BlueSaab XM

Folks, here's what an assembled BlueSaab XM module looks like.






It was quite a journey to get to this point. Huge kudos and respect to Seth for his hardware design! Everyone should by him a case of beer for his hard work in getting the design ready!

Now to the fun part of connecting the dots on the software side and testing this thing out!

To be continued.

Following this with great interest, any updates on the progress would be appreciated ☺️

So far we have verified that the module works in a sense it can communicate on GMLAN. We have put together a bit more complicated "passthrough" setup to figure out how the actual XM module talks to the car and what kind of status reports it sends out. More to come.

Time for another progress update perhaps?

Happy Easter!

Not much to of an update to report at the moment. Module works. I've been driving with it in my car for a couple of months now. Trying to hunt down the reason behind occasional dropouts. I believe it has something to do with the "node presence report" being messed up in some cases.
