Toshiba T1800 laptop harddrive repair

Posted on 27 November 20187 December 2018

I finally got around to fixing the T1800 laptop I’ve owned for the last couple of years.This is a project that has been shelved for a long time as I thought it had a BIOS defect which tuner out to be a harddrive (and floppy, I’ll get back to that later) issue. I posted a […]

Toshiba T1000LE progress and troubles

Posted on 20 November 2018

The new capacitors for the Toshiba T1000LE I talked about in my last post were delivered this weekend. I really was hoping to make some good progress, but ofcourse I ran in to some troubles. The first problem being that unfortunately two of the capacitors are in backorder. They will take two(!) weeks to arrive, […]

Vintage Toshiba laptops

Posted on 14 November 201815 November 2018

This is just a quick post as I haven’t made one in quite a while, and for a change it’s not about OBD2 or ELM327 stuff, but rather about some of my Vintage Toshiba laptops. I recently acquired a vintage Toshiba T1000LE laptop which has, as the seller told me, “possibly power supply issues”. Basically, […]

Arduino ELM327 library: First draft

Posted on 5 April 2018

As promised in a previous post, I've committed a very (and I mean very) crude first draft of my take on a ELM327 library for arduino to GitHub. It's largely inspired by the library I'm currently using, with a few exceptions: Support for custom init strings to be added Support for both HardwareSerial and SoftwareSerial for […]

Arduino OBD-2: Library rewrite

Posted on 29 March 201829 March 2018

So here's another (small) update on the arduino trip computer project. I keep running into issues with the arduino OBD-2 library (well, actually it's an ELM327 library) that require me to make modifications to it. So firstly I've added support for spaces in ELM327 responses and added a couple of init-commands to the library, as I […]

Arduino OBD-2: Inception

Posted on 16 March 201817 March 2018

After seeing some people on YouTube linking an arduino to their car so they could read the current speed, engine RPM and engine temperature, and someone on the Dutch Peugeot 306 forum doing something similar I decided that would be a fun project to tackle. So after some reading on the workings of the ELM327 […]
