[@MrCarGuy]

Nice quick listens. Please think about adding it to Tunein. I mostly use that.

[@hpa101]

I'll let the team know, cheers mate - Taz.

[@ShinMufasa]

Nice lesson. Thank you

[@hpa101]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it - Taz.

[@michelpare1975]

Good information but when hand are over the operation, we see nothing ...

[@FREEVERGO8]

Would this be the same process when putting a resistor inline, Example I need to put a 120ohm resistor in before I splice to a afr gauge, so I’m assuming it goes inline just before the gauge connector ?

[@HellaNorCal916]

Could of used a close up shot or two, but overall a good and informative video. Thx🤘🏼

[@rafaelcalderon6028]

So is Zac back to being the wiring guru at HPA.

[@111a-p2d]

Thanks!

[@CountryRoadCycles]

Can you give some detail on the wire specs? The only thing I'm seeing online for 22 awg twisted pair is jacketed . Thanks!

[@blakewright3315]

What's the type/brand or part number for the ratching open barrel crimpers?

[@timecentral3134]

for anyone who comes along, the tool part number is 12085271 (visible at 6:45 in video). THis appears to be Aptiv (formely Delphi) brand.

[@user-oy6ry8wz7x]

What is the twist rate per inch ?

[@mechanized331]

I’ve read it’s 3 twists per inch.

[@audirx8]

Im extending a pair of canbus wires for my electric steering computer to relocate it. Does the can wires need to be exact same diameter as the rest in the system? Its a mazda rx8 and i have some canbus wires from a audi that look to be a tad smaller in diameter. Wondering if that would be ok. Looks to be 1ga thinner then what mazda used

[@LuXof1098]

Didn’t need a resistor on both ends?

[@SymphonyOnAsphalt]

Good job!!! Let me ask you something, what's the recomended AWG size of the cable? Thanks

[@upsidedown4155]

Diolch (Welsh for thanks) HPA 👍

[@ovalwingnut]

"My kingdom for a MACRO LENS".. just saying. Thanks. Cheers

[@TIGER-eb8ws]

Course link is not working!

[@hpa101]

From the description? I just tested it and it works for me. Odd. Sorry about that, not sure why it wouldn't work for you. Try this one. www.hpacademy.com/courses/canbus-communications-decoded?

[@BjornFSE]

nice

[@elikamosca6266]

Why would you splice wires in the can bus? Is this to intercept someone’s car data on the can network?

[@hpa101]

Yes, your data. Late model vehicles have a lot of stock sensors you can utilize for data acquisition and car setup + control - Taz.

[@davidatac9738]

What happens if they don’t get twisted ?

[@tauranganzkitingkitesurfer4197]

then the signals high and low can be affected separately by outside sources. twisted means that anything that affects one wire affects the other, then the data on the wire stays perfect.

[@cobrajeff96]

Just like any IT/telecomm system, you get crosstalk. The tighter the twist, the less chance of crosstalk. The evolution of the EIA/TIA standards for copper network cabling (CAT4 / CAT5 / CAT6 / etc) is largely based on how many twists per inch they can get out of the copper conductors all in order to minimize crosstalk between the individual conductors. The higher the speed of the network, the more twists needed. Cable shielding can help with outside noise intruding into the cable jacketing but it's only for outside noise and not crosstalk between the copper conductors.

[@mynty2864]

can you solder the canbus line ?

[@teemukuikka7100]

Should not use blue handle strippers on tefzel wire, black handle strippers don’t damage tefzel and should be used instead. There is a bulleting in manufacturers website regarding.

[@hpa101]

G'day Teemu. Yeap, you're spot on there, the Ideal strippers we have there are NOT for Tefzel wire, but they work great for the TXL wire we're using in this lesson...😅 We cover the other wire types and which tools to use with them pretty extensively in our wiring courses if it's a topic you want to dive into a little deeper 😎 - www.hpacademy.com/courses/wiring-fundamentals/

[@tauranganzkitingkitesurfer4197]

why don't you use a gas tip soldering iron from Jaycar for $40 bucks, instead of crimping?

[@tauranganzkitingkitesurfer4197]

I bought one, and will never go back to crimping again.

[@hpa101]

We don't like the risk that soldering introduces into our work, and prefer the repeatability of reliable connections with ease that the proper tools and materials gives us with crimping. The entire motorsport industry is the same, however, everyone is free to make up their own mind armed with knowledge and their own experience. This is a good watch in regards to progression through a career in the motorsport wiring industry: www.hpacademy.com/blog/from-tuning-to-motorsport-wiring-solder-vs-crimping-mil-spec-vs-autosport-tech-talk/ - Taz.

[@likewisepro]

Everything we do, but we prefer to tin solder the wire instead of mechanical pressure joint

[@coopersloan3938]

Well then you’re wrong.

[@beyerch]

Call me paranoid, but I like to drop a dab of solder as well. (or solder entirely as opposed to the crimp connector)

[@hpa101]

If you don't trust your crimps what is the point in doing them at all. Just solder if that is your choice of method. By doing both you are introducing the downsides of both, not just the good as well as adding extra time and costs - Taz.
