In your travels has anybody seen an extension for the main23 plug for the controller? If nothing prebuilt, how about a male and female part number so I can make one? After my lift, I don’t have much slack left. ---

I have the parts. They don’t make the “female plug/ male pin” that I can find. If you make a male to male, a pcb mount female makes a gender changer. Male pins both ways that fit. It reverses the pin number sequence, so it’s tricky. The other solution is soldering. Over all, cut and splice is easier. 🙂 ---

This is what I had made to make a 23p-35p adapter for converting to AC motor. ![23-35p](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/0/09332ae2801753e1b66779a337a52850b804ebcf.png) ---

If anyone else is interested, and for my memory. 🙂 Factory crimped wires are $1 each and connectors about $10. (3 needed) I also have a pcb that fits for free from a interrupted project. It is wired for programming port and leds on each pin for trouble shooting. I would be glad to give them away or redesign them, if someone was to continue the project. Let me look for a picture. Idea was to populate the board as interest in certain tests came up. None ever did. ☹ ---

Seems I sent one of these out. Haven’t heard back. Not as complicated as it looks. For example: Add an led and limit resistor on p1 and p2 to test for power. Led #1 and led #2. Test mode by adding ground return, dip and shunt, in upper left. Marked load. I don’t remember why. 🙂 The 23p socket fits board. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/a13c57b4477636eb25bddeb44d6fe724813bfbd0.png) I’m trying to dump some projects as this. And spoof, code 66 repair, etc. ---

I can always hope. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/9/9b6fd0ef20aa0a2cdab127c4dd95f8a01d51e2b5.png) Seemed like a good idea at the time. I know @LithiumGods wants one. ---

@Inwo you sent me one of the boards recently. I ended up not using it for the breakout harness I was making as I thought I could make it a bit more compact without it. So far the harness I made is working great. I have one switch to bypass the voltage spoof or disable the car if needed and the other switch flips the controller into programming/monitoring mode. The programming switch came in handy the other day while I was tuning. It enabled me to quickly test a bunch of combinations to find the limits on gear box and rolling radius settings to get my speed up. I want to extend the cables on the switch though so I can stay seated in the drivers seat while programming. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/4/4e1e10d7a09f4cac0088804239d8df6a7edb7be8.jpeg) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/5/5ea16396fb7764f8efff430b37acab2a38c1a467.jpeg) ---

Looks good…
