[DIY] : ICOM A2 clone WIFI mod
Napísané: Štvrtok, 2. Októbra 2014, 08:24
Zdravicko kolegovia, skusim sem hodit takyto bilingualny navod, mozno sa bude niekomu hodit 
ak ste socky a je vam vela si kupit ICOM interface z bmw (stoji len nejakych smiesnych 2200e + par drobnych kazdy mesiac) a sahnete po cinskom sunte ako ja za "ludovych" 400e tak asi za par hodin sa hrajkania pridete nato, ze tento ICOM nedisponuje WIFI modulom (strasna strata), cize si nemozete svoje auto diagnostikovat z pohodlia svojej obyvacky.
If you are costsaving and don't want to spent lot of money for Icom original and want to spend little less for clone, than you have to think if you require also WIFI option in it.
Kde by sme vsak boli bez toho, aby sa na nete neobjavil nejaky navod, ze aj to je mozne. Tak sa podelim s vamy o par obrazkov z montaze.
Now we have a solution also for this disadvantage.
Icom Interface som kupil cez ebay od chlapika zeus_tech, fakt seriozne jednanie, posiela to DHLkom, z ciny som to mal za 4 dni doma aj s preclenim, upozornil ma mailom nato, ze to stoji na colnici atd. fakt pristup cez pol sveta, nie ako kdekolvek v obchode kde otravujete predavacov.
I've bought my interface via ebay from guy zeus_tech - superb communication with him, I can only recommend him.
Na zaciatok, by sa hodilo mat kupene 2 antenky, wifina (atheros chipset) no a samozrejme ICOM A2 (pre A1 je to tiez mozne, avsak cinan zabudol napajkovat miniPCI port, cize si budete musiet kupit aj ten a nasledne ho tam pajknut)
For first, you need to have pair of wifi antenna, atheros chipset based wifi and ICOM A2 (for A1 you need also miniPCI port and hot air solder and some skill - Chinese cost saving)
Ako prve je nutne vyzliect ICOM z ochranej gumy. drzi ju 5 srub, 2 po bokoch, jeden v strede, ako je ju vidno aj na foto. Nasledne je este nutne odsrubovat oba bocne kryty ktore su drzane kazdy 4mi srubami v rohoch
You need to get off rubber skin, each of them is held with 2 philips screw, also one central screw in middle of device. After that you need to get off Aluminium pieces from side. Each is held with 4 philips screws.
Samotne pcb. Vlastne su to 2 vrstvene plosaky. Je nutne odsrubovat 2 surby ktore drzia chaldic, nasledne este jedna sruba ktora isti PCB o seba. Odporucam nejake male kliestiky na pridrzanie maticky. Tymto zoskrabete "zarucnu" farbu na maticke.
There is 2 pcb mounted to each other, you need to get out 3 philips screws. one of them is also held with bolt.
Aha sandwitch
prihodena uhorka (atheros ah9160)
asi je to po zaruke, kedze uz tomu rastu chapadielka :), ak sa rozhodnete antenku prilepit ako ja, bacha, kraj ide do kolajnicky a bude to antenke vadit, nechajte tam par mm priestoru
If you like my location of wifi antena, than you should leave few milimeters space from side, where is PCB held in case (I have to rework it after)
vsetko zmontovane, wifi ide, vidim domacu siet, avsak je mi to platne ako mrtvemu zimnik - wifi funguje len s fabrickym routerom (teda s tym firmwarom co tam mam
)
Ok, all parts together, wifi is working, I see my home router but with default firmware, it is possible to connect only with fabric BMW router. So playing with firmwares will be discussed later.
to be continued
