Received the package. The 3.2 board looks good quality.
- Needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Took a few goes with Electrolube Fluxclene and a nail-brush to get the residue off.
Wasn't too impressed with case endplates - different materials and the rear plate wasn't machined to take the seals. Screws were ambiguous...
- Paint endplates black to match case, and ensure machining is done (QA).
- Change screws for some stainless allen head cap-screws. 8 packaged together.
- Black seals too please.
Spent some time in wiki looking for where to start building/testing. Couldn't quite find where to begin the required assembly (if any). Searched for specifics on functions I knew I'd need - serial, idle stepper, WBO2, injector drivers.
- Clear link from board description page to a step-by-step assembly guide. Big arrow / start here / etc.
- More pictures needed in wiki. Any fuses or components that may need to be added should have a photo as well as a description. Eg, the stepper chip.
Soldered on a 3-pin header for serial communications. Didn't see an obvious description of how to connect serial via the EC.
Soldered on the stepper driver.
Soldered on the MAP sensor, without screws holding it to the board. No mention of orientation, and both the body and the nozzle foul components on the board depending on which side is used.
