SOHC Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 My driving recorder wont stay recording, its the 3rd one I have tested and also different makes, I think some kind of voltage surge or drop is causing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostchips Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Do you have tons of old cellphones or some supercap/ultracap's around? Could make a voltage stabilizer thing. I have a few shitty zener diodes but i don't like that method.

Snorkpipe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Does anyone know how I could convert a piezo-electric signal into somethin a control unit would see as either high or low input? The pieze has around 1V AC, and the control unit wants either 12V DC, or ground as it's input? I have tried using a transistor to pull the control unit to ground, but that was unsuccessful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Sure about that? A multimeter won't necessarily tell you if it's dropped a winding and will still read 13-14v, but the AC fluctuations can mess with switchmode supplies like the powerpack for the camera Turning on the headlights will drop the peak voltage, leveling it out with the battery float voltage and stop the powerpack freaking out as much. A capacitor will only mask the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Do the cameras still freak out with the engine off? Another issue could be poor ignition coil earth or faulty coils. This causes a massive spike back through the 12V that can cause all sorts of haywire behaviour. Falcons for example are great for this and it trips out all the vehicle control systems. Honda's induce a spike into the crank angle circuit and causes the ecu to lose crank sync and ends up firing the wrong coil. Something like this could also freak the camera out.
