This actually took a lot less time than I thought it would.
Today I installed the homemade wiring harness and did a few minor finishing touches. Now all I need to do is hook up the B+, ground, short out the speed sensor (a REAL pain in the ass to deal with) wire, and tap into the brake light wiring.
That's it.
It took all of a weekend to put everything together, from making the wiring harnesses to putting everything in.
The cruise control setup is really very simple; perhaps the most confusing part was wiring the whole mess together. That really wasn't a problem for me - I've been messing about with electronics from an early age.
If I pull this experiment off, I'll probably make DIY kits to flog on eBay or this NG...
The end result looks really unprofessional and homeade from the engine compartment (zip ties and scrap metal were used...), but I made sure everything stayed put and functioned.
Pictures to follow soon; this time I made notes and took pictures as I went along.
Regards,
Tim
