox system.

The first is battery voltage. The system needs a minimum voltage to operate safely. This is set at 7 volts. There is also a safe maximum operating voltage. That is 20 volts. If your MASTERCELL or POWERCELLs measure their input voltages outside of this acceptable range, they will record it in the error log.

The second critical parameter is temperature. Each Infinitybox cell has a temperature sensor built onto its printed circuit board. If the temperature of that board exceeds a safety limit, the cells report it to the MASTERCELL and it is stored in the error log.

The last critical value is for the POWERCELL. It is what we call the Charge Pump Voltage. Every POWERCELL board has a part of its circuit called a Charge Pump. It does what the name implies. It pumps up charge to safely turn on and turn off the MOSFETs that control the POWERCELL outputs. If the charge pump voltage falls below a set level, the POWERCELL sends a message to the MASTERCELL and this is recorded in the error log.

As we mentioned earlier, the MASTERCELL Error Log is an advanced diagnostic and troubleshooting feature built into the Infinitybox system. It is rare that errors occur. You are probably never going to need this feature. It will help our team get your system going if you do have problems with the Infinitybox system in your hot rod, street rod, kit car, resto-mod, race car or Pro-Touring build.

MASTERCELL Input Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

March 25, 2020/0 Comments/in Wiring /by admin

Our Infinitybox system has powerful diagnostic and troubleshooting features built into it. The MASTERCELL in your 20-Circuit Kit includes our inSIGHT LCD Screen. This screen is your window into the Infinitybox system and it gives you access to the MASTERCELL Input Troubleshooting and Diagnostics. By pressing a few buttons on the MASTERCELL, you can put it into its Messaging Mode. This blog post and the attached video will show you how the Messaging Mode can help you wire your car faster and identify problems easily.

All of your switches connect to the MASTERCELL. These include your ignition and starter switches, your turn signal switches, your brake pedal switch, the switches for your lighting, your fuel pump and cooling fan triggers and any other switches that you have for your accessories. The MASTERCELL continuously watches the state of your switches. If it sees one of these inputs turn on or off, it sends commands to the POWERCELLs or inMOTION cells in your system and commands them to turn an output on or off.

The MASTERCELL can be put into its Messaging Mode. This mode opens up the MASTERCELL Input Troubleshooting and Diagnostics feature in your Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. To put the MASTERCELL into Messaging Mode, you simply press and hold the “SCROLL UP” and “SELECT” buttons under the clear cover. These are the two buttons on the right, under the inSIGHT LCD screen. Press these buttons together, hold them for one second then let them go. You will get a message on the screen that says “inSIGHT WILL DISPLAY ALL INPUT CHANGES FROM ANY SOURCE”. You will also note that the back light of the inSIGHT LCD will turn on and stay on.

When you turn any MASTERCELL on or off, the inSIGHT screen will confirm that. It will tell you which input the MASTERCELL say turn on or off. It will also tell you which cell it is supposed to be controlling and which output.

The following video goes through this in detail. You can see which buttons to press to put the MASTERCELL into Messaging Mode. You will also see what the messages on the MASTERCELL screen look like when you turn inputs on and off. Check out the video here.

Messaging Mode is a very powerful tool. You can use it as you go through the process of wiring your car or truck with our Infinitybox system. You can wire each switch, step by step, then use Messaging Mode to confirm that you have the correct input wired to the switch by following the details of your Configuration Sheet. You can also use this to confirm that you switch is working correctly and that you have good grounds for each of your switches.

If you have problems on the road, you can easily put the MASTERCELL into its Messaging Mode and check for any issues with your switches or the wiring from the MASTERCELL. No tools are needed.

We pack a ton of powerful diagnostic tools into our Infinitybox 20-Circuit Kit. With no tools, you can use the inSIGHT screen on the MASTERCELL to learn about everything that is going on in your car’s electrical system. There is no other wiring harness on the market that can get you that power.

We just published another video going through the specifics of the built-in troubleshooting and diagnostic tools in your Infinitybox system. This new video covers Polling the system from the MASTERCELL. When the MASTERCELL power up, it takes an inventory of all of the cells on the CAN network. This includes your POWERCELLs, inMOTION Cells, inVIRONMENT cells and inTOUCH NET. From the MASTERCELL screen, you can easily check to make sure that all of the cells are properly communicating on the CAN network.

You can also dig deeper into each cell by polling it from the MASTERCELL screen. By polling the POWERCELLs, you can get a measurement of the battery voltage measured locally at the POWERCELL. You can also get a reading of the temperature of the POWERCELL. You also get a measurement of the Charge Pump voltage on the POWERCELL. This is a safety system that we monitor to make sure that the POWERCELL is operating correctly. Lastly, you can get a picture of which outputs are on and off on the POWERCELL.

If you poll the MASTERCELL, you can get a real-time status of all of the switches that are connected. This is really helpful for troubleshooting and checking your switches as you wire them to the Infinitybox system.

You can watch the new video that goes through polling the system from the MASTERCELL in detail.
